bought a few weeks ago and find that my Apple Watch is much more accurate. I planned on wearing the sleep arm band at night while charging my watch but find the results disappointing.
And re-pairing via BT is downright clunky and nearly impossible. Now I know I need to ”tap the device 15 to 20 times " to out into pairing mode. After Garmin says restart phone, restart app, uninstall app. Etc. Crazy. Just start with the tap method. It's all so exhausting.
And before we go there my epix pro gen 2 has zero issues staying connected
I have been in the Garmin ecosystem for some time, and utilized my watch to sleep with. Wanted to take the off at night, better comfort, and this was a good option. Very comfortable. Stays in place. Gives all the information my fenix 6 does and temp, breathing interruptions.
Device is easy to use and much more comfortable than a watch to sleep with.

Comfortable, but connection problems

I find the Index Sleep Monitor to be much more comfortable than wearing my Forerunner watch to bed. I've had a couple of times when the Sleep Monitor lost connection. I had to restore the connection in order for it to offload data.
I think it's a good product and I'll continue to use it. Unfortunately, It doesn't seem to work seamlessly all the time. Hope they fix the wrinkles.
