Heart Rate Variability Status
Your watch analyzes your wrist heart rate readings while
you are sleeping to determine your heart rate variability
(HRV). Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and
healthy habits all impact your heart rate variability. HRV
values can vary widely based on gender, age, and fitness
level. A balanced HRV status may indicate positive signs
of health such as good training and recovery balance,
greater cardiovascular fitness, and resilience to stress.
An unbalanced or poor status may be a sign of fatigue,
greater recovery needs, or increased stress. For best
results, you should wear the watch while sleeping. The
watch requires three weeks of consistent sleep data to
display your heart rate variability status.
