Can the Foretrex 801 monitor sleep quality

The Garmin Foretrex 801 does not have the capability to monitor sleep quality. While it is a powerful GPS navigation device with various fitness tracking features, sleep tracking is not one of its functions.

The Foretrex 801 is primarily designed for outdoor navigation, tracking activities like running, cycling, and hiking, and providing tactical features for military and outdoor enthusiasts[1][3][4]. It has a monochromatic display, long battery life, and is water-resistant[3][4].

However, the device lacks advanced health tracking sensors found in dedicated fitness trackers or smartwatches. Features like sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and advanced workout analysis are not included in the Foretrex 801's capabilities[1][2].

If you are looking for a device that can track your sleep quality along with your outdoor activities, you may need to consider a different wearable that specializes in health and fitness tracking, such as a Garmin Fenix or Forerunner series watch.
