Garmin Launches Index Sleep Monitor Band for In-Depth Sleep Insights

Garmin has introduced the Index Sleep Monitor, a dedicated arm band designed for comfortable overnight wear and comprehensive health tracking. This new device aims to provide users with in-depth sleep insights, including breathing rate, Pulse Ox (blood oxygen saturation), and skin temperature.
It also tracks sleep stages like light, deep, and REM, along with HRV status, to generate a Sleep Score from zero to 100. The band offers features similar to Garmin’s smartwatches, such as stress tracking and Body Battery energy monitoring.
Additionally, it supports women’s health tracking, offering menstrual cycle estimations and pregnancy monitoring by leveraging skin temperature data. The Index Sleep Monitor is washer-friendly on a gentle cycle and provides up to seven nights of battery life on a single charge.
It is available for $169. 99 in S-M and L-XL sizes, aiming to offer a more comfortable alternative to bulky watches for sleep analysis.
