Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiological phenomenon that can be recorded, analyzed, and interpreted to help understand how your body is navigating the challenges of life and environment.
Specifically, HRV refers to the ever-changing length of time between consecutive heartbeats. When your heart is beating at 60 beats per minute, the beats are not evenly spaced one second apart. Look closely and you will see that some beats are slightly less than one second apart and others are a little bit more than one second apart. This irregularity is perfectly normal and healthy.

Dear Garmin, please consider leaving out music for instructional videos like these.
Or at least put some good music … 😂
Sound quality was shite, and that’s putting it mildly. 3/10
@@xavierpretat4395 no music please
Or lower volume
Yes, sounds like someone’s playing mega man in the background.
To all that are worried about your HRV compared to others. The HRV and your baseline should only be compared to yourself. HRV is highly individual even between two very fit athletes.
YEP! I'm 68, very active. Resting HR is about 58 BPM, VO2Max estimate is 42. HIIT elliptical sessions I hit lower 140s BPM. Never had an HRV average over 32.
Thank you Garmin!
Awesome video easy to follow. Music though …thanks for all the info it shall make me more awesome 😎
Hey Garmin! Are you planning to implement the HRV status in the Venu 2 plus? I got a Venu 2 Plus since 3 weeks and was very disappointed that the watch can display HRV only in the stress measurement. Even cheaper watches and trackers like the Fitbit Charge 5 (which I used before the Venu 2 Plus) or the Polar Ignite 3 can display nightly average HRV status..
When will the HPV sync function be added to the new watch and watch after reset? after resetting the settings, you have to wait three weeks.
Got a bad head cold just after Christmas and my sleep pattern went to crap and was I’ll for about 5 days, my hrv cratered to about 40 from 53 and after I got better and my sleep recovered it took about a week to get back in the Green,was a an interesting example of how it works for me
Mine did the same even before I realized I had a cold. Pretty interesting.
well your body is allready fighting the cold probably using energy that isnt used in itherareas so yeah probably makes sense
but the HRV didn't give you any new information. You know that you are sick by yourself.
It would be helpful if you could see it one or two days before.
Had an open heart surgery recently and I'm currently under some medication, but HRV is really low now < 20ms and previously had a normal range of 42-56ms. What is truly odd is stress levels and intensity minutes. Offered on Garmin support to flag my peculiar case, maybe interesting to study, but they refused politely.
I'm sure the subreddit would be very interested! r/garmin
Got exactly the same issue myself and wont even baseline my HRV now
@@EwanSWinston Still under medication, but after about 2-3 months, the stress levels got down, yet the HRV remains low (~20). Stress levels are a good proxy for stress, infection/inflamation for me.
Will HRV also become low if I stop exercising? For example if I go from 180 BPM to 70 from exercising on Monday compared to 100 BPM to 70 when walking on Tuesday it seems like I would have a smaller HRV for Tuesday.
If you are coming back from a long term injury is it normal to be unbalanced on the high side until you get back into the normal training routine. Does the baseline change over time to accommodate the increased HRV?
Why not have HRV status on the venu2/venu 2 plus series? I want to track my hrv but I totally hate the sporty look of the ones that have the function and they don't have touch screens which is a big minus for me.
For reference, if having problems with Atrial Fibrillation or inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia, the current App (as of 29/08/2023) cannot handle that. You get no Sleep Data at all, and no HRV Data at all.
When are we going to have HRV status on what is still sold as a premium watch at the price of a premium watch ... i.e. the forerunner 945! Not the LTE, the simple 945!
Please, Pretty Please!
Thank you!
Now you guys just need to add on "naps" on ur watches! 🙌🥳😅
my watch detects and logs naps (Venu3)
Mine says I have napped when I haven’t because I’m watching tv and my HR gets low I guess.
@@Trailcat2024 if you don't move it will think that.
Just depends which watch you have. My Venu 2 didn't have it, but my new Epix Pro does.
I have the venu 2. Can I track HRV through the watch or app?
My garmin fenix 6 Pro says its unbalanced at 41ms ,this been the high orange section.
I don't get it
No need for the music 🎶
Did miss the part where she explained what too high or low indicates?
Would it be possible to get the nigth HRV readings from the Oura Ring into Garmin Connect?
Thank you for your question. No, Oura does not communicate with Garmin Connect.
Can you update FR 245 for hrv thanks!
