HRV problem?

Hi everyone!

I'dont know if i'm experiencing an HRV problem or not...

My HRV level is constantly drooping from about one month by now.. and I've no aswer for that.. [The fall increased after the update (12.27)]

I tried to reset the watch, but it semms there's non difference (new first reading - the blue one - is also worst...).

I've 10 days of full stop and about 3 weeks of super soft training...

I hope hrv whould balance with new "ms spot" but this could be right or not?

Thank U ALL

Yes... maybe... u r right...

indeed this grafic shows (for my age 38) a range about 40 to 65 ms (average about 55ms), mine (when it says was "balance") was about 75 - 80 ms..

So.. i'll wait for…

At the beginning I thought that too.. 'cause the suggestion was to decrease training...

But now that i'm completly rest and i'm tryng to come back in training, sounds weird.

Similar problem here, and we are not the only ones. I have not seen any comment from Garmin though.

My HRV values declined from mid October then bounced back into range from the end of December.

On the contrary, my heart rate variability is increasing. from 1.1. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol ;-)

My HRV values dropped recently as well but they’re returning to baseline now. My baseline is 100-115 (37M).

It was pretty stable for October through December but fell down to Low around the end of December for several weeks. In my case I think it was a combination of illness and overtraining. I haven’t seen anything to suggest a hardware or software issue. My HRV has been returning to baseline over the last week or so.

Starting to have some doubts as well...my HRV has been steadily declining from ~ 65/70 to 50/55 to for a couple of months and I'd put that at first on account of having a small case of the flue at one point but I felt completely recovered. Then yesterday I did a hard VO2Max session in the evening that should normally have been pretty taxing on the system and required some recovery...well it was 77 for the night, my best ever in 3+ months !

You're definitely experiencing a problem. My HRV has been obviously incorrect for months. It's a major issue that isn't being solved or addressed by garmin.

Similarly my HRV has bounced back this month.

Yeah...makes you wonder why we bother with all these "metrics" from Garmi !

Altini says there are two good ways to determine HRV, his (spot measure in the morning) and Garmin's (all niight) but when I used my Ignite (4 first hours of sleep) I never saw results that had me scratch my head.
