Stress measured during cycling activity recorded with an Edge device

Hello everyone, this topic is stil relevant to me:

When wearing the watch during a cycling activity that is recorded with an Edge, stress is still tracked tracked by the watch. This leads to very high values during this activity.

The all day stress score would give better results if these high stress values are removed after syncing the activity to Garmin connect. In addition, it would be nice if the all day heart rate values tracked by the watch could be replaced by the more accurate heart rate values obtained from a chest strap connected to the Edge during the cycling activity.

Yesturday I had a long bicycle tour with a very low intesity (avg. HR 110 BPM):

This issue with stress calculating leads to wrong daily stress score:

When I hadn't EDGE and record such activities with my 945, stress score was untouched. Is it posssible to fix that?

If your heart rate was higher you would've been seen as active by 945 and the stress measurement had been turned off, but with that low HR it didn't do that. The workaround is to start an activity on the 945 during the ride and then discard it afterwards. Not ideal, but it will fix this issue. For shorter rides it wouldn't have had that big of an impact on the stress score so you probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Thanks for the answer!

I'm sure, workaround will work, but I'd like it to work through True Up.
