I'm not sure if a chest strap even works with health snapshot. You can definitely get HRV reading with health snapshot without a strap, so maybe try that
Sometimes I don't have it too, try to repeat it in few mins. Maybe the sensor is not able to get it all the time due to position on your hand etc.
Sorry, I overlooked you use HRM strap. I only use watch HR
Thanks, I tried without heart strap and it worked.
I am really surprised that it did not work with the strap. I tried the different ones, Wahoo, Polar H10 and Garmin pro.
Hi. I’m trying to do HRV reading and I’m a bit confused. Hi s this the same as snapshot reading? Can’t find HRV stress button as it is mentioned in manual and it also says it can be only done with a strap. Thanks
HRV stress is an application in start menu. Like running etc... I wrote it yesterday why we have two separate apps for HRV, one requires chest strap and health snapshot doesn't measure HRV with chest strap. Only without. That makes no sense.
Thanks. I don’t have that application. That’s the problem. Can’t see it. Can’t add it. Is it available all the times or it’s showing up when strap is connected? Thanks again.
On your watch:

Not everybody has a chest strap. Using a chest strap to assess HRV will give a much better result than using OHR. The strap actually measures HRV from the electric al signal generated but the heart. The OHR guesstimates from the changing light intensity as the pulse of blood moves through the blood vessels, this is a much less precise measure as there is no clearly defined peak like there is with an electrical signal.
I know that. But now, if we have HRV without chest strap, HRV stress app could use it too, if someone don't have chest strap. And health snapshot should be work with chest strap too, to get accurate reading... And there could be one app/widget instead of two.
Thanks for info. My watch is not showing HRV stress app/widget. Neither I can add it, is not listed as a option. Is this option always available or only when I put chest strap. I don’t currently own Garmin one but other brand. Thanks
No, you should be able to add this even without strap. I use Polar H10. You also could start the activity, but then you'll be warned, that you have to use chest strap. You should be able to add this app on Garmin connect watch/activity setting.
BUT WE ALL HERE ARE TALKING ABOUT GARMIN, THIS IS THE GARMIN FORUM.
