You Don't Need the Apple Watch Series 11 to Get Your Sleep Score

[tyranne201]

people had doubts? it doesn't need any new sensor to calculate this.

It is also retroactive showing previous sleep scores. I’ve only been sleeping with a series 10 for a little over a month, but I can see the score for all of those days pre-ios26/watchos26

I got 75% last night.
1 cat and 1 dog must be blamed for a bad "interruptions" score... (4/20).
I have a Series 8 and I cannot find any pretext to upgrade in 2025...

This is precisely the reason why I had doubts!
Apple is petty enough to block the function for ********ic reasons... They do this quite often!

I like this. Moved to the top of my health summary just below trends.

If there are widgets I’m going to install them on lock screen and watch.

I received my Sleep Score this morning on a Series 9. Cool!

Loaded the latest beta yesterday evening.

AWU 1 (three years old now) - running Watch OS 26 and iOS 26 on my iPhone 14 Pro.
Got my sleep score when I woke up this morning.
I was underwhelmed. I don't know what I expected.

I dare you to stand up and tell us all that again.

It's worthless because there is no medical data to back up the sleep score.

Look back at your post I replied to. You completely missed the joke.

Can apple just make a simple health band?

That's the SE...

 

[rlewisphilly]

So is there a benefit of using the newer watch vs an older generation?

Only the sleep apnea and hypertension detection?

it appears the big benefits of the AW11 is a long lasting battery, 5G and the harder/scratch resistant glass. Same chip, so the software should work on older models too.

 

[Black_Mage]

I already know I have sleep apnea. I look forward to seeing what my results are.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

That's the SE...

A simple health band should have several days battery life.

Brighter as well. I was looking at my AW10 and noticed how dim it was last nights night. I much prefer my AW Ultra 2 & I’m pondering getting the AW Ultra 3 in black as an upgrade.

 

[Virinprew]

Man! I need those scores to apply for a job alongside English test.

I mean.. true.. can't argue with that considering the market of health bands and them all having batteries that last days..

i think sleep apnea detection is in AW10 and beyond. for hypertension detection it seems like they can do it with any generation, or at least newer generations, but we'll see.

theoretically i have sleep apnea and my AW10 has never reported a breathing disturbance. so i think it would have to be really bad for the watch to pick up on it.

Same for me, and I have even skipped a couple nights of not using my CPAP machine, and know I had some episodes since I had excessive daytime sleepiness the next morning and a migraine.
