      @inkognito Fixing observations to fit a model? 😉 That works too I suppose. Explains why 70% of studies can’t be replicated…

      After a while personally I stopped using both Suunto’s and Garmin’s implementations of body resources. The former never reaches 100%, drops too fast, and is wiped out by a watch reboot. The latter doesn’t reach 100% only when I’m half dead, lying with high fever, and my stress levels can be observed by steam coming out of my ears. It also sometimes misses hours post-workout where stress is highest.

      If you want to track your recovery seriously, you’d have to look elsewhere. Or just go by the good ol’ feel.

        @NickK Fixing observations to fit a model? No, don’t you wory. Just trying to understand Suunto’s definition of resting HR as I can obviously be resting having 44 BPM as well as having 52 BPM.

        I do not listen to my watch more than to my feelings 😄 I just tried to do something to obtain more or less reasonable data in my watch, because I wasn’t happy with values bellow 10 % most of the time, that’s all 🙂

        SV: fingers crossed :D
        S9 (non-baro): died after 2 months, replaced, holding strong since 03/20
        Spartan Trainer: casing broke after 23 months, repaired, lost watertightness 5 months later, died
        Despite some pretty bad luck, I still love Suunto!

          In my point of view this works fine. I have nightly min. HR 41 - 42 and I set my resting HR 65. My morning body resources are between 70 - 95% and for example today I had only 3:45h sleep and my mornig body resources was under 30%. That is accurate enough for me… 👍

            And body resources are not exactly about 100% - means I am completely fit and 0% - means I am dead.

            Look at graph inside article:

            And few words about “Running on empty”

              I would be grateful if somebody can tell me to which value I should set the HR on the watch. I gave some values above in earlier posts, and the resting HR this morning after waking up was about 57 bpm.

                If you measured a rest HR of 57, and you need to set the rest HR in the watch, I would use that one (57)

                  @jannis According me morning HR after waking up is wrong value for this algorithm. I measured my HR during sitting and working without psychical stress and without eating and this average value I’m using like resting HR. This is my right resting HR in my opinion, because even if is bigger than HR during laying on sofa and watching TV, I’m still physically relaxing and regenerating, even when I’m in work.

                    My HR in the morning is about 50-55. But even if i set rest HR to 60 - my resourses displayed very low every day.

                          From my experience with this feature on Garmin side, it takes about a week if not longer of continuous 24 hour use for your HRV baseline to be established correctly. More if there were events in your week that would have affected HRV. Things like getting ill, a race or an extra tough workout, severe stress at work, sleep deprivation, pro drinking bout, etc.

                          Without that baseline and correct HR bounds, Body Resources will not work “correctly”. I say “correctly” because I’m not sure it works that well. On any device.

                                A bit too low:) Is the bar in the minus area a bug or what does it mean?

                                  After the calibration it seems the resources are now working fine. This morning:

                                      I mean just changing the min HR in the options. I tried it with 56-57 bpm.

                                        Inquiring minds want to know: if you set your min HR to 67 bpm, would you get 120%? 🤓

                                          Before that I had the default value of 60 bpm. Above are some pictures what I got then for resources.
