Feature Idea: Option to reset nightly HRV Baseline

No reaction from Garmin?

I can't understand why it would be good to forget your development history.
Isn't it for this reason that readings are recorded in order to see the development in the time? Make a new account and reset the watch - this will not solve your problems? Is it the same story with VO2max, isn't it?

I tried to give some examples for cases in which this feature would be useful in my opening post. But apart from that: There's not really a reason to prohibit the user to react to certain edge cases. But it's very frustrating if you can't because someone just decided that your edge case is so unlikely that they wouldn't even put one developer's day's work into it to have this done for this and all upcoming models.

@S.M.R: Yes, thanks :)

I have a case for this, pregnancy.  While I was pregnant and got my new watch, my HRV baseline was set very low (30s).  Now that I've given birth, the baseline is incorrect.  My nightly average is around 80, so it's always reading unbalanced.

Quite representative for how many male devs and female devs are working on those algorithms, if they can't come up with the idea that pregnancy could be a problem for the alrogithm :D

I produced another example by myself: My Resting Heart Rate dropped from ~56 to ~44 in the last 4 months because I just got back to exercise again. With more time between heartbeats, the absolute variance (in ms) obviously also increased. Result: My HRV will be "unbalanced", if I don't regularly reset the whole watch.

One question: Will the HRV baseline permanent after 3 weeks from zero, or it is adjusted automatically from time to time? Because maybe it makes no sense to reset, if the baseline will change after some time.

Yes, it does adjust over time. I read somewhere that it has a 100-day sliding window (and propably weighted?). And I feel this is a reasonable time frame but it's too slow to work properly when you have breaking changes in your life like giving birth. 

The window size seems to change over time as well.

If i understand it right, "balanced window" goes high and down with your health.

Here you can see that grey corridor where the values remain green. It has changed many times in 4 weeks.
