The Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Reveals My Sleep Pattern

 

I know, I know – I should be using an Oura Ring or some other system for tracking my sleep patterns, but the fact of the matter is tha t I don’t have the ring at this time, and I’m committing myself to the Garmin Ecosystem for now.

The Garmin Fenix 6X Pro is a watch with NIRS technology on it’s underbody. This is used to measure motion, Oxygen Saturation levels, pulse, and more. I quit wearing watches about 20 years ago, but returned to wearing one when I saw the features of the Fenix. The Fenix also pairs to my chest straps, and can track respiratory frequency during exercise, and more accurately at night, if I choose to wear the strap.

Here’s the video preview of today’s ride. I’ll chime in again when I’m done.
