Pebble doesn't track multi-phase sleep (PT2)

I sometimes sleep in phases - for instance, 4 hours and then another 3 after a brief waking time. The PT2 only seems to register the last phase and so my sleep stats are inaccurate. FitBit seems to have figured this out and I have always had my total sleep hours counted by my FitBit. Hopefully you can borrow some of their logic.

This is a problem for me, too. I often get up to use the bathroom during the night. The sleep data is of no use if it can’t record the entire nights sleep. I was hoping to get rid of my Fitbit, but their sleep tracking is currently much better.

get the fitbit air and use that with your pebble watch strap

Why would I do that? I’m not buying another Fitbit. I like my Inspire 3, but I’m trying to move away from Google. That’s why I bought a Pebble.

I think if you care about accuracy for health tracking the pebble is the wrong device for that.

It doesn’t have the hardware sensors, insight, or logic to get accurate results.

I think some people are trying to turn the pebble watch into something it’s not. This is not a fitness watch.

Just my 2 cents.

According to the creators, the Pebble T2 is a basic fitness watch that tracks sleep, steps, HR, and can sense activity. That and the amazing battery life is why I purchased it. If it can’t accurately track these things, then it they shouldn’t have advertised it as being able to. The sleep tracking is all over the place. Mine is wildly inaccurate. If a $79 fitbit can do this reasonably accurately, a $225 watch that claims to do these same things should be able to as well.

My 12 year old Fitbit Flex does a better job of tracking sleep with only an accelerometer. I think it’s a software issue with PebbleOS.
