Stress Score

Mine is usually around 20.

When I get above 25 I get a warning to take a rest.
It usually nicely correlates with days I feel under heavy load (training, work stress, alcohol).

I must be doing something wrong. Or I am stressed like noone else in the world

To be clear I am talking about the Stress Widget not the HRV Stress Application

I'm sitting on my couch, drinking coffee after having been awake for ~30 min and my stress score is 9. I've seen it range from 9 to the 50s. I've never really seen it higher than that so I must be fairly relaxed ;-)

Yes, that's what I meant.

I get it sometimes above 50 but it's always right after a workout.
It then usually falls to 20-30 within 2h.

Hi everybody !!

I've been using my fenix 5s for 1 month now and my stress scores are always high even when I'm sleeping, It is possible the widget should be calibrated like the altimeter and barometer ?.

AReyes, the widget doesn't need to be calibrated. In my case it usually stay in the blue range (rest) during sleep time. It remain high only when i eat too much in the evening before going to sleep or when i am really stressed with my job. in that cases also my rest heart rate is higher than normal

My stress score was also in sub 20 range for several months. Then in November it rose to some 25 and mid-December to above 50. It peaked to 62 on 31 Dec and started to fall again. I tried to analyze what has caused the change and I've found at least that rest (i. blue 0-25) hardly happened at all even during sleep when the score was at its highest. Still, this makes me really wonder... I even thought that firmware change could be the culprit but probably not.

The widget works as expected for me. Since Garmin enabled this I had a daily stress score between 8 and 38. It markedly dropped when I was completely switched off on holidays and usually perfectly correlates with:
- work (to the extent of stress immediately dropping when I close my laptop and leave the office)
- exercise (post exercise the "stress" goes up for some 30 mins until the body cools down)
- food and alcohol intake expecially in the evenings

During a calm night, the stress goes literally down to zero.

I am really happy with the insights the widget provides in terms of "self-awareness". It is not earth shattering in any way but helps visualize the "value" of resting and other good or bad habits.
