Venu 2 High stress, even resting

I just got a Venu 2 and while I have no problems charging the body battery sleeping, charging it when resting and chilling out is almost impossible!

I did a test last night, and compared it to my Forerunner 45. I waited till I'd digested my dinner, and then wore both watches for a couple of hours. In that time my venu discharged slowly, by around 6 points, but the Forerunner charged 8 points!

How can there be such a discrepancy between watches? Some folks use multiple devices, so to have such a difference is a bit of an issue!

Sometimes, when I first wake up, and chill in bed, listening to music, I can charge my Venu, but most times it picks up low to medium stress.

Has anyone else found this?

I know the newer devices use a different way to calculate stress, but it still seems odd that there can be such a difference!

My Venu even picks up stress from digesting food!

Hi, I got my Venu 2 two weeks ago and it is my first smartwatch, so I cannot compare it. But, I am a bit worried as it reports high stress almost every night. I don't drink alcohol and I am having pretty relaxed last few days. I am sleeping well (according to my feeling) and I am living healthy life (not very sporty but active with a lot of walking e.g.)

The only thing that I see as irregular is that currently I am having a cold (if this might influence on measuring).

I am just hoping that it is not because of some defect in the body.

I hope it helps you.
