Smart Wake Feature / Missed Sale

[zouzen]

Hi all. I have been using the Inspire HR 2 for 2 years. I love it a lot and it has the best sleep tracking out there. I was wondering if anyone used the Smart Wake option on the Charge 5 and if they like it?

I am also hoping if a moderator, like Lizzy, would be able to tell me when the charge 5 may go on sale next as I just missed a huge sale and im really sad about that

Hi @zouzen

I've used the smart wake feature on various Fitbit watches, and personally I'm not a fan of it.

In my case I have to get up at 04:00 some mornings and to be completely honest I'd rather stay asleep until that time (regardless of which sleep stage I'm in). I had many occasions where it woke me the full half hour before the alarm time and I can't say I felt any better for it, just regret that I lost half an hour sleep. So it's not for me, although it's not to say it doesn't work better for others.

I guess my sleep routine can be considered quite extreme, so perhaps it's better for someone with a more normal schedule.
