Why do you take it off when you go to the toilet??
Apple
A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
Don’t want Tim Apple tracking me everywhere.
Haha this one, honestly the only thing he deserves to track us after is those diarrhea after heavy food lol.
It’s fairly new watch and out of habit to keep things clean at first, besides nightly “routine” like brushing teeth, facial care, etc comfortable to just take it off.
Fair enough! I only take mine off at night, leave it on all other times, even in the lavatory 🤣
Cheap “Chinese bands” are just that - cheap. Feel free to use, but I’d neither trust the data, trust them to last, and/or trust them not to fry my arm.
As for the AW, during sleeping there’s a chance your AW may lock because maybe your arm is in a position that made your watch lose contact with your arm. BUT, the AW will continue to monitor your sleep for you, even locked. So, if you are taking off your watch, it doesn’t know that and will still try to record your sleep.
I recommend doing what I do - full manual sleep focus. Go to iPhone Health / Sleep / Sleep Schedule and turn it off. Then, when you are ready for to go sleep, turn on Sleep focus from your iPhone control panel. Go sleep and leave it on (and leave your watch on when you pee). When you get up in the morning, turn it off.
I understand you over there, I might give what you recommended a try, but let’s call it for what it really is, if it had continuous HR this would make it on par with those Chinese bands which was pretty perfect to accurately detect the moment i fall asleep and the moment i wake up, so accurate down to minute. But somehow as you can see the data I send above, while fully Awake at bed, AW registers asleep right in between. Issues like this makes me lose trust on it, and gets me to manually adjust and polish the data every day.
I’m not sure what continuous HR has to do with sleep tracking. Plenty of data shows that AW sleep tracking is nearly on par with sleep study devices.
Regardless, what are you trying to do with sleep tracking? I use it to help guide my training schedule or to give me some insights when I should rest & recover from over exertion or a sickness.
Don’t over think it though. If you are into training, I recommend Gentler Streak and manual Sleep Focus managing. GS will track your key metrics while you sleep and advise you on the day ahead.
And keep in mind. In the end, if you are still not happy with how Apple tracks your sleep, there our tons of well-regarded sleep tracking apps in the App Store to help you dial in to your expectations. That’s not something you’ll find with cheap “Chinese bands”.
I track sleep bcuz usually i sleep at 2-3 times a day with nap included and to make sure i don’t oversleep or under sleep which really ruins my whole day if i do so. That’s all.
no poop on my watch
Dude you write like how a crack addict yells.
Yo can’t blame me on this one, I speak way too many languages.
I mean your punctuation was fine in that sentence… was more a joke than anything. People who speak multiple languages are smarter than me imo
All good, i agree on that one being smarter than a person with one language, although i sometimes feel less characteristic than average with any given language I speak with.
smarter in what way?...there are many things that someone can be smarter or not as smart than someone.
Get the Chinese brand and stop
I love Apple but the issues stand clear can’t deny that, besides I flip those Chinese bands i have plenty in my drawer as we speak, simply good shit for having continuous different sensors and doesn’t bitch about battery life.
