@@sarvove were you using the watch variant or the phone app? bc the watch uses an accelerometer which tracks your movements. Maybe you move an abnormal amount in your sleep?
Excellent analysis. I wonder if you are able to provide an update for this year as to whether the app made any improvements to its algorithm or it’s just the same. If you are also able to shed any further analysis on sleep apnea functions of these apps that would be extremely helpful and appreciated
Just imagine being as happy as this guy is. Truly a blessing to love what you do for a living. World would be a much better place if everyone found that. Most people are miserable and hate their job from what I've gathered especially those in this field.

Thanks, I love these videos. Can('t) (wait until) you test 'AutoSleep" app for Apple watch. They Are the only ones who have a respectable privacy policy (your data is your data only), and they also have export tools. edit: I should have waited until the end :)
I also have a scientific background and I’m just amazed at the quality of this video. This was done with better methods than many scientific articles! And a discussion about limitations and future avenues at the end?!? A-MA-ZING!
Battery life was a big issue for me before I bought one as well. It’s definitely a lot less than (for example) Versa, but it’s not as bad as a lot of reviews would have you think. I have a series 5 and routinely wear it all day and all night before it needs a charge. Versa got a lot more, but didn’t offer anywhere near as much functionality. Of course, I do tend to be a “senseless Apple follower” (as opposed to...?). I like well designed, reliable hardware and software that doesn’t constantly need fixing and comes from a company that pays at least a little attention to my privacy and I’m willing to pay for it, so take my opinions for the uneducated and useless waste of bandwidth they obviously are.
Pretty interesting results ! Would it be possible that you test the "Sleep as Android" App in the future ? Not sure if this app is compatible with the apple Watch though.
I don’t know, I feel like you’re being a little generous to Apple. Considering the hardware in the watch they should easily be able to track sleep cycles comparable to Oura rings. Yet Apple’s data that they give us is extremely vague and in my opinion not that accurate based on your test here. It’d be interesting if you did the same test but with the new Oura Ring 3 instead of an Apple Watch. Or maybe even throw in an Apple Watch 7 to compare both of them to actual scientific equipment. Since one goes on the wrist and one goes on the finger they shouldn’t interfere. Otherwise great video man.
You should test the native sleep tracking on apple watch as well. Maybe another idea for a future video is testing to see if the smart alarm actually wakes you up during light sleep and not rem sleep
Thanks for taking the time to do thorough reviews with in depth data analysis about these products. Super helpful! Now all we need is for *you* to develop an app for the Apple Watch that actually works (hint hint).
Thanks for this! Finally some proper scientific approach to this topic, you earned a sub :) It would be great to see a comparison video where you talk about the pro's and con's of sleep cycle and other similar apps!
What do you recommend as the best overall fitness tracker? Apple Watch SE, Garmin Venu, Fitbit Sense/ Versa 2or3 or another? I am interested in sleep, steps, heart rate, stress management. Thanks
Would you be interested in comparing the Sleep as Android app on Android as well? It's well regarded to be very accurate and featureful, I'm currently using it, but having a professional opinion would be interesting.
As someone else has stated could you please carry out a test with "sleep as android". They've been around since 2010. That would be really interesting. Keep up the awesome video's A+++
I have apple now but I can say for certainty that the Samsung watch 4 is the BEST sleep tracker between the two! It lets you know how much light sleep, REM sleep and deep! It’s amazing.
I have apple now but I can say for certainty that the Samsung watch 4 is the BEST sleep tracker between the two! It lets you know how much light sleep, REM sleep and deep! It’s amazing.
I’ve watched your review of Apple Watch 6 and the Sleep Cycle App as well as your review of the Oura Ring 2. In your opinion is the Apple Watch as good as the Oura Ring for sleep? Do you feel it would be overkill to use both?
Hey Rob, I am hoping you would revisit the experiment with sleep cycle app but without an apple watch connected, just purely from the phone's sensor. Been using the app for a year and would love to see if the readings are anywhere near accurate. Thanks!
If he will do it and it’s accurate ill buy the app. Only reason i haven’t bought it is that im not sure how accurate it is. Edit: says in the video he will :)
@@DuduTheDoraAmon Hi! Well, I code in R, but that is very specific to certain tasks. I guess I would recommend python as a good language to start, since it is more multi-purpose and easy enough to get you writing code relatively fast. However, it of course always takes some time to get started ;-)
I was hoping to see if the total sleep time matches the eeg device. I have a Watch 10 who says I was asleep for almost 2hrs longer than the sleep cycle app. A comparison video would be great!
