Garmin Index Sleep Monitor ZDNET's key takeaways The Garmin Index Sleep Monitor is available for $170 in S/M and L/XL sizes. The band is very comfortable and lightweight, the monitor tracks up to seven nights of sleep, and the sleep/recovery metrics are well integrated into the Garmin Connect ecosystem. It's still fairly expensive for a single-purpose wearable, even though FSA/HSA coverage is supported. $169.99 at Amazon $169.99 at Crutchfield more buying choices Get more in-depth ZDNET tech
