- Evidencia Monta that Garmin will launch an laptop without screen on a bracelet
- It is said that it is called the Garmin Index Sleep Monitor
- The details are incomplete, but it seems likely (as its name suggests).
The last Garmin Steel will not be, in fact, an entry in our best Garmin watches list. Instead, it is more likely to be classified with our best sleep trackers.
After informing that a band without whoop -style screen was on the way from Garmin, now we have more details about the tracker. According to the fitness tracker test of the leakage site based on “additional information” that it has received, the tracker is called Garmin Index Sleep Monitor, a nomenclature convention similar to the Garmin Index smart scale, and is designed to be used at the top of the arm.
Although it is a band without screen that uses LED optical technology to measure heart rate, there are more differences than similarities between this tracker and Whoop. Fitness Tracker Test reports that this band is designed to be used at the top of the arm, while Whoop can be used on the wrist, arm or even chest.
While Whoop combines sleep with the monitoring of detailed activities, this band will focus only on sleep, with characteristics such as heart rate, sleep stages, body battery, women’s health monitoring and intelligent alarm. There is no basic monitoring of passage, according to the fitness tracker test, which makes its use a limited activity tracker.
If it is true, it will leave the Fitness to Garmin’s watches, acting as a complement instead of a tracker all in a complete one in its own right.
The5krunner awaits a launch in the coming months, while Florian of Fitness Tracker Test awaits a price of around € 170 (around $ 195 / £ 145 / au $ 300).
An expensive complement
This is largely conjecture and rumors, but the evidence is increasing that Garmin will launch the Sleep Monitor index soon.
If all the previous information is true, and Garmin is looking to make a sleep tracker only, I would say that $ 200 would be a high price for a laptop that would depend on a Garmin clock already expensive to obtain a complete image of its health and activity levels.
However, at this point, we need to take all the rumors with a strong pinch of salt. We will know more if, or when, Garmin releases the Sleep Monitor index soon.
