What You'll Learn
Fossil's Wellness app
To access Fossil's Wellness app on your Fossil Sport smartwatch, simply open the app menu and tap "Wellness." From there, you can navigate to the "Sleep" section to view your sleep stats, including your last tracked sleep and your daily, weekly, and monthly sleep patterns.
To ensure that your Fossil Sport smartwatch is actively tracking your sleep, you need to enable the sleep tracking feature. Go to Settings within the Wellness app, then select Account, and finally, Tracking Preferences. Here, you can toggle the sleep tracking option on or off, depending on your preference.
The Wellness app also provides additional tracking features beyond sleep. This includes Cardio Fitness, which estimates your VO2 max (oxygen consumption) during workouts and shows your progress over time. The Blood Oxygen feature measures your SpO2 levels, which is the percentage of oxygen in your blood. Your Fossil smartwatch can automatically track SpO2 levels while you sleep, providing valuable insights into your overall health. Furthermore, the Heart Rate feature offers a live reading of your heart rate, and you can customize how your smartwatch tracks these metrics through the Wellness app settings.
