Body Battery appears/disappears on the same graph and make an incorrect calculation

Always the same problem:

I wear the 5X Plus for a walk and the body battery line on the stress graph magically disappears.

As soon as I wear the First Avenger/vivoactive4 the body battery line becomes active again, however with a clearly incorrect calculation.

As the BB is calculated on the stress line. Why can't I see it when I'm wearing the 5X Plus ?!

Simple. The Fenix 5+ line doesn't have Body battery (too old): support.garmin.com/.../

Both were marketed in 2019
May 5plus / October vivo4
it's only a delay of the updates because the calculation is done in the same way.

According to quick internet search, Fenix 5+ series was announced June 2018, Vivoactive 4 Septermber 2019. So Vivoactive 4 line is a little over year newer than Fenix 5+ line.

Ok, thanks for your reply, but the announcement date doesn't matter because fenix 5x plus has the same functions as fenix 6x and updates are still available. I just want my main watch to be able to calculate BB when I'm wearing the fenix 5x plus because the graph, as you can see, is the same.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Fenix 6x has lots of features that Fenix 5x+ doesn't have. Including Body battery.

You are absolutely right that the F5+ has less features than the F6, but the question is if they are relevant. IMHO those things like body battery are gimmicks, what's more important to me is that the F5+ has the much better GNSS- accuracy!
