I started a premium trial, but I wasn't able to get the detailed sleep stats.  It said it failed to get them.  I had the heart rate disabled.  Does that need to be enabled for this to work?  I had premium once before and got these details, though at that time I had the heart rate enabled.  That is why I ask if this is part of the issue.

 

Or is it perhaps the device was too loose, or something similar?  It read my SPO2 just fine.

 

This is a Versa 2.

You definitely need heart rate enabled to get sleep stages, and to even get better sleep time.

Without heart rate, it relies only on movement, which is less reliable than heart rate.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
