For example, VO2Max calculations are one component, Training Load is another, Body Battery another, and so on. So, on a watch like the Fenix 6, Garmin leverages (pre-sleep) 18 different components from Firstbeat.

But with this change, the company has shifted all of this onto Firstbeat for the different components. See, up until this point all of the sleep calculations occurred on Garmin Connect (the web platform), using Garmin in-house calculations.

However, behind the scenes there’s actually a substantial change. About the only one I can validate is ‘awake’ time, and in this night’s sleep – that seems accurate.Īnd finally, we get a bit of that elevator pitch again, though with a slightly different twist:Īs usual, all this data ends up on Garmin Connect (web) and Garmin Connect Mobile (smartphone app): As always, I have no meaningful way to validate these exact sleep stages, so, like all wearables we’ll basically just have to go along with it for now. Press down again and you get roughly the same set of data, just visualized differently with the exact times in each sleep stage. Next though, you can press down within this widget to get more details, which includes the timeline for the night in terms of sleep stages: – A short elevator pitch descriptor of last night’s sleep – A timeline of your sleep stages (Awake/Light/REM/Deep) – Sleep score (rating your sleep from 0-100) – Sleep time (not time in bed, but actually asleep) You can then press to open it and get a summary of your night’s sleep: Ok, with that done, here’s what you’ve got from the mini widget roll: You need to get one night’s sleep for the data to show up, it’s not going to pull in last night’s sleep for you. Also, if you do run into bugs, there’s a special e-mail address to report them, or the forum thread.) Of course, given nobody is doing any races right now – it’s probably as good a time as any to try new things out. As always, if you’re not comfortable with beta software, then I’d wait till this magically shows up on your wrist as part of a normal update.

(I’m not going to do a step-by-step on how to install the beta update, because those steps are already here. They’re nice too, but I’ll skip them for now.

The update brings some other widget-related tweaks that are largely user interface related. As such, you can now also see your sleep metrics on the watch.

In any case, Garmin has released a public beta firmware update for the Fenix 6 series (all of them, and the MARQ series), that brings sleep functionality from previously being an app/cloud function/calculation to being an on-watch calculation. I’ve been using it since last year after the other watch charging puck thing y’all went crazy for. Also, since I know you’ll ask – that’s the $14 Garmin watch charger stand. Ok, my goal here isn’t to write too much. But if videos aren’t your thing, just keep scrollin’.
