- Garmin index sleep monitor is quickly becoming an open secret
- According to the reports, a regional arm of Garmin released a one -minute video with the device
- The video was quickly retired, but gadgets and wearables managed to take some screenshots
The fact that Garmin is entering the best sleeping race with a new product, which is said to be called Garmin Index Sleep Monitor, is no longer news. Several leaks in the last two weeks have confirmed the existence of the product. However, this time the filtration apparently comes from Garmin, as he published, then quickly eliminated, a video with the product. The call comes from inside the house!
First informed by Gadgets & Wearables, a regional arm of Garmin published the video for the first time. The report does not mention which region, and as the video has been eliminated, we cannot return to the YouTube channel that originally published it.
However, the gadgets and wearables apparently took some screenshots of the video before they retired, showing the device in action. The shots show a portable heart rate monitor connected to the upper user user through a velcro strap, designed to be used only during sleep. It is not a fitness tracker without female style fitness as previously thought. You can see those images on the link above.
Gadgets & Wearables confirms that the device will pack a vibrant intelligent alarm, as well as a seven -day battery life and the usual Garmin data set collected by its optical heart rate monitor and sensor matrices.
These include heart rate, heart rate variability and skin temperature, as well as a new metric called breathing variation. This is likely to be a movement towards the recording of sleep apnea instances.
Garmin's great bet on sleep
We informed about previous leaks that indicated that the device would probably cost 170 euros, around $ 200 / £ 150 / AU $ 300. That is enough money for an additional device that does something that your Garmin clock can already do, which is also not an exercise tracker.
It is said to interact with Garmin Connect in the same way as his watch, so it is likely that the intention will use his watch during the day and the most precise index sleep monitor at night.
As a tracker only for sleeping, the positioning of the upper arm will allow more precise heart rate readings, but we are particularly interested in the sleep apnea function. Apple debuted its sleep apnea notifications function in Apple's best watches last year, and Samsung has become hard with the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
His bed is quickly becoming the next border of Wearable Big Wearable. We will know more sure about the Garmin Index sleep monitor when it is launched, and if the promotional materials have already leaked, that cannot be far away.
