From what I understand, the watch is recording the data it normally collects and saving it to the Health app, and the sleep apps are just reading it from Health.
My wife is using Pillow and AutoSleep, and she notices they both interpret the data a little differently.
thank you. but from health app, if you look under "show all data" of sleep analysis, it recalls autoslepp. I don't think apple what OS itself records sleep data if you don't have any 3rd party app. contrary to what happens for heart rate, where all 3rd party apps takes data FROM the apple watch sensors.
I mean, if you use 3rd party app for heartrate (e.g. heartwatch in my case) the data are the same of the ones collected by the default app of the watch.
On the contrary, sleep tracking may differ between apps and the app itself can give different results according to different settings (for autosleep you can set the kind of sleeper you are, normal, lot of movement, static etc...). So, i think the health data TAKES data from different apps, but how can choose between apps which one is the most valuable?
maybe tonight i'll try with different apps one..
i hope my concerns are well explained
[doublepost=1540548919][/doublepost]ah, of course the data relevant to heart rate are the same, and you already mentioned that apps interpret the sleeping data differently. my concerns is relevant to the fact that in health app you can select "sleep analysis" that shows sleep time and time spent in bed.
in my case these data are the same of autosleep (of course, they are taken from it), but what if you use two apps that interpret the data differently? which one of the two data source is chosen to be shown in health app?
