When you enable Smart Time Zone on Readi, any time zones you cross while wearing your ReadiBand will be factored into your ReadiScore, making your estimated Score more accurate.
Smart Time Zone is an optional feature that can be enabled by navigating to the Settings page by tapping the Settings ⚙️ icon from the main page. Then tap on the Smart Time Zone option to expand the section. Then slide the toggle to turn on Smart Time Zone.
How it works
Travelling can affect the accuracy of your ReadiScore, due to differences in sunrise and sunset times across the globe. The greater the distance travelled from home, the greater the potential impact on your ReadiScore.
When Readi captures new data from your ReadiBand, it will now consider your time zone when you travel. The last known time zone for a given day will be applied to your ReadiScore on that day.
Be sure to open your Readi at every new destination, so that it can capture new sleep data and any new time zone information. Please note, Readi obtains data automatically from your ReadiWatch or ReadiBand, at most once every eight hours. Manually initiate the syncing process if needed.
Note on privacy
Your location, obtained only when you opt in to Smart Time Zone, is used only to determine your time zone and to provide you with a more accurate ReadiScore during your time away from home. Smart Time Zone won't share your location with your employer/organization or any 3rd parties.
Smart Time Zone indicator in the Fatigue Science Web app
On your sleep report in the Web app, a Smart Time Zone indicator will be displayed on days when a different time zone from your usual time zone is used to calculate your ReadiScore. The number of time zones away from your usual time zone is visible, as are your sleep and wake times in the travel time zone.
Note to managers involved in setting up locations in the Fatigue Science Web app
To ensure Smart Time Zone recognizes periods of travel as intended, ensure the Web app location details are completed. Specifically, include both a city and state/province/territory detail, where applicable, to improve Smart Time Zone accuracy in time zones that cover large geographic areas and where there may be more than one city by the same name in the same time zone.
To recap, the Smart Time Zone indicator in the Web app will function as designed if the following conditions are met:
ReadiBand Wearers have opted in to Smart Time Zone in Readi
ReadiBand Wearers have travelled outside of their home timezone and sync their ReadiBands while travelling
The location in the Web app where ReadiBand Wearers are managed includes location details such as both a city and state/province/territory, where applicable.
