Not Happy at all
on August 16, 2025
Posted by: Jedi’s Dad
Initially the Index sleep worked fine. Then 3 days after I began using it, it stopped syncing to my Connect App. I have tried everything including reaching out to Garmin Support and following their instructions. Still nothing, so the Index sleep sits on my nightstand while I wear my Fenix 8 24/7.

Helpful and useful information
on August 15, 2025

I’m in my second week of wearing the index sleep monitor. It does provide helpful information, however I’m not sure how accurate it is. Last night I woke up and was awake for several minutes, yet the monitor did not register any awake time for the entire night (and I know I woke up several other times although for short periods of time).
Hopefully this was a one off incident and it will accurately track my sleep going forward.

Cat's Meow!

I'm very happy with it! Beats wearing my 965 all night long and it "connects" the data pretty quickly! Just recently added a "SleepMe" fancy "Chilipad" system that has a sensor that fits under the pad. Using it to "compare" data since we're all advised to NOT get overly concerned about "sleep scores." The "Chilipad/SleepMe" sensor has 2 pages worth of data (time I got in bed, time I got up + more). Since I read a book every night, that affects the stats. Because I set my sleep time at 2300-0630, my 965 "goes dark" at 2300 every night whether I'm in bed or not. Maybe Garmin can "sneak a peek" at the competitor's report and see if they see any improvements they can make.

Good - But Not Great

Simple setup, easy-to-wear, with excellent analytics. Battery life not up to specs, intermittent syncing to my dashboard. Overall not bad, but not up to normal Garmin standards.

Very inaccurate
on August 13, 2025

Possibly with updates this would be a good reliable device. For some reason gamins devices struggle when it comes to sleeping. After 2 weeks of use, I can confidently say that it's not accurate. It moves around a lot, it says I've only gotton 2 hrs of sleep on nights I know got 7 hrs of sleep. If I followed Garmin's suggestions, I would basically be unproductive ever since I started using it. Hopefully they can iron out these issues.

So so.

When it works, it works great. Keeps disconnecting and very hard to tell if it’s on or off. Very hard to get it into pairing mode, plug it in as instructed and do not get flashing purple light. At this point it’s a waste of money.

Out of 12 days of ownership, 6 days show no reports.
Presume the Battery went dead.
I am going to pursue a return on this product.

Marginally accurate

I've been using the sleep monitor for 2 weeks now. Initially it couldn't determine when I fell asleep or woke. That has gotten better however the pulse oxygen levels are still very suspect as they record low readings in the seventies. I think I'd be in organ failure at those levels.
