No VFC data

luke55

You are lucky, over the past 50 days, Hrv tracking worked … 5 times.
The rest of the time, when I wake up, the watch says : no HRV data.
Sleep tracking seems to work correctly, well, at least it gives results.
I already reinitialized the watch, no effect

I contacted Suunto support, no news over the past week.

@luke55, what do you mean with “daily value” for Tuesday/Wednesday? HRV data are evaluated only during the night, thus, taking in account one day, the HRV data are always referred to the night before.

Yesterday morning, so Wednesday, you should have got the HRV data from the night between Tuesday and Wednesday; this morning, you should have got the HRV data referred to the last night, so between Wednesday and Thursday.

@luke55 Could you perhaps try to let someone else wear your watch for a night or two? From the chart you posted it looks that your measured HRV was quite low. Perhaps the algorithm struggles with very low values…

@Matúš
What I mean is:
Tuesday morning, I got a value for the past night, 18ms.
Wednesday, and Thursday as well, I got no value at all, exactly like almost every day since I am wearing the watch.
Look at the screen dump I posted above.
Over 60 days, I got only 5 values, approximately between 12 and 36ms, full stop.
If the watch is able to detect and measure my heartrate, it should be able to measure this HRV as well !

I will ask my wife to take it for the night, and see.

S9PP here and I have HRV values normally around 30/35 (ok, slightly higher than yours, but anyway pretty low…): I do not know if 9PP and Race HRV algorithm or the “minimum thresholds” are different, but for me it works.

If the watch is able to detect and measure my heartrate, it should be able to measure this HRV as well !

During the daytime, does the HR measurement work properly?

I will ask my wife to take it for the night, and see.

@Matúš

Last night, my wife got a value, I will repeat the test to make sure it was not by luck.

@Matúš

My wife again got a value last night.
I tried wearing the watch on the other wrist, or on the inside of the wrist, no change.

Apparently there is something wrong with me, but if this is the case, I wonder why I got some values in the beginning, and why it stopped.

I quite disapointed by Suunto support, no news from them since two week-end now.
I have a ticket open, but apparently they do not care.

Matúš

@luke55, what about her values? Are them very different with respect to the few yours?

luke55

@Matúš

They are both around 20ms, similar to mine…
I think I am just going to stop keeping the watch during the night , since the output is either wrong or just inexistant.

By the way, my wife compared the sleep data given by her watch (Garmin Venu 2) with the data from the Race, they are totally different.
I know the Venu 2 has a good reputation for heartrate and sleep tracking , my opinion is that the Race still requires some improvements on this aspect !

Wait and see

@luke55 Sleep tracking and VFC rely on heart rate for now. I think it’s a bug myself. If you don’t have heart rate tracking enabled then watch will not track sleep. According to the manual sleep tracking is movement based only, however, it cannot track your VFC without tracking your heart rate, which makes sense. I keep heart rate tracking off during the day and turn it on at night before I go to bed and back off again in the morning. I hope this bug gets fixed soon. Very annoying!

some news regarding my hrv measurement.
after the flawless tracking the first 6 weeks, i got problems with the hrv tracking. the last week i had the hrv measurement back. yesterday evening i made the watch strap a tick looser and last night no hrv tracking. sleep and hr where measured. so maybe hrv tracking need a more snug fit fir tracking then hr and sleep. will test it next night.

@Sebastian-Wagner-0

No change on my side, still no HRV and no help from support
Even better, this morning , the Race reported
a correct heartrate …, but a 3 hours siesta fron 23h30 to 02h30 !!!
Is this serious !!

@luke55 I think that has been told that there is a bug affecting some people that will be addressed in the next FW update.

With the more snug fit of the Watch strap. I got my HRV back.
