You'll need to head to Sleep app on the Watch itself. When you wear your Apple Watch to bed you'll see a decent amount of data in the Apple itself. You'll need to head over to Apple Health to see the different metrics recorded during sleep. The Apple Watch also uses the heart rate sensor to track blood oxygen and heart rate, this isn’t factored into the assessment of your sleep. It's figures are in the same ballpark as Fitbit and Whoop – two of the leading sleep trackers from our testing – and accuracy is one of the Apple Watch's strengths in this regard.Īs mentioned, there's no breakdown of the sleep stages, which can be wildly different across devices – and impossible to validate outside of a sleep lab. Many smartwatches will offer a sleep duration that's eerily close to your time in bed, while the Apple Watch is sensitive enough to discount wake ups ad disturbances to give you an accurate sleep duration figure. We've used it extensively, and crucially, it does get that sleep duration figure right. We’re continually comparing and testing the best sleep trackers, and the Apple Watch is up there with the most accurate devices in terms of tracking sleep duration. The Apple Watch will motion sensors and accelerometer to monitor your rest, and while that may seem insanely retro, it works. That included consistent bedtime and wake ups, and ironically, spending less time with your devices. The Apple Watch therefore focuses on the tracking of sleep duration, and behaviors you can control for a better night's sleep. Why? Because Apple says that stuff isn’t really directly improvable by users, thus not useful to know – and it has a point. It also doesn't distill your rest into a single sleep score like Fitbit.
There’s no sleep stage tracking of REM, deep and light cycles, nor is there in-depth analysis of how long it took you to drop off. In direct comparison to the likes of Fitbit, Withings and other wearables, Apple’s sleep tracking is undeniably basic. Apple Watch tips, tricks and hidden features.If you're looking for more traditional sleep tracking, there are plenty of third party Apple Watch sleep apps that will offer something akin to Fitbit – check out our complete guide. We’ve been living with it for a number of months – here’s everything we’ve learned and you need to know about the Apple Watch and sleep tracking. But there’s still a lot to like, and some unique benefits to using the Apple Watch to watch over your rest. And true to form, Apple’s take on sleep monitoring is different to nearly every other wearable out there. The Apple Watch only gained the ability to track sleep natively in 2021 – years behind the likes of Fitbit and Garmin.
