I've been thinking about buying a cheap Apple watch just as a sleep tracker.

Do you already sleep with a wrist watch on? I got one for the same and realized I can't stand sleeping with something on my wrist. Also realized if I want to use it for anything else throughout the day, that's the best time for me to charge it.

Sleep tracking was important for me too, but I've solved that by having whoop (it was a gift, though). It's tracking that stuff nicely, and I only have to charge it once in 1-2 weeks.

You're probably better off with a cheap Garmin for that. The battery will last a month instead of a day. (Or multiple months if you only wear it at night and turn it off every morning)

That would be a reasonable answer most of the time, but as the topic was sleep tracking I'd disagree. Consensus I've seen seems to be that Apple has better sleep tracking (having used both, I would agree). Even if they don't, one can swap out to use another sleep tracking app. I think you're stuck with what you get out of the box with Garmin. (Though I've not looked at Garmin's app store. Knowing what I do about their SDK, I doubt a 3rd party could write a usable replacement app.)

		I find that Apple sleep tracking concentrates on how early you go to sleep and how many times you get up. I haven’t tried anything else, but the Apple thing doesn’t tell me what I don’t already know. Any suggestions for something basic, BPM and simple alarms ant timers? About to ditch my Ultra S3.

Apple watch starts at $250, Fitbit does sleep tracking too and starts at $70.
