Yeah my resting heart rate is 55 and then it gets down to 40 and i keep getting tapped on the wrist!
I dont think it does, it dont even register sleep during the day for me. I just had a 45 minute nap using the sleep focus and it didnt even register.
The Apple Watch should be more intelligent than that. At the very least, you’ve got the heart rate monitor, and I’m sure the watch can detect the sorts of micro movements in your wrists that you’d make typing or playing a game and recognize it as such (vs movement during sleep).
I wish it would just know that I woke up for the bathroom and not vibrate and ask me every single time if I want to turn sleep mode off, ends up fully waking me up.
Sure. But I traded my S3 in for $79 off on the S7! And I'm going to do it again when I upgrade.
It’s hard to believe how long it’s been! I still have my Pebble - it holds a charge last I check, but mostly it’s relegated to display duty these days now that the app is so finicky to get working… FitBit really did them dirty when they acquired the company. We never really got another easy to use, all week battery life smart watch after that…
This is what I’m hoping! The Pebble was working off of decent tech for the time, but hopefully ten years of newer gyroscope tech and monitoring algorithms will make it more reliable in the AW.
Haven't seen this reported anywhere, but the watch will FINALLY ask you to resume paused workouts if it detects that you are continuing! I always forget to unpause my walks after stopping for coffee etc.
It’s so strange how Pebble was first to market and had a week-long battery life, yet just a few years later the industry settled on battery life that barely lasts a full day!
The Pebble did a fraction of what actual smartwatches do. It's like comparing a flip phone to an iPhone.
Because the market decided that color and refresh rate (and fitness tracking) were superior to battery life.
hopefully they are improving the sleep tracking. currently, its useless.
I have been using Autosleep for years, its brilliant! no need to set any times or turn it on. it just works and it works really well.

My Apple Watch Series 6 on watchOS 11 beta 6 just did this secret feature this morning. I accidentally slept in for another hour and it tracked it, was still in bed and snoozed my alarm ⏰.
Glad that feature wasn’t removed. I used it in developer beta 1 to track naps. But from beta 2 on, it never worked for me again.
So does this mean now you don't need to piss around with activating/setting sleep modes, DND and all that crap and the watch just automatically detects your sleep in a similar way to the Autosleep app? I'd be so happy if so!
