Let's dive into the juicy deets of Garmin's upcoming sleep-tracking marvel! After a long suspense, we've got the lowdown on Garmin's highly-anticipated wearable, christened the Index Sleep Monitor. Apart from the catchy name, here's what the rumor mill's been churning about this pad-ready device.
Fitness Tracker Test, the octopus of fitness device leaks, has dropped some tantalizing tidbits. This Whoop-style gem straps onto your upper arm with an adjustable Velcro strap and incorporates an optical sensor designed to measure your sleep. Besides the sensor, it sports an LED light and an 'integrated vibration module' to gently nudge you out of hibernation.
But how does it stack up? The Index Sleep Monitor will boast a bevy of health monitors, including a blood oxygen saturation monitor and a sleep score tracker. And get this, it's rumored to have a battery life of around a week, with a rechargeable battery to boot. Brace yourself for an estimated $170 price tag when it hits the market in the coming months.
