Anyone else had much higher HRV since latest update?

Was there a change in HRV calculation? For almost week now my HRV had been much higher every night and during the day healthchecks with no changes to my lifestyle. I know there was an update around the same time so wondering if Garmin has changed the way they measure HRV.

Yes

Fenix 6. I have the same issue. Increasing since the update. I wish Garmin would remove the OHR and get back to a basic GPS watch, where you have a chest strap if you want to record HR.

this is driving me mad now

I was hoping they were getting it wrong and finally fixed the issue. No one else noticed this??

I have the same problem. After using my FR 265 for 7 months with no problems, after the last update 3 days ago, my HRV scores have skyrocketed. My average used to be in mid 30s; now the readings are close to 100. There has been no significant change in my lifestyle so, this sudden increase in HRV measurement seem to be the result of the upgrade. The overnight HRV readings used to be a zig-zagging but continuous line; now it is a scattershot of various discontinuous points. This faulty HRV measure has been distorting my training readiness score too; making the watch increasingly useless for the original purpose I bought it for. Please Garmin, do something to fix this problem!
