Garmin has introduced the Index Sleep Monitor, a specialized smart sleep band designed to provide detailed insights into users’ sleep patterns. This new device promises to maximize comfort while delivering comprehensive health analytics, allowing users to ditch bulky watches at night. Retailing at $169.99, the sleep band is available in Small-Medium and Large-Extra Large sizes, and can be cleaned easily on a gentle cycle in the washing machine. The Garmin Index Sleep Monitor focuses on collecting in-depth data regarding users’ health during sleep.
This includes tracking vital metrics such as breathing rate, Pulse Ox levels, skin temperature, and even Women’s Health indicators. The device can operate for up to seven nights on a single charge, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into users’ nightly routines. Each morning, the band analyzes collected sleep data and generates a Sleep Score between zero and 100, reflecting the quality of sleep experienced the previous night. Additional functionalities include tracking sleep stages—light, deep, and REM—as well as heart rate variability.
Moreover, the band tracks blood oxygen saturation throughout the night, offering insights into users’ overall well-being. For women, the Index Sleep Monitor provides specific functionalities, such as menstrual cycle estimation and support for tracking pregnancy. Its skin temperature readings can also signal potential illness or environmental changes affecting sleep quality. The band includes stress monitoring and Body Battery energy tracking, guiding users on whether they should rest or engage in more activity based on their energy levels.
The Garmin Index Sleep Monitor is designed for those who prioritize health and wellness, making it easier to improve sleep quality and overall fitness.
