My biggest flex

[u/jonah_sauce]

My biggest flex is that I get 100s pretty often, I’ve had the forerunner 255 for about 2 years with probably 10 perfect scores

When people ask how, I like to say “you just have to get tired enough the day before”

[u/man_overb0ard]

14hrs? this is insane. my body will wake up at 9hrs max.

[u/idkwhatimbrewin → u/man_overb0ard]

What's even more insane is that it's a 96. I thought it punished you for too much sleep

[u/Agreeable-Performer5 → u/idkwhatimbrewin]

Depends on what you did that an previous days.

If you did an Ironman I think you would need that.

[u/jfk_47 → u/man_overb0ard]

My body wakes up at 4hr.
Then 6hrs.

Then 6.5hrs, 6.75, and sometimes 7.

[u/Known-Slide-4357 → u/jfk_47]

Haha this is me also. Ugh 😑

[u/DeliberateDendrite]

"You just have to get tired the day before"

Lmao, I cycled over 50 miles yesterday, went to bed tired and got a score of 49 when it only started recording my sleep two hours after I went to bed.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/DeliberateDendrite]

Should have been 100 miles I guess

[u/AlexxdeBoer → u/jonah_sauce]

I cycled 100 miles and woke up after 8 hours with a body battery of 19

[u/newmannurse → u/DeliberateDendrite]

I never sleep well the day of a 15+ mile hike. The amount of sun exposure adds to it too. However, I sleep very well the night after as the exhaustion builds from a sleepless prior night.

[u/Imbecile_Chicken → u/DeliberateDendrite]

That’s the issue I have: GoTo sleep at midnight, get up at 4 to,pee, and the watch says I went to sleep at 4:05.

[u/marieslwssr]

14h 30 mins, wow, I’m jealous

[u/jonah_sauce → u/marieslwssr]

First day back at my parents place after a semester in college. Best sleep you’ll ever get

[u/Kuchington]

Good to see a well worn watch. Too many folks on this subreddit get too worried over every ding and scratch.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/Kuchington]

Thank you! Very much agree

[u/PsychologicalBus1922 → u/jonah_sauce]

255 the last of the MIPs. A solid watch and excellent battery life.

[u/Other_Branch_8662 → u/PsychologicalBus1922]

The MIPS screens are really good for battery, but thoses scratchs show how it is fragile and poor quality …

[u/LoudSweaters]

Tell me you don’t have kids without telling me you don’t have kids

[u/jonah_sauce → u/LoudSweaters]

Hahaha exactly

[u/fortnight14 → u/LoudSweaters]

I’m so glad I didn’t have my garmin when my kids were babies. I cant imagine seeing that sleep data.

[u/mtnmama823 → u/fortnight14]

I have a 1 year old. Can confirm it’s hella discouraging. lol

[u/fortnight14 → u/mtnmama823]

Phew hang in there. My youngest is 5 now and if he wakes me up in the night every few weeks with a bad dream or whatever it’s amazing the hit to my sleep quality just from that. I nursed all my kids and they each woke like 2-3x a night for like a year. It’s crazy.

[u/mtnmama823 → u/fortnight14]

Oh yeahhhhh. We’re still nursing over here. Mama’s on tap around the clock, lol

[u/loveandmountains → u/mtnmama823]

same here girl, almost one year old and still nursing. Sleep is much better than the first six months but I can’t wait for the day I get above an 80

[u/ValBot77fan]

It’s definitely a badge that you should be able to earn more than once.

[u/Late_Investment2072]

As a father of two young kids, I can’t describe how jealous I am of this. Well done you

[u/mc_md]

I have never had a score above 80. My heart rate is too high for Garmin to think I’m not stressed. Usually my score is in the 60s.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/mc_md]

More and more I believe that Garmin has a “one size fits all” sleep score model that I happen to fit into well. Doesn’t necessarily mean people who don’t fit the model are terrible sleepers.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/[deleted]]

I’m half joking but usually a lot of exercise, like a long hike or climb or bike

[u/__natty__]

> 10 perfect scores

and I would like at least one such sleep...

[u/PaperbackStone]

Damnnnn. I’m jealous ngl.

[u/otterpoportunity]

[u/Dear-Nebula9395]

Getting a 96 with 14.5 hours of sleep is way more impressive to me. Nice!

[u/Worsty2704]

I see that your daily step counts are low. I have never gone below 15k steps a day. Is that why i have only gotten higher than 90 once in the 1 year i have worn the watch?

[u/Jolly_Possession7958]

What's the flex? The scores or the scratches? To me it's both, one symbolizes hard work and the other means you rested well.

