Hrv data not being captured

2896920 5 days ago

Hello I’m not able to view my hrv either on the app or setting on my watch. As far as I can see the hrv is supported. Can someone assist on how to set or view hrv data capture?

Do you mean overnight HRV, or HRV during an activity? And do you really own Instinct 1st gen (that's the model this forum section is for)? HRV features are not supported on Instinct 1st gen, so that might be the reason you cannot find any.

If you mistook, and meant Instinct 2 or Instinct 3, then there are couple of options:

In the first case (overnight HRV), have a look at the Sleep page of Garmin Connect. Under the graph, you can enable the "Overnight HRV" option (on the app you may need to swipe the option buttons to the extreme right, to see it).

In the second case (HRV during activities), you have to enable the HRV logging in the settings (System » Data Recording), and then either use a Connect IQ app to make it visible in the activity stats, or view the activity FIT file with an external too, such as the FIT File Viewer. Please note that only activities with a HRM strap will record HRV.

Besides that, you can also take a Health Snapshot at any time, which will also record a HRV reading. And you can also check the Stress page - Stress is the inverted percentual expression of HRV relative to your baseline.
