Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) – Inconsistent trigger criteria & request for wider availability across all sports

[sszabo.apor]

Hi everyone,
I wanted to bring up the Heart Rate Recovery (HRR) calculation feature. While it’s a great metric to track fitness and recovery status, its current implementation feels quite inconsistent and unpredictable.Personally, I use a dedicated chest heart rate belt for around 98% of my workouts, so data quality and continuous HR tracking during exercise and right after stopping are never an issue. However, I’ve noticed the recovery HR calculation only triggers on very rare occasions, and the conditions under which it actually appears feel almost random.A couple of thoughts and questions for the community and developers:Why is it triggering so inconsistently?
What are the exact criteria required for the watch to calculate and display HRR (e.g., minimum HR threshold, specific cooldown window, remaining completely still)?Feature Suggestion – Universal Sport Support: Would it be possible to make HRR available across all sports modes rather than a select few?
Consistent Post-Workout Prompt: Could we have a reliable prompt or automatic measurement at the end of every workout (perhaps during the post-exercise summary screen or a 1–2 minute cooldown prompt) so users can consistently track their recovery progress over time?
Has anyone figured out the exact logic behind when the watch decides to measure HR recovery, or experienced the same inconsistency even when using a chest strap?
Thanks!

@sszabo.apor HRR measurement starts only if you end your workout in Zone 2 or above. If you finish your activity in Zone 1, it does not show up.

@sszabo.apor no problems at all, triggers everytime when ending a workout in z2 or higher.