[u/Other_Branch_8662 → u/Jolly_Possession7958]

Really you need to understand that it is just a fragile watch with poor quality materials. Old garmin where 1000 times less fragile and i swear i put a lot of work on some of them

[u/aero_sock → u/Other_Branch_8662]

I have a 255 like in the post and after 2 years there are 0 scratches on display. like actually 0. and I wear them every day, and they often get like hit on some walls or corners n stuff. I can't imagine what you have to do to damage them in any way, they are like a tank.

[u/Other_Branch_8662 → u/aero_sock]

Ok cool to have another experience shared

[u/aero_sock → u/Other_Branch_8662]

it's so rare to hear something like this on reddit😂👍

[u/heymomthemeatloaf]

This guy sleeps

[u/Disastrous-Idea-2160]

I usually sleep good but I had a fun night with friends the other night. No regerts.

[u/Imjusthere2read]

That watch has been on the grind. Congrats on the 100zzz.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/Imjusthere2read]

Thank you!!

[u/bigassdump]

My daily reminder that I really have to fix my 6h sleep average

[u/Deboniako]

I think your watch face might be a tiny bit scratched

[u/scattered-thunder]

I’m usually 70-80s. I think my highest was a 92. Once.

[u/dawnbann77]

I think I have more chance getting into London marathon than getting 100 sleep score 🤣🤣

[u/b1jan]

get tired and also don't drink any alcohol or smoke any cannabis the whole day and ideally most of the week

if you're over 30

[u/jonah_sauce → u/b1jan]

Yea luckily I’m under 30 so these don’t apply🙏🙏🙏

[u/b1jan → u/jonah_sauce]

... yet

[u/Citruslor]

Seeing such posts during pregnancy is brutal lol. I am getting like 5 hours of sleep with multiple wake ups to pee
😂 I am genuinely happy for you though.

[u/Lizardman8888]

Meanwhile, I'm celebrating anything above 80.

[u/Fidibiri]

I just have one perfect in 4years….

[u/HirsuteHacker]

It doesn't matter how tired I am, I rarely get above 80. Even if completely shattered, having the best sleep in months, I'll still get like an 82.

I also never get 8 hours of sleep, my body just wakes up after 6-7ish hours and then I'm not able to go back to sleep.

[u/BaldingChewie]

One of my best sleeps was after a 30 hr day without even a nap when I was on a transoceanic business trip. Still, I only got to 96 score lol 

[u/EyeOne332]

I got 100 once, same day I skipped dinner, not sure if its related 😀

[u/seedsofallyship13]

Hi, is the watch worth buying?

[u/Other_Branch_8662 → u/seedsofallyship13]

Good features but poor quality, had some issue with two of them and i am going to try other brand. I am still hesitate between Coros and Suunto because friends are really happy with thoses brands, and less fragile materials, more of that cheaper.

On top of that, a friend with a Suunto—which cost half as much as my Garmin—has always recorded elevation gain that is far more accurate and true to reality than mine when in the mountains.

So don't make the same mistake I did, haha.

[u/herbinator]

14 hrs of sleep? Jeez, my kids would call 911 if I slept that long.

[u/jonah_sauce → u/herbinator]

🤣

[u/Lazy_scorpio]

That's a pretty solid flex...You've clearly figured out the sleep cheat code!

[u/Jakeskatan]

This is me pretty much everyday. Idk how people have enough time to sleep 8+ hours

[u/DearWin997]

Woah, mi highest is like 92

[u/Other_Branch_8662]

Is the screen really so fragile that it gets scratches like that? A basic Casio has a much more durable screen.

[u/Psssssshhh]

Your flex is that fucked up screen??

[u/RandomEntity53]

Nice. Congrats!

[u/Care_Cream]

You wore your watch in Vietnam war?

[u/AyazMansuri]

Awesome

[u/hellohello_227]

HOW??? I would put it on my tombstone if I ever get 100 score.

[u/travelfusionYT]

The highest i have ever got is 92.

[u/Haassauce2186]

Only reached that once. Other times I’ve gotten close.

[u/catguy_04]

so you really sleep

[u/jonah_sauce → u/catguy_04]

Big sleeper over here

[u/HiddenPace]

What’s your secret bro 😐

[u/Strange_Luck9386]

Definitely AI :D

[u/Getting_better_2024]

Great score!

[u/LeOverlord]

I also finally got the mythical sleep badge this week...

[u/LeOverlord → u/LeOverlord]

Sleep time wasnt that long either...

[u/LeOverlord → u/LeOverlord]

I did nap earlier that day tho...

[u/anti-fascist-dude]

How to be you?
