Vratislav Holub Apple watches have been very popular since their launch, and many users can no longer imagine life without them. In its popularity, it mainly benefits from the health functions, where it can, for example, automatically detect a fall, measure the heart rate or perform an ECG, and from the connection with the Apple ecosystem. But they are still missing one function. The Apple Watch cannot monitor its user's sleep - at least for now.

A little while ago, on the occasion of the opening Keynote of the WWDC 2020 conference, we saw the presentation of new operating systems, among which, of course, watchOS 7 is not missing. This version brings with it a number of innovations, led by sleep monitoring, which we will now look at together. In this regard, Apple again bets on the health of users and chooses a great holistic approach. The new function for sleep monitoring will not only show you how much time you slept, but will look at the whole issue in a much more comprehensive way. Apple watches make every effort to ensure that their user creates a regular rhythm and thus pays attention to sleep hygiene. In addition, Watchky informs you every time that you should already go to bed according to your convenience and thus teaches you extremely important regularity.

Pavel Jelic And how does the watch even recognize that you are actually sleeping? In this direction, Apple has bet on their accelerometer, which can detect any micro-movements and accordingly determine whether the user is asleep. From the collected data, we can immediately see how much time we spent in bed and how long we slept. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (a non-profit organization researching the importance of sleep), this regular rhythm is extremely important. For this reason, Apple decided to include the iPhone as well. You can set a specific time for your evening on it and you can listen to soothing music through it.

Maybe you can ask yourself one question. What will happen to the battery life, which is already relatively low? Apple Watch will, of course, automatically notify you an hour before the grocery store if the battery is low, so that you can recharge the watch if necessary, and it can also send you a notification after waking up. We will stay with the awakening itself for a while. The apple watch wakes you up with a haptic response and gentle sounds, thus ensuring a calm and pleasant awakening. All your sleep data will be automatically stored in the native Health app and encrypted in your iCloud.
The function is probably good, but if the watch is on the charger overnight, it won't be used much :-)
You probably didn't read the article. Damage
Exactly.. last about 17h .. so the function is totally useless.. :-)
So it depends... I charge the watch at work while sitting on my butt and then I don't take it off and the next day I still have 30-50% of the battery on my hand with a third-party app that "monitors" sleep all night
What are you doing with that watch? For me, the battery lasts well over 30 hours.
You're lucky :) all I need is app notifications, a couple of sms and it will last for about 17 hours. Navigation will kill them completely
I'll give it two days! AW4??
Two days with absolutely no problems!!??
Also two days of AW4
