How do you see those two things as different?
I’m just observing the data at the moment to gain any insights from it.
I’ve used various HRV tools in the past (HRV4Training, Elite HRV, Apple Watch with this Athlytic Pro Bullshit app), but none of these apps could break down my HRV in a way that I really understand.
I have to clarify that Garmin looks much better, the feature is still relatively new, so more data is needed over a longer period of time, means you have everything in the same eco-system, in third-party apps you have to import your data through others Third-party apps and then some of the data is wrong, such as B. HRV4Training via TrainingPeaks via Garmin and so on.
One thing I do to try and anticipate the next few days is to look mainly at the 7day average (HRV4T’s) baseline and see if the trend is up or down. Generally if its down I assume I’m heading for fatigue and just back off a little. Quite subjective really though. one thing I’ve found though I tend to get a 24 hour delay in the HRV to a long hard ride.
If you mean the user experience, I’ve noticed this too. I’m an Apple fanboy, but I find the health related metrics of the Apple Watch really confusing – seems like form over function. I’ve switched to wearing my Garmin Fenix 7 exclusively and I find the health metrics data much more intuitive, both on the watch and in the Connect mobile app. The Apple Watch is sitting in a drawer.
