@mountainchris the Body Battery function primarily helps to understand when it is possible to increase the load after an illness. Itās always works. It happens that a week after the illness you feel good, you do a light jog and the watch shows stress at times stronger after it. Then it is clear that you need to rest for another day or two, and then run again easily and compare the result with the previous one.
Hereās an example of what the stress charts looked like during my last illness in October 2021 (it was covid-19):

October 13: woke up and felt fine. A simple hike of 17 km was planned for this day, but there was rain and a fairly strong wind. After looking at the readings of the Body Battery, I decided that I would not go on a hike (the experience of using the watch said that they should be trusted). By lunchtime, the temperature rose and the state of health worsened.

The next day was even more difficult. The graph shows that even at night the stress goes through the roof and the body does not recover. But on the night following it, recovery periods are already appearing (blue color on the chart)

And this is what the data looks like already for October 30, after which I returned to training. Garmin perfectly understands the state of the body and helps to plan the load.
And you can only underestimate this function if you havenāt used it before. And Suunto deceives its users when they claim that their watches can do the same.
They claim a different thing btw. But the metrics are in most watches other than Apple Watch and FitBit on this front are still questionable and almost useless (the tell you what you already know ā¦)
In any case , I really feel that the watch should not be replacing us