I’ve found that the stress tracking which uses HRV is a sure fire way to tell if I’m having an AFib episode. When I am, the graph is pure high stress over 75% for hour after hour.
How do you know you have AFib? Does it corelate with ECG?
What could be the reason for spikes in HRV which lead to high and unbalanced HRV?
as they mention in the video, this could be due to any number of factors, including but not limited to: too-rapid increase of training load, poor sleep, illness, alcohol consumption
I live in Austria and just got a epix pro gen 2, I’m really mad the ecg function isn’t working here and I’d like info on when it will come or I send the watch back
I live in the USA and most likely the answer to this is that they are going through some kind of regulatory process that is controlled by the government and has no real timelines. That would be my guess. You may want to ask if they actually are even working to enable it in your country.
The music makes it impossible to watch this video
This might be stupid question, but why if my HRV is much higher in compare to my wife for example (120 vs 50), its in general better? Isnt that bad to have heart that beat more irregularly then hearh that is beating more regularly? Not sure if I explain that correctly. Hopefuly somehow understand what I mean :D
At 50-120 msec (1000ths of a second) average variability from heart beat to heart beat, it is not really an irregular heart beat as you would have with atrial fibrillation. These variabilities are not perceived by the individual. Greater HRV is a sign of a higher parasympathetic (rest and digest) influence on the heart at rest. Lower HRV is a sign of less parasympathetic and more sympathetic (fight and flight system) influence. We now from empirical data that increased parasympathetic influence is a sign of better shape, cardiovascular health and low stress, including mental as well as better rest (e.g. sleep quality) and vice versa. Many influences can lower HRV including poor sleep, mental stress, physical stress including illness, alcohol, lack of exercise, etc.
Does the baseline HRV built up over the first 3 weeks get continuously adjusted?
As a parent with a newborn my sleep can often be disrupted, so if I have a new Garmin watch that's trying to establish a baseline HRV during this period, is it going to be corrected later when I can finally start getting uninterrupted sleep again? Or would I need to reset the watch and build up a new baseline?
Congratulations on your newborn and thank you for your question. While 3 weeks is the minimum amount of time needed to gauge your personal baseline, the analysis can utilize a few months of data to strengthen and validate your baseline range when that amount of data is available. Ultimately the more you wear your device over time, the more data is collected and the more accurate your numbers will be.
@@GarminRetailTraining I am currently ill and it will probably take at least 4 weeks to recover. How does the watch calculate the HRV when I start? Will it create a baseline based on the data that is *wrong* because of the illness or is there a different way to do it?
And considering the charts, does the App show very precise data like Firstbeat does in their charts, where you can identify quite clearly what happened at a certain time so one can identify what the reason for that change can be?
Hi I've had a garmin 965 for around a year, the first 6 months I was abstaining from coffee whilst trying to figure out why I was getting migraines but my HRV status was around 50 after deciding coffee wasn't the contributing factor to my migraines I restarted drinking it and ever since my HRV status has show as unbalanced.
My watch keeps saying I need more rest, but I feel fine.
So my question is, should I cut back on coffee or reset my watch ..is coffee really that bad that I'm not receiving enough from drinking it.
Really interesting, thanks for sharing. Coffee increases stress hormones, so it kind of makes sense. I have been thinking of quitting myself! If you feel better without it, why not keep off it?
Hi all! I'm seeing HRVs for other garmin users like 60, or even 80. But mine is around 30 and I'm a male, 40yo, 60kg, moderate runner and have 8+hours of sleep. Anything to be worried about or how to improve HRV?
Don’t compare your number to another persons. It’s individual to YOU; maintaining a balanced HRV is what matters in conjunction with your baseline, not someone else’s.
Mine HRV range is 36-49, I am 43 yo, 88kg, no worries!
Thanks, what I'm really seeing is that not eating late makes HRV go up so I'll climb that way )
I tend have a good overall HRV if I avoid late food and have a Green tea before bed. Also, if training load is high your HRV could be low for the next few days. Daily stress also effect your HRV. Don’t compare to anyone and enjoy and live a healthy life.
Nope. Your number is your number. Try and improve it. Worrying about it makes it worse. Lol!
I love my Epic Gen 2 watch, but the thing is a big, bulky, watch. I tried to sleep with it on, and it just wasn't comfortable, at all. (I also have issues getting my dress shirt sleeves to go over it.) So, my one suggestion (now that I can get heartrate in the pool while I swim without a chest band), is make the watch thinner, and smaller. Then, I might be able to take advantage of the HRV status.
