My partner gets an overall sleep score that is often fair, but the REM score is typically awful - around 10%. For example last night he got an overall sleep score of 75 but with only 28 minutes of REM sleep across about 7 hours of sleep in total. Are REM reading accurate? Does anyone else get consistently terrible REM scores?

Hi @kojagi3 - Sleep is one of the better functions of the Fitbit watch. If the watch is properly worn and clean and giving good HR readings [which can be affected by tattoos] you should get representative readings, however with the V4 Fitbit app there have been reports of problems registering sleep.

To avoid installing the Version 4 Fitbit App make sure your phone settings are set to not automatically install app updates.
