Question about different trackers for sleep monitoring

‎10-28-2019 13:34

Hi all...I'm currently using a Fitbit Alta HR as my main sleep tracker and while it's doing a 'good' job, I was wondering about the newer Fitbit trackers and if they would be better.  Does anyone know if the new line, i.e Versa 2, Versa Lite, etc. are better than the Alta HR for more accurate detection on when I fall asleep and the quality of my sleep?

My guess (no guarantee I am right on this) is that they are all nearly the same accuracy, and most of the intelligence of it is in Fitbit's processing of the heart rate data that Fitbit gets back from the tracker.  However I suppose there are slight improvements in the hardware collection of the heart rate data that could improve sleep tracking slightly with newer models.

 

However, I haven't compared and don't have any real basis for that, other than how I expect things work.

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