Can anyone share their experience using the Apple Watch? I’m particularly interested in its sleep tracking and general health metric capabilities. I’d like to track and improve my sleep quality since it’s pretty much garbage right now.
Do you find the watch to be worth it, in general? Or just another form over function Apple product?

It’s battery life is a bummer, so it often dies in the middle of the night or I sometimes forget to wear it again after charging it in tbe evening. My Coros watch has a 10+ day battery life, so I’m pretty much always wearing it and it automatically tracks my sleep and beautifully shows me all my sleep phases.
Interesting. I’ve never even heard of the Coros watch.
I’ve also heard the Whoop watch is maybe the best, but I didn’t realize it’s a $30/month subscription charge. Pretty steep IMO
Wearing something on your wrist while sleeping gets old pretty fast. All the metrics provided sound pretty cool and have a gee whiz factor the first few days, and then they all start to look the same and lose relevance.
They've sold you on the idea that you must wear their product (their expensive product I might add) so they can tell you whether you slept well or not.
THAT is some marketing right there. Don Draper would be most proud.
Most of the metrics these things measure aren't useful at all. Once you get past pace, distance, HR, and in some rare cases altitude, the rest is just trivial garbage.
The apple watch is lit but it sucks if your tryna do speed workouts and u gotta be messing with the screen to start and stop
I can tell you what worked for me, what i did was this prevented your Apple Watch from turning on and potentially disrupting your sleep. Here are a couple of ways to solve it:-
1. Theater Mode:- This mode disables the watch screen from turning on when you raise your wrist. It also silences notifications but allows haptic alerts. To enable Theater Mode, swipe up on your watch face to open Control Center and tap the two masks icon.
2. Do Not Disturb Focus:- Do Not Disturb silences notifications and dims the screen when your wrist is raised. This mode is ideal for sleep as it minimizes distractions. You can schedule Do Not Disturb to turn on automatically during your sleep time. To set this up, open the Settings app on your watch, then tap Focus > Do Not Disturb. Here you can configure a schedule or activate it manually. More effective assistance below.
Apple watches are garbage for any kind of real running. They don't have a split button for taking splits during workouts. Plus they are not anywhere near as accurate as the true gps watches.
