My Garmin most certainly has sleep tracking

I was referring to complications.

I’m lost - what is a complication? From my initial Google, it does seem like my Garmin can add additional things to the face but I’m still kind of unclear as to what a complication is. For reference I have heart rate, step count, mileage, body battery and weather on my vivoactive3 face.

Complications are additional snippets of information displayed right on your watch face, such as activity tracking, battery life, media controls and more.

From https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.google/products/wear-os/5-ways-to-personalize/amp/

Basically, I’d like to know if I have unread messages by looking at my watch. My Fitbit can’t do that. AFAIU, Garmins can’t, but I could be wrong.

They should be customizable by third party developers, but I think I’d be happy just knowing about SMS, Gmail, and maybe upcoming appointments.

EDIT: also the high/low temperature for the day. It’s helpful for choosing kids clothes for the day.

Thanks for the clarification. your response was ambiguous given the opposing questions in the former comment
