I am looking for a Garmin 7 /7x sapphire solar if anyone is upgrading to the 8.

Thanks.

Thanks. It’s still a bit too much for my wallet and I am trying to find a better deal with a used one. Someone sold his 7x pro few months ago for $350 here and I missed it.

Ive been using the Garmin for about a week now and it turns out I sleep terribly. I mean, I kinda knew that but this puts data to it. So far my best sleep score is 60 and my REM sleep is about 30 minutes. I need to make some changes.

I got an 88 last Tue and felt like a god.

I rarely look at my sleep score, but if I go for a bike ride and my legs are heavy and I feel like crap, I'll look at my sleep score after I get home from a ride. After a crap ride it almost always shows a poor sleep score or a low body battery/recovery score from the night before.

Besides the Coros Pace for sale I also have a Fitbit Charge 4 I'd sell for $25. It's in great condition and used for maybe 6 months.

I'd take that fitbit, will send PM

I use a coros apex pro. Great watch, tracks my exercises well and gives me some health metrics, including sleep. I went with coros because it was significantly cheaper than Garmin at the time and had a great battery life. Last charged mine on July 13th, used it 8 times, wore it during all hours awake and today, July 25th battery life is still at 20%.

ZZZ,

I'd be very cautious about the sleep data. These devices do not directly measure sleep in any way. They extrapolate sleep states from HR, HRV, and accelerometer data and the accuracy of the number the algorithm spits out is questionable.

We are also very susceptible to induced belief effects from the sleep data trackers give us. There have been some very interesting studies where researchers provided subjects with hacked trackers that allowed them to manipulate the data; subjects sometimes got the real data and sometimes they got a fake score that was the opposite how well or not they actually slept. Subjects' self-reported mood states and objective performance on cognitive tests correlated far more closely with the number displayed on the device than their actual sleep score.

There is definite variance in the quality of sleep data day-to-day, but I have noticed some trends in my own sleep patterns over 4yrs that helped me get better rest and improve my long term health. The big things were quantifying how detrimental night shift work was for my health, and identifying what type of sleep positions triggered sleep apnea.

I wouldn't take the number as gospel, and I would say that my overnight resting HR is a way better indicator for me on the quality of my sleep.
