Vratislav Holub Apple Watch is considered the king in the smart watch segment. The truth is that in terms of functions, processing and overall options, they are slightly ahead of their competition, which puts them at a clear advantage. Unfortunately, the adage also applies here: "not all that glitters is gold." Clear proof is, for example, the somewhat worse battery life, with Apple promising up to 18 hours. It's not really the best. Sleep tracking isn't exactly twice as good either.

Adam Kos Sleep monitoring is a feature that is relatively new to the Apple Watch. For some reason, Apple waited until 2020 for its arrival, when it was introduced as part of the watchOS 7 operating system. This alone raises doubts. However, we will probably never know why we waited so long for the feature. On the other hand, it is appropriate that this property is at a truly top level. After all, it can be somewhat expected - if Apple waited so long with the function, then the idea is offered that it tried to bring it only in its best possible form. Unfortunately, the opposite is true and in reality it looks a little different. It seems to many users that due to the lack of news, the native sleep measurement has been completed in a hurry.
The initial enthusiasm was replaced by disappointment
As we mentioned above, we had to wait some Friday for the native sleep measurement. After all, this is exactly why it is completely understandable that Apple users were very happy about the news and were looking forward to the watchOS 7 operating system becoming available to the public. But the initial enthusiasm was suddenly replaced by disappointment. With the help of the native Sleep function, we can set a schedule for waking up and going to sleep, monitor various data and sleep trends, but in general the functionality is quite cumbersome. In most cases, it therefore happens that if you fall asleep during the day, for example, the watch does not record sleep. The same also applies if, for example, you wake up early in the morning, you are active for a while and then you go to sleep again - your next sleep will no longer be counted. Everything works somehow erratically and strangely.
For this reason, apple users who are interested in monitoring their sleep data have found a relatively more effective solution. Of course, the App Store offers several relevant apps for sleep tracking, but many of them ask for a monthly subscription, although they try to be free. The program managed to gain relatively great popularity AutoSleep Track Sleep on Watch. This application costs CZK 129 and you only need to purchase it once. As for their capabilities, it can faithfully track sleep, inform you about its efficiency and phases, heart rate, breathing and many others.
Closing sleep rings
The developers of this application have also copied the rather successful feature of the Apple Watch, when we have to close the circles to complete the activity. At the same time, this method motivates the user to proceed with the vision of various rewards in the form of badges. AutoSleep bets on something similar. With this application, the theoretical goal is to close a total of 4 circles every night - sleep, deep sleep, heart rate, quality - which are supposed to determine a kind of overall quality of the given sleep. But there are many more great functions. The app can even measure the time it takes you to fall asleep, and it also gives recommendations every day to prevent a sleep deficit.
Why doesn't Apple get inspired?
But let's go back to the native solution. In the end, it's quite a shame that Apple didn't win more with the function and didn't bring it in a significantly better quality, thanks to which it would be able to playfully shove all the individual applications from the App Store, which in the vast majority of cases are paid, into your pocket. If he could trump them like this, he would be more or less assured of attention and popularity. Unfortunately, we are not so lucky and have to be satisfied with what Apple has given us, or bet on the competition. On the other hand, there is still hope for improvement. In theory, it is therefore possible that the apple company will finally learn from its mistakes and bring drastic changes within watchOS 9, which we will all welcome with open arms. We don't know if that will actually happen, but in any case, the presentation of the new systems will take place already next month.

I personally find the control when waking up to be incredible. In my opinion, it is completely incomprehensible that I have to hit the display with my finger to snooze the alarm, while pressing any button cancels the alarm. Waking up via AW is great, I don't wake up my wife, but I have to set 3 alarms because I regularly click some button while half asleep.
I don't really understand smart watches. I don't know how I slept without a watch, the function measurement is unbelievable and to charge a watch for 14000 every day...
