Vertical 2 resources

@runomatic O.K., and what value do you have set for rest HR?
-
@PetrMisek I’m at 65 there.
Little update: After the long run at the weekend, my resources dropped to 15. I didn’t sleep particularly well, so this morning they went up to 85. So it seems that i’m the lucky guy who don’t have any problems with that.

@runomatic I have set there new value 3 days ago - 50, it my avg HR from last 7 days, but during the day my HR is higher and rersources are going up like when I am resting. I don’t know if the algorithm also uses HRV in this calculations.
-
@PetrMisek the consens in here is to set it about 10bpm higher than you actual resting HR…
-
@runomatic I can also confirm that resources work for me. They tend to be quite high, but go down according to what is happening during the day.

I really think people who are thrilled by the current resources have never used a watch with working resources. I tried my Garmin yesterday. I had a bad night before, and the resources went up only to 66% in the morning (Suunto would nevertheless show me almost 100%). I finished the day, of course, with 5%, that’s the minimum with Garmin. It helped me not to train in the late afternoon, as I was really tired. Suunto would drop during this day mostly from their something 99% to 70%, and would tell me I have still so many resources. When I relax in the evening, it would raise to something 95%. Why not train a bit? The next morning again 100%. How is such data helpful? Garmin’s body battery raises during the day virtually not at all, only during naps 2 or 3%. If you sit down and relax, it either stays the same or rises by 1 or 2%. Suunto can rise at the same time by 10, 20, or even 30 percent, especially if using a hilariously high heart rate.
Another problem with Suunto is that the resources are only in half-hour intervals. Why is that? So, let’s say you are very active for 14 minutes and sit down for the other 16 minutes, this half-hour would show you as inactive or recovering. Why not change it to 5 or 10 minutes intervals?
Let alone, why does the user have to play games with the heart rate of the resources? This has to be automated like Garmin or Amazfit does, it shouldn’t be the concern of the user. No, the current resources of Suunto right now are a joke and not helpful at all.

@jannis That’s a pretty generalised view you’re posting about the Suunto. As I mentioned above, it works for me – just as accurately as it did with my Garmin Epix back then.
And I ask myself: what’s wrong with resources rising again during the day, even if I don’t take a nap? When I’m sitting relaxed on the sofa, it’s definitely restorative.

Race S user here, Resources work ok, but my Epix Pro is another level…
I drank alcohol the other day and Garmin Body battery showed stress well into my sleep time. Real rest started about two hours into my sleep.
Race S has not bothered about this. Resources started to increase steadily about 21:00 as Garmins body battery was still declining. Body battery started to increase shortly before midnight… -
@2b2bff I actually miss the stress measurement feature on the Suunto too. However, the Epix is so uncomfortable to wear while sleeping that I don’t miss it much.

I went cross-country skiing for 2 hours. Average HR for 2 hours was 149bpm (H10 strap). Resources went down pretty quickly (finally
) but i don´t understand red stripe - under load, this was 45 minutes after activity and it is bigger than blue one before it, so resources are going up when I am under load?? Strange
