Low HRV since updating to 20.32

VPD 1 month ago

Ever since updating to 20.32 my HRV has been low. This has had an impact on my body battery and my training status now shows as strained…

Physically I’m well so not sure why the sudden change and can only put it down to the update.

Is this a known issue?

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..

I have the same problem with my Garmin S70 golf watch after I did a software update to 19.34. I was communicating with my heart doctor trying to get in to get an EKG. Doctor said are you having symptoms? I said no but a low HRV over the course of days, means your heart is stressed and you have to take a day off and recover. And I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary!
Then I remember I updated my software on my S70 to 19.34. And I found this forum. Thanks to everyone for posting. Shame on Garmin for not having a fix or at least communicating there is an issue. People’s health is at risk psychologically which can lead to physical. More corporate bad decisions.

Updating to the beta program did fix the issue for me. Also, to be fair, for me it was quite obvious it was a bug due to the shape of the graph on HRV in the app.
