Does this watch track your sleep? Your steps? I've been looking at this watch vs. the Polar M400

Hello. It does track your steps but it will not track your sleep patterns at this time. I hope this answers your question.Kind Regards,~Team PAPAGO!

No, I don't think it tracks your sleep, as a matter of fact, pick something else. It is confusing to use and not very user friendly.

No, this watch does not track your sleep or your steps. It a GPS, very accurate, track miles walked, miles run, and miles biked. Many other things as well. Good piece of equipment.

This was a gift for someone who doesn't live with m. I know he is happy with the watch and its features. I don't think it has a snooze, but I'm not sure.

Yes, Grammy, Macs work fine with a free download of a very nice app called Argus. This tracks most things either due to the watch being on you or other information you give it. Print out the manual and read it carefully to get the best benefit. My wife and I like them better than some other similar efforts, because you've got the current time on you always, and you can see how much you slept last night, distance in miles (or km) traveled today, calories you have burned today, and your total number of steps. All this info is daily shared with Argus on your computer, Ipad, or Iphone, via bluetooth syncing. Playing tennis a lot this summer, I could start the Argus "tennis tracker," keep it in my pocket for three hours, and see just how far I'd traveled and calories burned. It can all be quickly charted. I know of no other device which gives you so much immediate feedback. Good luck in all your movement -- use it or lose it! Do not take it into the water or shower with you, because it's water protection is scant at best, as I saw when I changed my battery this month after having it for 9 months. Enjoy, Kevin Wulff, Cincinnati.

Honestly, I returned my Striiv because it was too difficult to use. I bought a FitBit which I use every day. It coordinates with MyFitnessPal eating and exercising program, sends me activity for the past week so I can compare. I love my FitBit but cannot help you with the Striiv.

The sensor monitors your running cadence and stride length, but not your steps. The v800 watch counts the steps.

Short answer: yes. It tracks your daily miles and there is an option to start tracking a "workout". It works like a stopwatch. You have to go through some menu functions to get to it but it doesn't take very long. You press the lower right button and the timer goes off. As you work out, you can check your HR, see how many calories you have currently lost, and the distance in miles and steps. You can even pause it for those bathroom breaks or extended water breaks and then press the lower right button to restart the workout. It won't save it so if you have another work out it will over ride it. It's quick and easy without complications of setting anything other than pressing a button to start tracking. I love this watch. Unfortunately, one downfall I started to notice was the clasp that kept the darn thing on your wrist became distrustful. First couple months were without issue and then I noticed after daily wear and removal, the clasp would easily unclasp and my watch would fly across the room or drop to the floor. Some causes were during aggressive movement as in a weight lifting workout or a run, but even during non aggressive movement (walking, dishes, picking things up) it would come off. So, with that said, I lost my favorite watch two weeks ago :-( be weary but don't lit hinder you. I would maybe buy another band and switch it every so often. I hope this helps some how...

I extensively tested wearable trackers both on the wrist and below the waist. Worn on the wrist I consistently lost 1000 to 2000 steps daily. So if you fall short of your goal, you may have actually hit it.

Mine does count steps.. isn't that what a pedometer does. ? Haha or at least I assumed that was my steps it's counting ! lol.. I basically needed the watch for the heart rate monitor. Really all I can comment on is how accurate and good it is for that! :)

Not sure. But I can tell you I would DEFINiTELY NOT recommend this watch to ANYONE. This is my third Garmin, and the other two worked fine - this model has some major defects that I don't think Garmin wants to acknowledge. I"m looking at Polar or Nike or anything else but Garmin for my next GPS.

Only if you wear the breast strap, which would be rather uncomfortable. I have the Basis now, which does that, but is not very good at measuring calorie consumption during activity. In any case, calorie count during sleep is rather uninteresting - the Basis shows I burned some 500 cal between midnight and 6:30 am and I would bet that this is within 10% of what it shows any other day, even after a hard workout when the actual consumption is higher. If you look for calorie count, I'd go with a Polar for workout and a Fitbit or similar with MyfitnessPal for the rest.

The Zip does not track sleep, but on the other hand displays you step count. I originally used zip, but I lost it. I think it is easy to loose. Now I use Flex and I think I prefer it.

You need to be more specific with your questions. Your best bet is to find and download the user's manual. It will give you specific instructions. However, I wouldn't recommend this watch - at least not based on my experience. Its performance (as a heart monitor) is inconsistent - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

All I can say is that I wore both the New Balance watch and my Polar watch and oh boy...what a major difference in calorie calculations. I trust my polar watch because when I work out at the gym my Polar watch matches calories burned on the machine I am using but the New Balance watch was way off by 150+ calories...You decide! I wouldn't purchase it over a Polar watch but another suggestion is the New Fitbit....awesome fitness trainer device!!

Same as below, adjust the sensitivity in the set up process. It is not perfect, running on the treadmill with my watch hand holding my hair off my neck and it missed counting steps. Pretty accurate though!

It does not track or calculate metabolism. It does how evever track. Steps take, calories burned, distance walked. I use it in conjunction with an app caller argus this gives me the best results over the stands life track fit. I do however recommend you spend the extra $20.00 or $30.00 fort the 410 model which tracks your sleep and does a better job at tracking movement.

For me it personally does. I really dig it, it doesn't cause me anxiety when I get up. I really like it. I know you didn't ask but, the sleep tracking function is also very nice as well.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.
