Wearable tracking features

IMPORTANT: Smartwatch tracking needs to be enabled in Settings > Wearables > Sleep tracking (Use wearables)

• Vibration alarm on watch: vibrating won’t wake your partner
• Sleep tracking using the watch’s accelerometer and heart rate sensor – better data, more comfort than having the phone in bed.
• Smart alarm
• CAPTCHA – in case your phone is few meters from your bed, then all CAPTCHAs guarantee getting you out of bed
• Snooze/dismiss control on your watch
• Next alarm time right on the watch
• Lucid dreaming vibrations on watch
• Anti-snoring (uses phone’s mic but vibrates on your wrist when you snore)

CAUTION: We recommend to still sleep track with airplane mode on, but Bluetooth needs to be enabled in order to make the connection between your watch and the app working. The recommended way is to switch on the airplane mode (which disables Bluetooth) and then switch Bluetooth back on

Types of wearables we support

A) Smartwatches and bands 🛌️❤

Sleep as Android supports a lot smartwatches. Instead of having your phone on the bed, you can use a smartwatch for tracking your movement and heart rate.

Usually you’d need to download an addon on your phone for your specific smartwatch brand. Please find below your specific smartwatch for instructions.

Note: You don’t need to download an addon for Pebble and Wear OS watches.

B) Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitors ❤

The app supports every standalone heart rate monitor that uses Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate profile. This is one of Bluetooth standards that we implemented in Sleep as Android, so we don’t need to integrate each of those devices separately.

Unfortunately there is no such Bluetooth standard for motion data, so we cannot integrate all those cheap smartwatches and bands without API support.

C) Pulse oximeters ❤ 👃

For a quick home check if you are short on breath during your sleep, you can use an oximeter. We only support specific oximeters that you can buy from Happy Electronics.

For more info, please read Breath rate detection with oximeter.

Supported devices

Search for your device in the table below to see what is supported.

Important: Your device is not in the list? We have an API to allow 3rd parties to integrate their device, please see our Wearable integration API.

We support all Android Wear and Wear 2.0 watches. They however differ in battery life – see table.

182 events sensor batch queue which allows very low battery consumption (although default sensor frequency is higher than on Gear Live for example)
Many thanks to Sony Mobile for their great help to overcome the sensor batching which got battery consumption from ~70% to ~15% per night. 

Known issue: Sometimes gets into a broken state and starts using up to 100% battery. Reboot watch to resolve the issue.

Known issue: Sometimes the Wear app doesn't install the app on your watch automatically. Sleep as Android then stays stuck on "Waiting for connectivity" and never connects. To resolve, go to Android Wear app > Settings > Your watch > Resync apps.

RECOMMENDATION: Use theater mode to lower battery consumption!

EDIT2: Seems to get to reasonable battery consumption per night around 40% after the firmware update and fix for the sensor issue below. Still we get reports that on unknown occasions battery can peak at 70-80% for some days. Usually a reboot fixes this issue.

EDIT: After the firmware update moto360 stops the accelerometer each few minutes, we have a workaround for this issue.

Heart rate monitoring

Apart from some Wear devices Sleep as Android supports gathering of heart rate data from Bluetooth Smart device such as e.g. the Polar H7. This feature needs to be enabled in Settings > Smartwatch. If HR data arrive you should see a  in bottom right on the Sleep tracking screen.

Your aggregated HR levels are available in the Sleep graph detail, they are used to better identify REM and Awake phases, see Awake detection for more details.

Troubleshooting

Wear OS 2.0

Wear OS 2.0 changed the way apps get installed on the watch, you now need to install them manually.

If you already have Sleep as Android installed on your phone, then the watch app can be only installed from “apps on your phone” and for some reason not directly from Play Store.

How to get there:
1) Make sure the watch is connected to the phone
2) Go to app list on your watch, select Play Store.
3) Scroll past Recommended for you, Top Free Apps etc., until you see “Apps on your phone”
4) Scroll down until you see Sleep
5) Click the download button to the right. Done!
