Low HRV since updating to 20.32

Good luck!  It happened to me about a month ago and is in the forum. Nothing can be done short of wiping everything off the watch and starting over.  Garmin states it only affects a small amount of users so who cares!

Did you manage to resolve the issue by doing a reset? I did see your post and wondered if it had been resolved…

I mean the R word is a bit strong…

I’ve updated to 21.14 and hoping for the best. Hope you get it resolved. 

I have the same issue at this point. Never had this before, it has been showing up since 3 days. The HRV data is intermittent on my Forerunner 265, whereas the heart rate data overnight is fine. So there must be something up with the algorithm I imagine. BTW, sleep tracking is also fine.

Mine started two weeks ago and only now am I starting to see it improve slightly. My HRV is still low but has slowly been creeping back up and is bordering unbalanced. Training status still shows as strained. Today is the first day I’ve started the day with a full body battery. I’m hoping that the update yesterday has gone some way to resolve the obvious issue with the algorithm recently!

Same issue, pretty much since end of September already, so maybe even before 20.32 (don't remember exactly when I updated)....did the update to the public beta 21.14 help anyone?

EDIT: just downloaded 21.16 and will check myself

It took a couple of weeks but mine finally sorted itself out. Not sure what happened whether it was a buggy update or something but it has been ok since I updated to 21.14.

I know it can happen before you get sick and whilst you’re sick but I’ve been absolutely fine so that definitely wasn’t the issue. 

Garmin support were clueless. She didn’t know what hrv was and kept telling me my heart rate looked fine which it did. When I explained it was hrv that was the issue all she did was send the articles that come up when you google it yourself so I had already read them. She referred it to the team in America to look at as she said it was too complex for her. I never got an answer…

My HRV started to go wacky the beginning of August, maybe two weeks after I installed the v20.15 beta. It's mostly sorted out again now but it took three months. I did not reset my watch, just kept using it like normal.

It started five weeks before my first marathon. I was training using DSW and had stretched a 2 hr 55 min long run to 3 hrs 40 mins to hit 20 miles. It was hot that day and the run was tough. DSW lightened my training load and I obeyed, figuring I had overdone it. My marathon went well for a first timer, I came in just under 4 hrs.

But my HRV kept dropping. Was it marathon fatigue? Was it the update? Was it the changing seasons? Who knows. But it did sort itself out, and I can directly attribute dips in HRV to hard workout days or poor sleep nights again. I upgraded to the v21 beta soon after it came out, and that one seems to me to be more solid than v20 ever was.

I've had the same too...it just hasn't really budged in weeks and I'm thinking it may be a fault rather than accurate now. Nothing is perfect but when software bugs stop the metrics working as they should you doubt in future how accurate they really are. Pinch of salt and all that..
