Sleep tracking

[stopa10]

I am about to buy a Zenwatch, and was wondering whether any of you has tried sleep tracking. I know that "Sleep as Android" supports Android Wear. How does it work with the Zenwatch?

It works OK but doesn't half chew through the battery - around 10% per hour.

I just installed and setup 'Sleep as Android' to test out with my zenwatch tonight. I'll note the battery percentages and such before and after... I am interested to see what it states...

BEFORE:
So i got a 93% charge on my watch prior to going to bed, plugged my phone in and placed it on the bed as well... once i got in bed i put my zenwatch into theater mode to conserve battery.

AFTER:
Six hours later i woke up and had about 36% battery life... so the sleep as android app kills some battery... but at the same time it also provides alot of cool data...

I will probably continue to charge my phone before bed and see how i can try to improve my sleep patterns, but probably wont mess with it again after that...

its a shame it uses soo much battery...

Odd it drains so much. I use the same app all week. Typically go to bed with battery at 60% or so and wake up with 35-40% and that's on always on turned off not in theatre mode.

I've only used it with Sleep once since I got the watch earlier this week. I had just over 50% battery when I woke up 8hrs later.

I hear that the same app drains much less on the Moto360 and SW3. So it might be only a matter of time...

Reports are that it drains just as much as the moto 360 due to both of them not supporting sensor batching, or so i've been told by the sleep as android dev (who's advice for using the watch for SaA alarm but not sleep tracking was to turn on BT when I start sleeping then turn it back on )

I use sleep as android every night, and it does drain my battery, but my battery seems to run down a lot anyway, I have to charge it at least twice a day. And the app works with the watch perfectly!
