Wearables#

Integrating a smartwatch or fitness tracker with Sleep as Android allows you to track body movement and heart rate more accurately, directly from your wrist.

The app supports a wide range of devices including Wear OS, Garmin, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Mi Band, Amazfit, and more.

General Setup Guide #

1. Check Compatibility: Ensure your device is supported. See the list of integrated wearables here.
2. Bluetooth Connection: Confirm your watch is actively connected to your phone via its official companion app (e.g., Garmin Connect, Galaxy Wearable, or Zepp).
3. Install Bridge Apps: Most wearables require a small “bridge” app or watch component. See the specific page for your device in the sidebar for details.
4. Activate in Sleep: Go to Settings → Sleep tracking → Wearables → Wearables and select your device type.
5. Verify: We highly recommend running a Sensor Test to confirm data is flowing correctly before your first night. On models with no support for sensor test (Garmin, FitBit, Pebble), test connection by starting a short tracking.

Sleep data is analyzed in real-time. To ensure accurate graphs and smart alarms, your phone’s Bluetooth must remain active and connected to the watch throughout the entire night.

Silent Wrist Alarms#

You can configure your alarm to vibrate on your wrist only, providing a quiet wake-up call that won’t disturb your partner.

1. Sound Preference:
   • Silent: In the specific alarm’s settings, go to Sound and select Silent.
   • Vibration First: Go to Settings → Alarms → Sound delay to have the watch vibrate for several minutes before the phone audio kicks in.
2. Enable Vibrations: Go to Settings → Sleep tracking → Wearables → Alarm and choose From start.

We strongly recommend using Sound Delay rather than complete silence. This ensures your phone acts as an audio safety net in case your watch battery dies or the Bluetooth connection drops during the night.