They call it the Venu 3
@@evanluke3761 I loose some critical pool swimming features if I were to switch to the Venu 3.
Should have bought a didn't watch. I have the Epix Pro 51mm and have no problem sleeping with it so to each his own I guess.
Do a high number unbalanced and low number unbalanced mean the same? Any difference between higher and lower unbalanced?
That's an excellent question! We published a follow-up video earlier this year that touches on this very thing. Here's a link to that video that should bring you directly to that segment: czcams.com/video/lwvOPr3GxxI/video.html
@@GarminRetailTraining got it. Thanks for the reply
I am unable to understand the basics of what u r saying?
Can I get hrv readings using my Garmin heart rate monitor? I have the Fenix 7x but it’s a bit large to wear to bed every night.
You can use the health snapshot to get on request HRV but unfortunately unless you wear it to bed you will never get a baseline and all your fitness calculations will be inaccurate.
@@islamegy thanks. That’s disappointing to hear. I enjoy my fenix but wearing it to bed every night time gets uncomfortable.
@@jknight526 Yes I struggled to sleep with my Fenix 6 (not even x) and most days I was taking it off in the middle of the night so I replaced it with FR955, looks cheaper but much lighter, less bulky and doesn't have the metal edges protecting screen like Fenix. I sleep with my FR955 on a daily basis comfortably.
Hiding HRV "behind the scenes" in a proprietary "stress" metric was a dumb move. You should update HRV to ALL watches. FR 255 is too large for some of us, even my Vivoactive 3 gets in the way.
HRV should also be tracked during day time so we can see what causes a significant change at a certain time!
What model watches have HRV?
I have the original Instinct Tactical and do not see HRV on connect app!?
The newer instinct does hrv. I don't know about the 2. I know For sure the instinct 1 doesn't have it.
@@Jay-sd9ye thank you much appreciated!
Soo, you guys get your HRV in 50-70 range? Wonder if my 35 balanced means my heart is not doing great by default.
Same for me, just added a question here in comments
No, with HRV you should only compare to your own baseline, not compare with others
@@xenonsens ok, thanks
Is this compatible with fenix 5x?
on-going HRV Status isn't available on that device, however with an HRM chest strap, you can perform an on-the-spot HRV Stress test
is it available on fenix 5 ?
Thank you for your question. No, the fenix 5 is not compatible with the HRV Status feature.
I'm trying to understand HRV on my Venu 2 plus. If I read general literature, higher HRV scores are considered better. And training literature talks about improving (ie raising) your HRV number. But with Garmin, am I correct that lower is better because the Garmin is giving you a number that represents interpreting your HRV as a stress level? So, if you are lower stress that's good, and Garmin gives you a (preferable) low number. In actuality though, your HRV is then higher (which is considered good)???? This is very confusing since everything I read says high HRV is better but Garmin gives you a (HRV related) score where lower is better????
As mentioned @ 0:50 a lower HRV is generally an indication of a more stressed state. So, inversely, a high HRV means lower stress.
@Wari Wahab My 7day HRV is around 40ms. But watch is always showing low stress 😂
@liquidh5226 not sure about your baseline, since it can vary from person to person. Mine is 60 to 90, my brother's at 29 to 40. So your 40 might be just right. Anyway, HRV is only collected when you're sleeping, and awake, it's represented as stress
My Garmin watch says an Harv of 25ms is healthy and in the green zone but everyone else says that is low and u healthy. What is going on Garmin?
Mine is also in the 20s but I run ironmans. Hrv is entirely individual
@@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle I’m also an Ironman too. Also run ultras. HrV stays in the dumps no matter how recovered I am.
Same issues as others. Mine averages 26ms. I'm a runner and cross train outside of my runs. Confused by the data.
HRV is individual to YOU, it’s not a metric that you compare to others and that gives any indication on how fit you are (like VO2max or sometimes resting heart rate)
Don't compare. Just keep in the green for your numbers
You may be overtraining.
Measurements on the wrist are PPG and not a not a true HRV value. Way too many variables can throw off a measurement.
Garmin’s own manuals say use a chest strap for HRV.