I've been using sleep cycle for over 7 years now and I would like to see a comparison between the watch and phone app. Typically on the watch app, I rarely have a score below 60, even if I had a night with a lot of interrupted sleep because my daughter woke me up whereas with the phone app, I have score below 50 after nights were I didn't sleep well and feel really tired in the morning
I don't have an some watch but i use the sleep cycle app on my android phone, any content about that? Also the app doesn't use the accelerometer anymore, it's only based on microphone, listening to your breathing, bed movements, and snoring
@@JoaoRSilva. i think its great, it used to be better years ago when it was based on accelerometer measurements with your phone in the corner of your mattress. But some stupid people buried it under the bedding and pillows so some phones overheated/set fires. Because of that the app now uses the microphone to guess movement. With that said, after a few weeks of nightly use it does very accurately track your movements and records embarrassing clips of snoring to listen to in the morning. It's not amazing for couples though, good for solo sleepers. It's also invaluable for tracking long term patters over a multi-year period. Has been fun to see how my bedtimes have shifted since covid.
I've bought the watch fit because I've seen the video on the heart rate accuracy of the Watch fit. From my experience with the Watch fit I can tell you that the sleep monitoring function is not accurate at all, but overall it's very good budget watch, I bought it for 73 usd on discount
Hi Jimmy! Yes, for now I plan to test the Garmin Venu Sq, since this one is inside my budget. The main issue I have for now is that all these wearables cost quite some money, and I have to make decisions about which ones to purchase. I hope to test more high-end Garmin watches in the future too. Have a great day!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist curious how this comes out. I use the microphone mode. I have more than 4 years worth of data in Sleep Cycle now. Might be closer to 6 or 7, but definitely more than 4. I’d have to look later.
Thank you so much Antonio! One step at a time 😊. When I actively started working on my channel about 9 months ago I had about 150 subscribers, and I am already so happy that so many people enjoy my videos enough to spend their valuable time watching things I create. I still quite often get that imposter syndrome feeling, where I think "why on earth would people take my advice?". That being said, I am super happy with all the positive comments and feedback I get. I would never have though I could even get to 1000 subscribers, let alone the 10.000 kind people that follow my channel now. Have a great day!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist It's just a matter of time until TH-cam's algorithm picks you up. It's all about consistent uploads and a good like to dislike ratio. I've seen channels upload weekly for a year with 100-1000 views per video, then suddenly explode into millions of views. This channel has potential not gonna lie. You dutch btw? Your accent sounds dutch lol. But you said you live in Vienna/Austria.
Thanks for the great videos! I bought an oura Ring 4 months ago and now (because I just needed a watch) bought an Apple Watch aswell. Do you think the Apple Watch does a better job when it comes to precise sleep & activity data? Thinking about sticking to only one device. I have the feeling that aw does a pretty great job also with extra apps and I don’t mind wearing it at night. Thanks man!
Hi Dominik! Not sure if I feel I have enough data to support one device over the other. I think both track awake time, sleep onset and total time asleep quite well, and those are definitely the most important parts of your sleep. The Oura ring has the benefit of giving you all sorts of actionable scores, the Apple Watch has the benefit of being a full-fledges fitness tracker including accurate heart rate. Those are my first thoughts :-)
Firat of all, thanks for well detailed and informative videos. I like to ask if you also plan to make benchmark regarding smart scales, like Fitbit Aria, Whitings, Tanita etc.
This is a great video. Can you also test the Sleep Cycle Apple Watch app to see if it is as accurate? I am assuming your testing only used the Sleep Cycle app which detects motion through the microphone. The Apple Watch app will not be using the microphone.
its been 3 years since you did the app review... could you do a new review based on the latest version and technology from apple watch 9 series and iphone 15 to see how this app preform today ?
Little tip, if you have Premium version of the app, you can actually go to s.sleepcycle.com and view the raw data and download them from there :) It’s a bit old looking website and I don’t think they work on it still, but it might be more helpful to view the data that way! :)
Thanks for your video, it really helped me ! I have a question: do we need to let bluethoot on during the all night ? If we turn it off, will the app still work ? Thanks :)
Hi Eloisa! It will probably take at least a few weeks, I have some other videos scheduled first. Sorry, but I can only make one video per week, as I do this in addition to my normal research.
Thank you for this. I use Sleep Cycle for a long time, and it helps me a lot. However could not make it work in my Apple Watch. Liked the way you extracted the values of the chart.
How can I even active this on my Apple Watch? Or do I just have to set up the alarm on the watch instead of the phone? I am wearing my watch in bed but have the feeling that sleep is tracked via my phone 🤔
It feels to me like there is a misunderstanding here: I assume that the SleepCycle team uses "light sleep" in a broader sense, including REM sleep. If the app wakes you app when in REM, it would according to them be a good outcome. According to you it would be a bad outcome because you understand their promise to wake you up in "light sleep" as meaning "light" (!= "REM"). From what I understand, the goal of the app is to prevent your alarm from going of in deep sleep because that would make you groggy in the morning - or so goes the assumption of this. I don't know what the current state of scientific consensus is regarding best wake up time in the cycle, though. If you do know, I would love to hear from you!
