Garmin’s new sleep-tracking armband lasts a full week between charges
- Garmin has introduced a new sleep-tracking band called Index Sleep Monitor that can be worn on the upper arm, providing a more comfortable alternative to wrist-worn devices.
- The device tracks sleep stages, heart rate, breathing, and provides a daily personalized sleep score.
- The Index Sleep Monitor is priced at $169.99 and is available in S-M and L-XL sizes on Garmin's online store.
- It features a removable electronic module with motion sensors and an optical heart rate sensor, offering up to seven days of battery life between charges.
- Besides monitoring sleep stages, respiration rates, and skin temperature, it can also measure blood oxygen saturation if available in the region.
- The device helps in understanding breathing patterns, environmental effects on sleep, and provides insights into women's health monitoring, including menstrual cycle tracking.
- The Index Sleep Monitor provides health metrics like stress levels, Body Battery measurement, and heart rate variability to assess stress and fatigue levels.
- It is not a medical device and should not be used for medical diagnosis or monitoring conditions, conception, or birth control.
- The Garmin Connect mobile app integrates these health metrics for user insights and offers an alternative way to track sleep without distractions from notifications.
- The device includes vibration capabilities for a smart alarm feature aiming to wake users during lighter sleep stages.
