FEATURE REQUEST - Please send recovery heart rate to Garmin Connect

Hi - I track the percentage drop in my heart rate from when I stop running to my heart rate one minute after I stop. I'm pretty sure this latter rate is my Recovery Heart Rate as reported by my Garmin 645 Music watch after I stop running. But I can't find the RHR stat in the STAT section of an activity ( a run ). This support page:

support.garmin.com/.../

says i should see it in the Heart Rate section of the stats page for a run / activity. But in my Garmin Connect app on Android, version 4.71, it only lists my "Avg Heart Rate", and my "Max Heart Rate" in the Heart Rate section. It does NOT list the Recovery Heart Rate. It would be really great if the app DID list the RHR. That way I wouldn't have to wait until the RHR appears on my phone and type it into a Google Sheet I use to track my runs. Thanks.

It's there, make sure you are waiting 2 minutes after you finished running before stopping the activity

Hi @bluexviii - thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it. Recovery Heart Rate (RHR) shows on my Garmin Forerunner 645 Music watch 2 minutes after I hit stop button on watch but before I save the activity on my Garmin 645 Music Watch. But when I follow that process:

1. Stop running.
2. Hit stop on watch as soon as I stop running.
3. Wait 2 minutes - see Recovery Heart Rate on watch.
4. Save activity

I cannot find Recovery Heart Rate on Garmin Connect Web or on Garmin Connect Mobile App 4.71 on Android for ANY activity.
Please see attached screenshots below of Garmin Connect Web and Garmin Connect Android. You will see just Average Heart Rate and Max Heart Rate in Heart Rate section. No Recovery Heart Rate.

I really hope I am wrong about this - I'd really like it to find out I am doing something wrong and if I just do something different the RHR will be there. Because if I'm not wrong it will require an update of the app and who knows when that will happen - there are several other (older) posts on here asking for same.

So, couple questions:

1. Can you post screenshots from Garmin Connect (web or mobile) stats section where you see Recovery Heart Rate?
2. If you do see Recovery Heart Rate in Garmin Connect - what watch and phone are you using, please? (I am wondering if my issue is due to combo of Garmin Forerunner 645 Music + Android.)
3. And if I read your reply super - literally, are you saying instead of hitting stop on watch when i stop running I should (a) stop running but let the watch keep going for 2 minutes (b) and two minutes after I stop, THEN I hit stop button on watch? And if I follow that process, Recovery Heart Rate will show up in Garmin Connect?
4. Because if that's what your saying I will give it a try. But when you said "...before stopping the activity" did you mean "... before saving the activity"?

Thanks!

Apologies, yes that should be wait two minutes after stopping the activity before saving, yes I can see the RHR in the app, using a Fenix 6x
