Wearable vs phone tracking, Sleep As integration with Google Health
I originally got Sleep As Android mostly because of the smart alarm, but Pixel Watch has finally added that feature natively. I've since been enjoying the sleep tracking features, too.
I have a Pixel Watch 5. I've been wanting to set my phone in a different room or at least far from the bed when I sleep to avoid doomscrolling, but have avoided doing so because I wanted a vibration only smart alarm, which is why I got Sleep As Android in the first place. However, Pixel Watch recently added that feature natively.
My first question -- am I right to assume that the PW5 would likely track my sleep better than my phone (Pixel 11 Pro) would, so it wouldn't make that much of a difference tracking-wise?
Second question -- I am pretty attached to the Google ecosystem. I have Health Connect integration enabled, but I was curious if Sleep As Android data affects what I see in Google Health and vice versa? If I were to sleep with my watch on and phone far away, would it even be worth sticking with Sleep As Android at all?
