HRV recording consistently scoring 26...
-
Hi,
Coming from Garmin I find the HRV metric really useful and surprisingly impacted by changes in routine / alcohol etc.On my R2 - I’m scoring the same every night - 26.
This is obviously not right but I’m not sure if its just my unit / software or a wider problem.
How is everyone else getting on? Whats your thoughts if you come from Garmin and lastly - does anyone know what is being worked on features/fixes wise in the next SW update (I know this isn’t speaking directly to Suunto but I’m at a loss on how to find out)?
Many thanks.
Neil.

@Neil-McElroy there is something off with the hrv measuring with r2 in my experience. I also came from Garmin, where it seemed much more polished. My hrv varies very little from day to day with the suunto and is considerably lower than in was ever getting with garmin.
I’ve resorted to taking measurements myself using a polar h10 chest belt and elitehrv. I take measurements at the same time every day including immediately up waking. This gives a much more accurate measurement and is significantly different from my suunto measurements. The variations with the chest strap and much larger but so too are the values. I will often have suunto show me my sleeping hrv is 30 and the chest strap will show between 50- 65. The suunto hardly varies from 30 ± 2. -
@TED77 You’re measuring and comparing two different things. Hence the discrepancies.
Instead of wasting time on pointless comparisons, read up on how (and what) is measured and displayed in both apps.

I have been comparing the HRV measurements with an another brand and can say that they are almost identical.
P.s. I am ill at the moment.

Please explain your rationale of how they are completely different things? I’m very aware of what hrv is so no need for your patronising approach.
Hrv being a metric based on RR interval and an rmssd is a measurable metric and should be very similar no matter what is measuring it.
I’ve been using hrv in different forms for training, health and research and with different devices for about 15 years and was even using it during my studies over 25 years ago. I’m genuinely interested why u think they are completely different things depending on device and app? The RR interval is the same no matter what is measuring it.
Now if suunto is using some other calculation and algorithm its news to me. -
@maszop aren’t both measuring RMSSD?
-
@OutdoorMan yes they are.

@OutdoorMan Among other things, in different stage of sleep.
Comparing numerical values is pointless – what matters is the trend. This is the point of HRV monitoring. Raw numerical data (without context) is useless.
