What You'll Learn
Toggle on sleep tracking in the settings
To track your sleep using the Samsung Gear Fit2, you will need to toggle on sleep tracking in the settings. This will allow you to monitor your sleep patterns and record how much sleep you are getting.
To do this, go to the settings gear on your Samsung Gear Fit2. From there, you can tap 'Connections', and then select Bluetooth. Ensure that your headset is ready for pairing by holding down the power button so that it shows up on the Fit2. Once you see the name of your headset, tap it and you will be able to pair your devices.
Now, you can open the Sleep application on your Samsung Gear Fit2. This can be found by scrolling the screen to the left or right on your Gear Fit Home screen. In the Sleep App, you will see three options: "Start" with a green half-moon icon, "Sleep-check sleep data", and a "Back" button. Before you go to sleep, click on the "Start" button to begin the timer. Once you wake up, click on the same button, which will now say "Stop", to stop recording your sleep timings.
Alternatively, you can use the Automatic mode, which will record your sleep cycles automatically without you having to click anything before or after you sleep. The Automatic mode can be accessed by scrolling to the left side of the Sleep screen and selecting the Auto mode option. This mode uses the lack of body movement for one minute to detect that you are asleep and will start the Timer.

Wear the device above your wrist
To track your sleep using the Samsung Gear Fit 2, you'll need to download the Galaxy Wearable app (previously called the Samsung Gear app) on your mobile device. You can download this from the Galaxy Store, Play Store, or App Store. Once you've downloaded the app, open it and tap 'Connections', then Bluetooth. Hold down the power button on your Gear Fit 2 until it automatically enters Bluetooth pairing mode, then pair the two devices.
Now, to ensure that your sleep tracking is accurate, it's important to wear the device correctly. The Samsung Gear Fit 2 should be worn above your wrist, on your lower arm. First, open the buckle and place the strap around your wrist. Insert the pin into an adjustment hole—make sure not to fasten it too tightly, as this may cause discomfort, especially if you have sensitive skin. Secure the buckle, being careful not to bend the strap excessively, as this may damage the device.
Wearing the device in this way will ensure that it accurately measures your sleep time and patterns by detecting periods of no body movement. The Sleep app will record your sleep cycles and allow you to access this data once you wake up.
