- Heart rate variability (HRV) status2: See last night's average HRV and the smartwatch will establish a personal baseline and the user if they're balanced, unbalanced, low or poor to help them get a better handle on recovery and their overall wellness picture.
- Pulse Ox3: Track blood oxygen saturation while asleep.
What our sponsored athletes are saying about the importance of sleep insights
"My favorite Garmin sleep tracking feature is seeing my sleep summary with all the stages of sleep after I wake up, specifically how much deep sleep and REM I got. I know what is normal for me in these stages, so when I'm not getting enough deep or REM, I try to focus on what I can do during the day or before bed to help set me up for better quality sleep (i.e., make sure I'm fueling enough, less screen time, a good routine before bed, etc.). When I'm getting high quality sleep at night, then I'm able to get the full benefit of my training, which allows me to perform at my best every day."
—Skye Moench, professional triathlete
"Why guess when you can know? The first thing I do each day is look at my sleep score, body battery and HRV status. You need to understand what effects those number and that it's all relevant to who you are. I strive to be able to put the hammer down (at tournaments) but also understand that comes at a cost. Having a way to use that data to understand the cost/benefit of how you train and how you practice is a huge benefit to me. The more you use this information, the more you can learn how to find the best version of yourself."
— Scott Stallings, professional golfer
