Morning report, HRV.

The Venu 2 is Garmins self proclaimed Heath and lifestyle focused watch.  

Taking this into account, I am perplexed to why they haven’t brought health feature like the morning report and HRV status to the watch.  I get that running features are not included but these are clearly health items.  

as the Venu 2 is only just over a year old, I was expecting these features to be added,  but here we are.  The next update is just a bunch of fixes with nothing of interest.  

I thought Garmin were getting better and I believe they are. They are slimming down the myriad of watches that all do the same thing.  But a watch like the lily has the morning report but there top of the line lifestyle watch doesn’t.  I don’t get it!

    HRV Status is not a health stat. It's linked to Training Status 2.0:

    (use web version)

    Morning Report, on the other hand, should be ported, I agree. It originated on the Garmin Lily, so I don't see any reason not to do it.

    I don’t expect training status, however, a number of reviews state that it can make body battery more accurate.  Right that feature is junk.  That said, perhaps they use HRV for that already Sunglasses

    on that link, while I see garmin are using various data points to determine training status.  The actual HRV value is more of an overall health metric.  As stated 

    Normal, healthy HRV levels vary significantly from one person to the next, which means that the best way to interpret HRV metrics is based on what is normal for you. A balanced HRV status means that your 7-day average overnight HRV is within your personal baseline range. A lower than normal overnight HRV may indicate your body is struggling to recover or for example that your body is working to fight off illness or infection. Recent research shows that overloading can sometimes contribute to an unusually high HRV.

    At this point I am struggling to see the point of the Venu 2.  It’s seems to be a forerunner with half the features removed, and a nicer screen in its place.  

    Having owned many forerunners, I should have realised that the Venu 2 was style over features.

    Well said, nothing to add...

    I don't see how my post merits a downvote. It just is what it is: Without TS no HRV Status. I didn't say I like it, but it's not a health stat. Feedback is linked to Training Load etc.

    I agree, why down vote a perfectly legitimate and correct response.  I still think Garmin are not giving their (expensive) lifestyle watch the features it deserves,  right now it’s a forerunner with features removed and a nice screen.  

    In my eyes the Venu series going forward should just be a forerunner with a nice screen. This lifestyle approach is bs and is confusing the for the customer.  After all, the venu 2 has vo2 max, it also has hrv in the health snapshot.  So clearly the idea it’s lifestyle is somewhat erroneous. 

    Going forward, in a couple of years when I upgrade, I will go for a forerunner. They are updated, have more features than the Venu, with no disadvantages except not having an amoled screen. The amoled screen was the big draw, but in reality it’s not all that impressive after a while. In fact the fact it accidentally activates all the time is a pain.
