Sleep tracking watchOS 7 is inaccurate

Use AutoSleep super accurate and shows a lot of details and one time fee of 5$ or something Canadian 5 to 6$ no monthly payment and gives so much details it’s automatic and been calculating my sleep very accurate and shows you tons of details apple sleep is pointless in a way doesn’t show you any details about your sleep just how much you slept AutoSleep shows Deep quality light awake heart rate while sleeping and also it never calculates when I’m in bed laying down as sleep somehow the app knows when i sleep and it’s almost like 100% accurate

Download auto sleep it’s the best app in the market and it’s like 6$ and one time fee no monthly I also got the HeartWatch from them and it’s super accurate as well matter fact AutoSleep doesn’t even miss a minute it gives me exact time when I sleep and wake up based on my timing and has amazing graphic and details try that app and you will see how amazing Apple Watch is the apple sleep is very limited but pay 5 or 6$ and you will get an app that no watch comes with that’s what I do you don’t have to depend on apple apps all the time you can download 3d parties that work with Apple Watch sensors apple got amazing sensors for heart rate and other things but you gotta download an app that knows how to use those things most sleep apps have monthly fees and don’t work as good as AutoSleep and AutoSleep you pay one time I’m telling you I have tried every single thing and when I had auto sleep I couldn’t believe how this app can do this so that’s the thing you have to download an app the works well with the sensors that’s my advice and I guarantee you when you use AutoSleep you won’t use anything else after and HeartWatch is from auto sleep developers and works just as good it actually help me a lot with my sleep and heart monitoring

The app seems to simply count the time in bed as sleep, without any analysis of body motion, heart rate, or other factors. I sometimes experience bouts of insomnia, and there have been nights in which I know I was either awake or going in and out of sleep for hours, yet as long as I'm in bed within the Sleep Schedule hours Apple reports I slept for eight hours! It's highly misleading of Apple to claim Watch now has sleep tracking when it gives such inaccurate results. I've tried several of the free tracking apps in the past, and they all give vastly superior results.

Mine most certainly does not count the time in bed as sleep. I've used FitBit and Sleep for years so I have a pretty good understanding of my sleeping patterns. The Watch is wildly inaccurate. It is particularly bad at guessing when I've actually woken up, as opposed to stirred for the first time in the morning.

When I have worn both my Apple watch and Fitbit Ionic to bed (test scenario) the Fitbit is Much more accurate than the Auto sleep app.

Experiencing the same issue. I have been using FitBit sleep tracking for a couple of years now and have always been amazed as to how accurate it was. Bought a new Apple Watch 6 and must say the Sleep tracking is far off in terms of accuracy. Plus the workout tracking on the watch is annoying at best. FitBit is superior in that aspect too- no alerts for you to accept the workout and tracking is quite accurate again. As a fitness tracker, Apple Watch is behind, at least, compared to FitBit and am already planning to return the watch 6 and look elsewhere.

My sleep tracker is grossly inaccurate since updating my series 4 to IOS 7 and 7.0.1.

I'm also experiencing problems with the fitness tracker syncing correctly to my phone. It drops details of my exercising or stand up hours even though the summary is showing accurately. For instance, I count only four stand up bars on my phone but it shows 11/12 stand hours.

I got my Apple Watch series 6 yesterday and after the first night I am totally disappointed with the inaccuracy of sleep tracking. Until last night, I used FitBit Ionic and was quite satisfied with how Ionic recorded sleep tracking.

I'll give the watch another chance for a week or so, but honestly this first impressions is terrible. This is super important to me since also have insomnia issues and accurate tracking of sleep can't be just measuring time in bed! Btw, for the first night even my that parameter it was not correct!

I am having the same issue, just got my apple watch series 6 one week ago and I am using pillow as my sleep tracker. The sleep tracking was totally inaccurate at all. In the middle of the night I didn’t even awake but the tracker shown that I am awake, that is totally annoying

yes it’s inaccurate 100%

I have been using honor band and it was very accurate it has amazing sleep tracker tells you sleep quality and the deep sleep , and when you get a nap any time it adds it to the sleep time just I changed it to apple watch I shoked whith the low qualityof the sleep application

I previously have owned Fitbit smart watch products, which are quite accurate regarding sleep tracking. Since switching to an Apple watch I have noticed how extremely inaccurate the “auto sleep” tracking program is. For example it has me as awake from 12:30-1:59 this morning, when i was actually asleep. Is there a more reliably accurate app I can download for use with my IPhone/Apple watch??

I've set my sleep time as midnight to 8:00am and twice so far the app tells me I went to sleep at 7:00, getting 13 hrs of sleep. And as far as I know, there no way to manually adjust this!

Sleepwatch is better than pillow

The sleep tracking in health doesn’t monitor my heart rate enough to provide meaningful sleep tracking. Other apps aren’t able to function with this low level of data. And, the health app data is useless for sleep analysis.

The same issue. The tracking data is just useless.

It looks like the watch tracks whether you are using any of your Apple devices in a period of time you set in Sleep settings.

If no - you are sleeping, if yes - not.

If you dismissed the alarm but still are sleeping for a couple of hours - they won't be accounted for.

If you press snooze when alarming - the time period is extended for a snoozing time, but the algorithm remains the same.

If you take a nap in the middle of the day - it won't be accounted for.

If you are in a sleep time range and is not using any device but is reading a book - this time might be counted as asleep.

Very disappointing algorithms that actually are not related to a physiological sleep tracking, but rather to a connected devices activity tracking.

I'm sure Apple can manage it out and provide a really helpful feature.

Especially because there are dozen of companies that have already done this before.
