Software Update 19.38 - significant change in HRV status (much lower readings)

Hi,

I am wondering if software package 19.38 had any effect on how Garmin calculates HRV? Ever since the latest software was installed, my HRV status coincidentally is off the charts low (see image). I don't believe it is correct as my workout routine hasn't changed much, nor am I feeling fatigued or under the weather.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Obviously the daily training exercises recommended by Garmin run coach are influenced by these readings (I think they are going too easy on me for this faulty reason).

Would appreciate any insight on this matter.

Hi. Since the last software update on my epix pro gen 2 ,the 19.38 version. the night hrv has gone down. It started on yellow, now it's on red. It's messing with all the metrics. Is anyone else experiencing this after the 19.38software update? Thanks

Yes I also have this problem. This issue has been raised with other Garmin users on Facebook pages I follow.

Same issue for me. You can see from my HRV stats when the 19.38 update was installed on my watch.

Looks like your HRV started trending down on Dec 5, which if I recall is before 19.38. The rate of descent increased from December 8 and appears to have bottomed out on Dec 14th. Not sure but I think 19.38 was released to the public after Dec14. When did you install 19.38? What's the HRV looking like now?

Add me to the list of low HRV... found this thread and noticed there's a new update which I'm doing now. I guess we'll have to wait and see for a few days.

I disagree. If you look closely, there were normal day-to-day fluctuations in my HRV up to/prior to December 11.

I remember the software update (19.38) being installed before my eyes on one of two days last week while I was sitting in a conference (either Dec 10 or 11). Interestingly enough, December 11th is when my HRV went "low". It has still not recovered btw. Here is the latest data (as of 12/20):

Even worse. Keeps going down. You're right it started with the update prior to the 19.38

Although I also see a downward trend from my Epix in recent weeks, there is a similar trend from my Oura Ring. I don't think it can be both devices with a matching fault. It must be me. I have increased my training volume and intensity lately.
