Stress readings always high.

Question

I have a problem with my Venu 4. Since the update to software version 16.28, my stress readings are always high. Even when I just sit and relax, the stress readings are high. My body battery empties much quicker than before. At night it's much more difficult to charge it up. Because of that I always get a bad training readiness. It wasn't like that before the software version 16.28. I always have to ignore stress readings, body battery, and training readiness, because of that. All that makes the Venu 4 less usable. I hope so much for a fix. I don't know if it's the algorithm of stress reading or another sensor calibration. Please Garmin fix this problem.

9523410 Garmin stress is calculated from heart rate variability (HRV), which looks at the tiny differences in time between heartbeats to estimate how your body&rsquo;s autonomic nervous system is responding. Things like workouts, sleep quality, illness, caffeine, hydration, or even general daily movement can influence HRV and lead to higher stress readings&mdash;even when you&rsquo;re resting. 
 Since you recently switched devices, it can also take a little time wearing the watch both day and night for it to build a consistent baseline for your trends. You can learn more about how stress is calculated here: What Is the Stress Level Feature on My Garmin Device?
