Do Stress/Body Battery work when connect to external HR sensor?

My question is do Stress/Body Battery work on 955 when 955 is connect to an external HR sensor, eg Polar Verity Sense armband?

Context: Am thinking of buying 955 so I can monitor my heart rate re a non-life-threatening medical condition.

Other people with my condition recommend running an all-day Yoga Activity, which is the only way to get real-time heart rate alerts if HR goes above certain threshold.

I would like to pair 955 with Polar Verity Sense to improve HR accuracy (I have Polar H10 chest strap but not comfortable to wear 12+ hours per day).

I wondered if you lose Body Battery/Stress etc when not using 955’s optical HR sensor.

I'm not sure but I think the external HR sensor only works when training.

I think we'd probably have to wait to hear from official Garmin reps regarding the firmware stuff like this.

But I'll add that I have gotten alerts about my "Training Readiness" score changing during an activity while using my Polar H10. So maybe?

Hello, this is not working. The watch primarily uses its heart sensor for daily monitoring. That is to say for monitoring outside of activities.
