Can I reset HRV data? It screwed my metrics

Hi!

So, after the update I noticed the new HRV status. It should supposedly take 3 weeks to get a baseline, my baseline was set in 5 days... Coincidentally, these days where fraught with "stress", little sleep and coffee due to a deadline and so my baseline is skewed. So much so that the days that followed in peace and calm, showed a big drop in HRV status, all the way below the scale in my case. This also resulted in a permanent "strained" fitness status... a thing I haven't see ever in the years I am training with the Fenix 6.

Does anyone know of a "recalibrate" function, clear data option or other way to reset the HRV data (without having to reset everything)?

Cheers!

To clear the HRV status, you can only reset the watch.
A manual reset is not possible.
After the reset, the 3 weeks will of course start again from the beginning.

Thanks for the quick response. Doesn't resetting mean losing all other accumulated data, like activities, avg heart rate and such?

Sounds strange to me that one simple erronous "snapshot" of one specific metric, means resetting the whole thing...

Cheers,

If you sync the watch with GCM before reset then you'll have all the activities in Connect.

IMHO some of the things that are related to the watch (as opposed to your Garmin Connect user account) will be lost. I think the resting HR, max HR will start from scratch, like when the watch was new.

Your Baseline HRV is based on the previous 21-nights (from the information I have found) of the nightly HRV readings. The bad HRV records should eventually age out and the 'Training Status' move away from 'Strained'.

I'm currently in s similar situation to you following a run of high stress sleeps. With other metrics being what I would expect I am going to continue and see if it corrects itself.

(The onset of the high stress sleeps coincided with a change in the weather from warm and settled and a 3C drop in temperature.)

Thanks! If the below remark doesnt solve it, I'll go ahead and do that. :-)

Nice, I'll wait it out first.

your 'baseline" will naturally correct itself with a rolling average. don't mess with it.

I’m in the same situation and unfortunately the baseline does not seem to update this once set. I now have 4 weeks of data all below my previously calculated baseline. Garmin, sort it or I will be ‘strained’ forever.

Similar issue. Started new meds and my hrv went from the mid 90s to low 60s. My sleep score and body battery are consequently always poor, as well.

A previous poster says it takes 21 days to readjust and I'm just about there. Will see what happens in the coming week.

Unfortunately, my baseline hasnt changed. The only thing averiging out is my weekly score, so no luck there.
