Software 8.10: terrible body battery and stress level!

Former Member over 5 years ago

Body battery and stress level worked very fine with my Fenix 6X Pro until I did the update to version 8.10.

This morning, I had 100% body battery.

The only thing I did so far is shopping for like half an hour.

The rest of the day, I slept for 2 extra hours and watched Netflix. So no stress at all!

My body battery went from 100% this morning to 27% right now (7 PM) and according to my watch, my stress level is 37.

Even during my 2 hour nap this afternoon, my body battery went down instead of up (like it did in the last 5 months....)

And that while binge watching Breaking Bad on Netflix...

How is that possible?

I did turn my watch of and back on again after the update.

Is there any way to go back to the previous software version?

I done some tests during flights coming back home and watching TV, iPAD or Smartphone seems not be a relaxing activity. As soon as I stopped to watch and close my eyes stress became low…

Have you done a hard reset - press and hold top left until it powers down. Then restart. A bit like rebooting a Windows machine after an update as opposed to a simple power cycle.

Mine isn’t working properly since the update either. I’ve done several hard resets no improvements. Only goes up 25 when sleeping for 8 hours!

I do have a similar issue. BB going down much faster than earlier and not recovering as before. And I'm definitively not stressed at the moment, the opposite.

It's the virus. :P

For me it behaves as before.

I done some tests during flights coming back home and watching TV, iPAD or Smartphone seems not be a relaxing activity. As soon as I stopped to watch and close my eyes stress became low, if I restarted to watch something stress came back to mid or high.

So, sometimes activities we think are not stressing our body in reality are stressing it. Like Emeat for example, watch TV, drink and eat probably consume more body battery we think.

Anyway... after 8.10 update I will give you a feedback about changement.

Sorry for the necro reply- just getting into understanding body battery and stress- and heart rate variability.
I’ll say this- having just binge watched all of breaking bad and better call Saul- blue light, sedentary, emotional ride- great tv can still be terrible for HRV and our overall health. I’m curious what the response is now a year+ later.