I am selecting apple watch app. For track sleep I am selecting between sleep cycle/pillow/auto sleep Any recommendations??? For the premium price is around 15-30 usd. It almost the same for me
Would be so cool if you could test and review Oura Ring sleep tracker🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Been using it for months but after watching some of your videos I question all my devices😂
Do you have a website where all this information is located? I'm looking for the best watch for health tracking (most accurate), do you have any recommendations?
Hi, interesant thx. Please try comparison about sleep app original watch os9 with sleep cycle with watch not from phone. I thinking now original app from apple is better. What you thing?
I downloaded this app on my iPhone and have a Premium account plus wearing an Apple Watch during the night. However, I dont understand where to turn on sleep tracking via my watch and not my phone?! I have the feeling, despite my watch (where I set the sleep cycle alarm) my sleep is tracked via the accelerometer of my phone. How can I use my watch for tracking?
Hey Rob - great review! I don't have an Apple Watch, but I do use the phone Sleep Cycle app. Will there be a review coming up for smartphone microphone enabled Sleep Cycle? Thanks! (I would imagine most people take their apple watch off at night too to recharge, but could be wrong).
Thanks for your tests. I think that can be very interesting do the heart rate test with a smartwatch of polar and other of coros. Do you think that this can be possible?
I have sleep apnea. So my machine does some but I'm struggling w the right pressure. Also moisture builds up in there n makes it side off over my chin or I think that's what it is. I just got it back from a recall n really having a time.
I've tried the app on my Galaxy Watch 4 to compare against Samsung Health. 6 out of 7 nights I go into deep sleep at midnight and stay there. I launch it from my phone which may be causing it to not use the watch.
Has he released the Sleepwatch video ? I have been using it for about 8 months I think overall is good but sometimes I think I overstates my light sleep
That rare moment you find a TH-cam video review that is based on actual tests …thank you!
It feels like I found a true gem on TH-cam. Your channel is such a delight. Keep up the cool and geeky work! It is much appreciated. 🙏

Muse S, EEG, PPG, accelerometer, gyroscope head band proclaims sleep diagnostics superior to others. Test, test, test?
I have used Sleep Cycle for over five years and can confirm it frequently wakes me during REM sleep...
Where is the video to sleepwatch app review?
Would be so cool if you could test and review Oura Ring sleep tracker🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Been using it for months but after watching some of your videos I question all my devices😂
Do you have a website where all this information is located?
I'm looking for the best watch for health tracking (most accurate), do you have any recommendations?
Hi, interesant thx.
Please try comparison about sleep app original watch os9 with sleep cycle with watch not from phone.
I thinking now original app from apple is better. What you thing?
Great video, amazing channel! Did u end up reviewing sleepwatch app by bodymatter?
Very awesome video. Decent job in researching and interpreting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your review Rob!
I downloaded this app on my iPhone and have a Premium account plus wearing an Apple Watch during the night. However, I dont understand where to turn on sleep tracking via my watch and not my phone?! I have the feeling, despite my watch (where I set the sleep cycle alarm) my sleep is tracked via the accelerometer of my phone. How can I use my watch for tracking?
Could you do justthe accuracy analysis also with the Amazfit Band 5 (or alternately mi Band 5) please?
Hey Rob - great review! I don't have an Apple Watch, but I do use the phone Sleep Cycle app. Will there be a review coming up for smartphone microphone enabled Sleep Cycle? Thanks! (I would imagine most people take their apple watch off at night too to recharge, but could be wrong).
How many steps a day is healthy by age?
Thanks for your tests. I think that can be very interesting do the heart rate test with a smartwatch of polar and other of coros. Do you think that this can be possible?
Hi Abel! I am actually testing the Polar Vantage M at the moment :-) . Have a great day!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist ohh, very good, thanks
I have sleep apnea. So my machine does some but I'm struggling w the right pressure. Also moisture builds up in there n makes it side off over my chin or I think that's what it is. I just got it back from a recall n really having a time.
I've tried the app on my Galaxy Watch 4 to compare against Samsung Health. 6 out of 7 nights I go into deep sleep at midnight and stay there. I launch it from my phone which may be causing it to not use the watch.
Has he released the Sleepwatch video ? I have been using it for about 8 months I think overall is good but sometimes I think I overstates my light sleep
Nice review! Couldn’t find the Sleep Watch App review video tho.
