The HR recording was perfect but I discovered that my resting heart rate is about 10 BPM lower when awake and annoyingly it would record the sleep value as my lowest of the day when it never was. I really like the wrist mounted HR recording and have had a few days of 30 BPM being the RHR but have not equalled my previous lowest seen of 28 with a chest strap.

I always suspected that I slept very little and the watch has showed how little that is. I find that and the stress monitoring quite interesting.

Personally, routine works for me, a bit dull, but if I stick to a regular getting up time (6.00am) I have to pop myself in bed early enough.

I had to put mine into sleep mode when I went to bed and got up if not it took my default times I used to own a fitbit (loved the vibrate alarm very useful for hard of hearing like me)
