Watch,, it!! Health, exercise etc.

I do absolutely see how a high regular heartbeat corresponds to a lower HRV. There’s less time between beats for measurable differences to occur.

It’s a bit disappointing that a Fancy Watch isn’t reliable for my (current) HR and HRV, which means that to some extent I can’t believe numbers for sleep stages, cardiac recovery time, and all the other functions that are derived from basic measurements. I guess I’ll see if any of these change after the ablation. That oughta screw up the trends reports!
Just stop it. Lol. You've got me confused now. Are you agreeing with me in that first paragraph? Lulz. I can't tell.

And are you sure your watch is wrong? I mean when you told me yours was as high as it was I thought it was a typo so I looked it up and crazy as it seems the normal range was like between 30-270 or something similar, too lazy to go look for the exact numbers.

All that said, I've got enough on my plate trying to figure mine out, I don't have time to try to figure yours out. Lol. Not that you asked me to, I'm just sayin.
 
Looked anyway and don't see it. But saw this and this is what I've been going by before you told me about yours.

tl;dr -

Haha, sorry to mess with your mind. It wasn’t intentional.

I looked at my online history today, and I looked at these sites:


Heart rate variability: How it might indicate well-being - Harvard Health (linked earlier)

Somewhere in all that was the explanation of why low HRV is linked to high HR, if the heart is in normal rhythm. So that’s how I understood what you were saying: it makes sense for people with normal rhythms, even if rates differ. (I also read a half dozen peer-reviewed journal articles, which I don’t recommend to anyone; they hurt the head.)

I like to do health searches on sites like Harvard Health, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and John’s Hopkins Medicine. I lean on them because they are published by established medical groups (they are generally .org, not .com - they’re not trying to sell me something), they are written for laypeople with a minimum of jargon, and they’re reviewed by physicians.

I don’t look at any AI-generated results.

I’m not familiar with Rupa Health, a dot-com. I have never seen 200 ms listed in a normal range. Maybe it is; I’ve just never come across it. That one really made me jump. The company seems to sell lab services to consumers and to providers.

I don't pay much attention to websites I'm not familiar with, but I showed you that one because that's where I saw the 200 ms.

I don't have the patience to read most of the stuff you probably read. I look for key words or numbers and go from there.

All I'm really concerned with is keeping my HRV (according to Garmin) between 38-45. I wouldn't have even brought this up if the Samsung wasn't confusing me.

Moving right along, now let's talk about Vo2max.

Lulz, I kid. It's even more confusing.

What’s Garmin give for normal range for your age and sex? That’s all I’d pay attention to. They know how their numbers are crunched.

Mine was 40 Monday morning, but I've pushed hard this week and it's dropped, but I expect it, my HRV and stress to all fall back in line in the next couple of weeks. Hoping so anyway.

Haven't paid any attention to charge time between the 2 until tonight.

Samsung was at 74%
Garmin was at 41%

Put them both on the charger at the same time 8:45. Garmin just now hit 100%. Samsung is on 98%.

Last charged the Samsung this morning. Last charged the Garmin Wednesday night.
 
Took both off the chargers at 100% at 10.

Right now..
Samsung 84%
Garmin 98%

Samsung 1519 steps
Garmin 1139

Lulz. I saw someone familiar from VN posting under the same username as here on a Garmin message board. I responded to their comment about not getting to run enough with "you spend too much time on VN". My username is Guest.

Lol.

As far as steps go, I have a "track" that I measured with a measuring wheel. 15 times around it on the line is Exactly 1 mile. At the average normal pace I walk I average 134 steps a lap.

Both watches give me steps and distance. I do the math every night that I don't run to see which one is closest. It's the best and only way I could think of to get close to accurate numbers to compare without actually counting every step.

Garmin is always most accurate. Most of the time it's not even close.

I do a similar exercise with calories. Garmin is also closest to it "should" be.

Imma guess it's mikey and that you dun pissed him off on the garmin bored
 
Garmin does all that too.

Biggest drain on the Samsung is the display and bloatware.
Speaking of display, they've gone bright mode on some things and you can't change them, it's what Samsung has now set. Annoying.

I have no idea what you speak of. On the watches or phones? I know they measure brightness in Nits and the new Samsung boasts 3000. The 6 down to the 4 are 2000. Garmin Oled are 1000. Me taking a picture of them side by side does no justice. The Samsung is bright, colors deep and so defined and clear and beautiful.

But you pay for that with battery.

Garmin gets it done though. It's not a big deal unless they're side by side.

The watch. The background of some things are now bright green - the selection of exercises for example. It used to be gray or black.

If so, It's been like that since the 4 at least.
 
Yes, and nope, mine just changed over a couple months ago. Kevin's changed a couple weeks after.
All of mine have been green since the 4. I thought the active 2 was as well but I can't remember. Strange.

If they allow us to customize other parts of the watch, why not this, too? I've gotten used to it now, but liked the dark colors better.
