Vivosmart 4 vs vivosmart 5 stress accuracy

I know it has been discussed before but I would like to understand which device should I trust more for stress measurement. If I go by vivosmart 4 I have a body battery score of 100 at the end of an intense work day. If I go by the vivosmart 5 I have a body battery of less than 10 and no resfull moments. Since these are polar opposites. Which one should I trust more? Thanks!

    I would not put much faith in the Body Battery metric telling me anything usefull on any watch. But in this case the VS5 may have a "newer" method of calculation. And yes, there are lots of post on the Stess measured by the VS5. Who knows? Garmin will never tell us which one is more trustworthy....

    I've re-charged my VS4 for a test, and same as you, BB of 100 at the end of the day. So definitely wrong. In my experience VS5 is close to my Fenix 8 estimates on stress levels and BB.

    Thanks for experimenting! Idk with VS4 I still got stress warnings from time to time even if BB was much higher. I'm torn, if Fenix is closer to VS5 it's probably a better indicator. Still, I think the truth lies somewhere between both extremes. At least a Samsung watch doest say I'm depleted 99% of the time.