The heart sensor is not accurate enough
I have become neurotic since I bought this bloody watch , every aspect of my life is determined by my sleep pattern and body battery, after a crap night my BB was 27 and I planned a 47 mile ride , ended up having the best ride of the year, so much for my body battery, ps turn off the music it sounds like you left the radio on in the next room
My fenix 6 has read my HRV as 30 (avg) over several months. I’m 44, relatively active, eat well. This metric is so alarming I think about it all the time because 30ms is suppose to be for someone way older. I recently purchased a polar h10 hrm (chest strap) and in 1 reading it was 44 (a lower normal, but not as alarming as 30). My message to Garmin: get it right or don’t offer it as a feature, just to sell a product. You’re scaring people into thinking we have serious medical issues.
How do you know Garmin is incorrect and Polar is correct, out of interest?
I have been using Elite HRV with polar H10 long time before garmin introduced it and I agree with you it's not that accurate on my Fenix 6 but I recently bought FR955 2 weeks ago and I think the HR monitor improved a lot on this one, still build the HRV baseline and will see how accurate i will measure it. I wouldn't compare the numbers to elite HRV but instead I'm more interested in how it reflects how I feel.
Re: 30ms for someone your age vs. older - I don't think it works that way, it doesn't make sense to compare person to person that way.
HRV is individual from person to person. It’s only interesting to compare your own values against your own, see the trend and see if you have any deviations from baseline (could be overtraining, sickness or more stress)
Garmin isn’t the problem here, it’s you.
Problem is that it only works if you weare the watch also during night. Enduro2 is to heavy for a good sleep. Thats my problem.
Been wearing the Enduro 2 for about a week. No problem for me after the first night.
What do you do during the night that makes the watch ‘too heavy’ to wear during sleep? Do you do bicep curls as you sleep or something? I’ve been wearing mine for six month and had no problems.
Why does this video have music? Super distracting.
Which garmin watches support this?
Thanks for your question. Below is a link where you can find our watch compatibility list for this feature.

Great video. Thanks. I sent it to the women in my life that I’m always boring with my obsession with AH, PH and BJ!
After a month of calculating, Garmin 255 assumed my "balance" HRV is about 39-40 which is alot slower than my friend (who has 60-70). Is that normal?
Yes everyone is very different. You have your own zone and it's purely for you. I am very fit and active but mine is around 35. It always has been. Don't ever compare HRV
@@jimmylittleuk thats strange because for an average fit adult hrv should be above 60 not in the 40’s range and these numbers go aganist what garmin hrv levels should be maybe ur overtraining and not allowing adequate rest?
@@asianboss6355 that's a myth. Don't compare. My "green zone" is between 34 - 42.
@@jimmylittleuk ok cool but does the watch or app still detect if ur fully rest or exhausted? So if ur exhausted than ur HRV should dip to low 10’s or 20’s?
@@asianboss6355 yeah I go amber if I am sub 34. Never been red but I would guess it would be under 30 for me. It bases it on your normal. But very individual
Three of us did 27 km hike and my watch showing 23.2 and rest two watch are around 27 .My concern is that why my watch showing less kms.
check your GPS settings and ensure you have multi-satellite mode enabled (if you have a newer watch that supports this multi-band feature)
Jammy Music. Love it.
Good instructional video harmed by distracting music. Whoever's decision that was should be fired.
Esse boné 🧢 e estranho.
Really informative but the music is dreadful , like a bad P….o Movie!
My stress level skyrocketed... Horrible music. No music please.
Not very scientific having a manager educate the public on a health related topic....
So if I have a Venue SQ which is NOT hrv compatible, jow then dud you use hrv in the stress measurement? Doesn't make sense.
Thank you for your question. This can be a confusing topic for sure. Let's start with saying there is a difference between HRV and HRV Status. HRV is the variability between heartbeats, while HRV Status is a feature we added to show how your body is recovering to the demands you are putting on it - whether it be balanced, unbalanced, or low. Your Venu SQ analyzes your heart rate variability while you are inactive to determine your overall stress. Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your stress level. With that said, stress can negatively impact your HRV Status. Here is a CZcams short we did to help simplify the difference between the two. I hope this helps.

i think the best approach is to listen to your body and not a gadget on your wrist
My Fenix detected that something was off, way before I started to feel anything.
You’re right, fuck pacemakers and ventilators too! Rise up against the machines brother!! ✊
It is really useful to detect food sensitivities, it has a higher sensitivity in some cases.
