Questions about Sleep and Activity Tracking (alien.top)

Hey!

I’m coming from a Fitbit, where it did these things automatically without any user intervention.

Am I understanding right, that to get sleep tracking, I have to put the Sleep Focus on? and that without the focus turned on, it won’t track my sleep?

As for activity tracking, when the watch prompts me to track activity, will it start the activity from when I started moving, or when I confirm I want the activity to be tracked?

As for medications, is there a way to set it to “When I wake up” as opposed to a set time? I work shifts, so I don’t always take them at the exact same time each day, but would still like a reminder to take them.

Do you charge your Apple Watch twice a day? One before bed for sleep tracking and once again for daily activity? Or can you get a full 24 hours out of it?

I appreciate I’m asking a lot of questions here! Thanks in advance

you'll need to manually start sleep focus or set a sleep schedule. you'll get sleep stages when you sleep more than four hours.

I use the Medication reminder, it does appear to need a time but it sends a reminder that stays on screen. You can set follow up reminders until you log having taken them If you think you might swipe it away. It has been very helpful in the little bit of time I have used it.
