Apple Watch 3 - Sleep Tracking

Hello Apple Watch 3 owners:


I am considering of buying a fitness watch to track my 1) fitness activities, 2) heart rate and 3) sleep pattern. I have no doubt that AW3 can do 1) perfectly, but what about 2) & 3)?


With my extensive research, it appears that AW3 cannot do continuous heart rate monitoring? Is that also your experience?


My other concern is can AW3 track REM SLEEP? Can AW3 track my sleep without manual start/stop each day?


Please share your experiences! Thanks.

Hi


Heart rate tracking


Apple Watch takes background heart rate measurements automatically at intervals that vary, depending on your activity level, as explained in the following support article:


Your heart rate. What it means, and where on Apple Watch you’ll find it. - Apple Support


Heart rate can also be checked manually at any time using the Heart Rate app:


Check your heart rate


Heart rate is also automatically recorded continuously during workouts when recording them via the built-in Workout app and third-party fitness tracking apps that support the feature:

Sleep tracking


The built-in apps on Apple Watch (any model) do not currently include sleep tracking features.


Various third-party apps offer sleep tracking features, some requiring a third-party accessory.
