HRV recording consistently scoring 26...
-
@Neil-McElroy My range is given as 72-85ms. I guess on average I get a 80,81 but obviously with some variation. Recently, after having couple of drinks, I got a 53ms in that night.
Couple of days before, I was feeling like I was about to get sick. When I checked HRV for the night before, I had 71ms. Arguably, it’s not that much below the minimum of the range but as I scored usually 80s I thought it matches the bad feeling I had on that day (might be confirmation bias).

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen That’s good to know. However the true rMSSD value in milliseconds is still shown in the app. That’s the big difference with what sport watches are doing. Elite HRV is fully transparent as to the data it records.

@maszop actually quite a useful thread there. Highlights the challenge comparing different methods. Indeed in elitehrv u can see the rmssd value which in theory should be the most relevant comparison to suunto. Again I believe the best option would be for suunto to enable users to take their own measurements through an app, allowing us to take a morning test ourselves. I’m a bit sceptical about overnight readings for a number of reasons but a chest strap measurement through the watch would be a really useful feature.
@maszop I get your point about comparing suunto and elitehrv score and u r quite right that they r different metrics, however the elite rmssd is a useful metric to use. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit, I did not realise elitehrv was shifting the measurement into their own scale for their score. So I learnt something new! -
@TED77 But generally, the number itself doesn’t matter, nor do these types of comparisons.
If the trend or graph is more or less the same in both tools, the difference in numerical values can simply be ignored. -
@Neil-McElroy - Neil did you ever find a resolution here? Did readings normalize? Jut got a new Suunto and since using have had 3 identical readings in a row.

@Joseph-Fox get drunk and check again next morning

@Joseph-Fox For the past 3 months I’ve been sleeping every night with Garmin Fenix 8 and Suunto Vertical 2 (which has the same sensor as the Suunto Race 2).
In absolute terms there’s a 4–5 point difference, but the trend is practically identical.
If your value is always flat, the device might be bugged.

@Manuel-Extreme - yeah mine is Vertical 2 as well actually. Just stumbled upon this thread when trying to research the issue. It’s only 3 days old, so it’s only been three nights, but it is definitely completely flat, 48 MS every night so far. Gonna give it a night or two more and if it doesn’t start showing some variation might do factory reset, if that doesn’t work, probably getting returned.

@Manuel-Extreme - yeah I have the vertical 2 as well. its only been about 3 nights of the flat data ( only had the watch for 3 days)… going to give it a few more days to see if I can get some variation. If not, going to try a factory reset. may even return if that doesn’t work, which would be shame because I love the watch.
