Versa 2 Sleep Tracking: How Does It Work?

The Fitbit Versa 2 is a smartwatch with advanced sleep tracking capabilities. It uses a combination of motion data, heart rate data, and sensor array and motion detection capabilities to track sleep. The watch also has a huge battery life, allowing users to wear it for almost a week without charging. The Fitbit app allows users to view their sleep data in charts and compare it with other Versa 2 users. The watch also includes a silent wake feature to gradually wake users from their sleep.

Fitbit Versa 2's sleep tracking features

The Fitbit Versa 2 is a great all-around smartwatch and one of the best wrist-based sleep trackers on the market. Its sleep tracking features include:

• A combination of motion data and heart rate data to show time spent in various sleep stages (light, deep, and REM).
• A sleep score based on the night's heart rate, restlessness, time awake, and duration of sleep.
• The ability to create sleep schedules and bedtime reminders to modify sleep behaviours and view trends in sleep scores.
• A silent wake feature to gradually wake users from sleep, and a Smart Wake feature to wake the wearer during the optimal time in the sleep cycle.
• A snore and noise detection feature that uses the device's microphone to track noise while you sleep and check for snoring throughout the night.
• Charts that show your sleep stages, the time you went to sleep, and the time you woke up, viewable over a day or 30-day average.

To ensure accurate sleep tracking, the device should be positioned higher on the wrist, about 2-3 finger widths above the wrist bone, with the band feeling secure but not too tight.
