If you own a Garmin smartwatch and want to get into sleep tracking while also being a big "Pokémon" fan, then this latest Pokémon Sleep integration is for you.
Thanks to this latest integration, fans may now use their Garmin wearables to track their sleep in the most adorable way possible.
Pokémon Sleep x Garmin Is Here
According to the recent announcement by The Pokémon Company, the compatibility of the Pokémon Sleep app is now expanding to more wearables, particularly with the Garmin brand.
The latest collaboration went live during the World Sleep Day celebration earlier this month, which lasted from March 13 to March 23, with The Pokémon Company promoting the importance of sleep and leveraging its tracking platform.
Previously, Pokémon Sleep only supported the likes of Apple Watches and Android-based wearables, but it is now expanding its compatibility with Garmin smartwatches to expand the sleep tracking app's reach to more users.
The more Garmin users sleep, the more Pokémon appear on their campsite in the app.
