There’s been lots of new release in the smart and fitness orientated wearable and watch market. I am just wondering what success anyone has had monitoring sleep from the wrist based systems available. I am generally an big Garmin fan and I use Garmin connect for lots of other fitness/weight/and nut…

I do drill down into the data, because I’m a data geek, and enjoy seeing what works and what does not. My schedule…
