Q: QuestionDoes this watch track heart rate variability?

Asked 3 years ago by Alex.

This question was asked about the related product: Garmin - vívoactive 4S GPS Smartwatch 40mm Fiber-Reinforced Polymer - Rose Gold/White

• A:Answer Yes. Heart Rate Variability and Stress Level Your device analyzes your heart rate variability while you are inactive to determine your overall stress. Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your stress level. The stress level range is from 0 to 100, where 0 to 25 is a resting state, 26 to 50 is low stress, 51 to 75 is medium stress, and 76 to 100 is a high stress state. Knowing your stress level can help you identify stressful moments throughout your day. For best results, you should wear the device while sleeping. You can sync your device with your Garmin Connect account to view your all-day stress level, long-term trends, and additional details.
