People have waited years for a 'Garmin sleep band.' Will Garmin get it right?

This alleged screenless Garmin arm band could arrive this summer with tap gestures, optical HR, sleep data, smart alarms, and more.

I could see this new Garmin product fitting the niche of a smart ring at a more affordable price while staying hidden on your bicep, leaving your wrist and fingers for non-tech accessories. I'm concerned that Garmin might make it too pricey as a "backup" device or emulate Whoop with a mandatory Connect Plus fee, propping up their membership numbers and profits in one swoop.
