One of the popular functions of a Samsung Galaxy Watch is to help users get an optimal night’s rest. Unfortunately, an important sleep function seems to have gone completely awry, though.
Samsung Galaxy Watch Displays Strange Values
The Samsung Galaxy Watch is able to show you your sleep score. This is “to get a clearer snapshot of the previous night’s rest, followed by related metrics such as sleep stages, snoring hours, and blood oxygen levels,” as Samsung explains. Your sleep score is represented by a number between one and one hundred. The higher the number, the better rested you should be.
This function has been around for several years, but in recent days, it seems to be showing some errors. On Reddit, one user posted, “I’ve been wearing a Galaxy Watch 4/5/6/7/8 since 2022 and keeping track of sleep most of the time. I usually get a score in the 80s or sometime low 90s, and sometimes as low as 70ish. I don’t think I’ve ever cracked 93 or 94. All of a sudden, I’m getting a score of 99. […] Then the next night 99, then again 99. After that it did drop to 96 then back up to 99 last night.”

Numerous Users Affected
However, this doesn’t seem to be simply due to the person’s sudden improvement with their sleep, nor does it seem like an isolated case. Several users in the comments report the same strange phenomenon. One person replied, “I’ve had 99 the last 2 days, and yesterday it was bumped to 100 after a 1-hour nap! My scores have never been this high before so I definitely share the view that something has changed.”
For some users, joy about good sleep now has turned into disappointment, “I was hoping it was just me and that I was finally getting good sleep, lol.” Some users have expressed harsher criticism regarding the unusual sleep scores of the Samsung Galaxy Watch, “total nonsense. Back up to 99 every day for the past 3 days. So I never cracked 93 or 94, and now it’s 99 for a week straight with one 96…yeah, ok.”
So far, it is not known why the Samsung Galaxy Watch function suddenly shows these high values for so many users. However, it seems obvious that these are not the actual sleep conditions of the users. The function served as an important guide for many in their daily well-being, so it remains to be hoped that the Korean conglomerate will address the problem as quickly as possible.
