- Garmin has unveiled a new monitoring of portable sleep
- It is yours for $ 169.99 / £ 149.99 / $ 299
- The group is able to follow several measures while you sleep
Just as I like my Garmin Instinct 3, I don’t like to wear it while it is not uncomfortable, but it’s too big and heavy for the bed. Now there is an alternative to me and all those who have one of the best Garmin watches: the index Sleep monitor.
The newly unveiled laptop looks like an oversized Whoop Tracker. Above all, it is without screen and light, it should therefore not interfere with a good night’s sleep – and it can last a week between the battery loads. There are even two sizes to choose, the small / medium or large / extra-large.
It is not a completely unexpected development: earlier this month, we saw a disclosed video showing what we know now is the sleep instructor Garmin Index in action. Details such as one week’s battery life have also been disclosed.
It is a laptop for sleep monitoring and sleep monitoring, and it is available now for $ 169.99 / £ 149.99 $ 299 at the Garmin website-although at the time of writing, shipping times are listed as 3 to 5 weeks (United States and United Kingdom) and 4-7 working days (Australia).
9 key features to know
Garmin laptops are generally among the most complete in terms of functionalities, and the index Sleep monitor is not different. There are a total of nine different measures followed by the armband.
These are stages of sleep (light. Deep and REM), the variability of heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory variations, breathing rates, skin temperature (including additional menstrual cycle for women), which Garmin calls the body’s energy levels and stress monitoring. The ninth and last metric is a global sleep score.
Add an intelligent alarm function that you vibrate gently at the same time to adapt to your circadian rhythms, and it is an attractive global package. As usual with Garmin devices, everything goes back to the Connect application on your phone.
Garmin also addressed another problem with sleep trackers: cleanliness. The Sleep index monitor strip can be washed in a gentle cycle, once the real monitor is removed, so it remains as fresh as your pajamas.
