I wear a fitbit primarily for the sleep tracker. Is there a comparable non-google device that does sleep tracking? My garmin watch is not a great replacement in that regard.

[Whoop](https://www.whoop.com/ https://www.whoop.com/) has a lot of buzz right now and offers some interesting looking sleep insight. I haven't used one myself yet so I can't speak from personal experience.

  Sleep tracking at $30/month? Are you joking? I don't think anyone moving from a Fitbit is going to be willing for that kind of $$$ commitment to track sleep!

    Not really my product to defend. It does more than sleep tracking for $30/mo, however.

I’m in the same boat. Supposedly Apple is working on native sleep tracking. Once that is the case, then I’ll switch over from Fitbit.

My Garmin Forerunner 35 does a good job of sleep tracking. And it lasts around 10 days on a charge. (without using the GPS.) What model do you have?

  I had the 235 in the past and now have the 245 music. I haven't tried it in a while but it was really poor in comparison to my fitbit.

Not sure if you have an iPhone or not, but sleep tracking with an Apple Watch is excellent. I use AutoSleep, but Sleep++ is also very solid.

My new garmin 235? has the hr monitor built into the watch body and does a pretty good job at sleep cycle tracking.

If you just want a sleep tracker I would recommend looking at Oura ring

I've been generally happy with Xiaomi Mi Band. I used a Mi Band 2 for a couple years until it died and am using a Mi Band 3 now. My biggest need was for a "silent" wakeup alarm since I get up so much earlier than my fiance. It does sleep tracking and a lot of phone features that I don't use. The two biggest wins are (1) the price, and (2) the battery life. I paid like $40 for the watch, and $20 for a better band on Amazon. The battery on my MiBand2 lasted ~month and a half. The MiBand 3 is shaping up to be much less, but still 3-4 weeks between charges.

The old Pebbles can do sleep tracking and integrate with relevant apps. The Xiaomi Mi Bands do sleep tracking as well.
