I'm 74 and use a Vivoactive 5 to help monitor my health after a heart attack a year ago. I appreciate the intention behind the stress feature, but its practical application raises serious concerns for me. The specific problem: The watch routinely classifies everyday household activities — such as preparing and cooking my meals, which I do 3–4 times a day — as periods of high stress. As a result, at the end of the day the watch tells me I've had a "high stress day", even though my mental and emotional state has been completely calm and relaxed. What I understand: I know the metric is based on heart rate variability (HRV) and measures physiological stress, not psychological stress. I understand that standing, moving around the kitchen, or digesting a meal can raise my heart rate. But that's exactly my question: does it make sense for the watch to label as "stress" something that is simply everyday life? What I've observed and read: I'm not alone. On this forum and others, users of similar age have reported the same thing: high stress levels unless they are sleeping or doing formal exercise. I've also seen complaints about errors in total stress calculation after some firmware updates. My questions for the community and for Garmin: 1. Is there a way to configure the watch so it doesn't count these household activities as stress? Or to manually exclude certain periods? 2. Does Garmin plan to revise the stress classification logic so it better reflects the context of daily activities, not just physiology? 3. Does anyone else experience this so systematically? How have you managed it? Thank you in advance for any guidance. My intention is not to criticize for the sake of it, but to understand whether there is a solution or whether this feature, as designed, simply doesn't fit what a user like me needs. Best regards.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/vivomove-trend/441031/a-request-for-readiness-and-health-features-designed-for-the-female-body/2069712Wed, 07 Oct 2026 17:10:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:f7da0044-89f8-4107-b552-1190c0b6e76a7340731At the very least, track longer than 4 week trends in HRV data and integrate with the menstrual tracker that is ALREADY IN THE APP. Garmin tells me every single month that my training is strained when my HRV drops due to the natural fluctuation in luteal phase. The pattern is the same every month, but Garmin doesn’t learn from that.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/venu-4-series/440580/blank-screen-but-watch-still-alive/2069678Wed, 07 Oct 2026 15:25:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:3c159457-4b66-443e-b89d-d93633a98dce1930703Happened to me 2 times already, both times on lower battery around 20% after starting activity. For an hour of workout the watch screen didn't work but I got notification buzz still.

You should be able to set the CIRQA as your primary wearable and the fenix as your training device. If that’s your intent.

But this tells something about the quality of those things. The connector is supposed to be waterproof and nothing should build up inside the watch, especially when it's never been exposed to water pressure. I believe that if the watch were used for swimming it would fail much earlier.https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/vivoactive-5-series/444199/battery-stays-on-100-vivoactive-5/2069483Tue, 06 Oct 2026 21:41:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:64e01ce9-0309-46a9-9864-8aa5f5737157Garmin - CFHauke Thanks for updating the thread!
