Understanding Stress Level tracking on your Garmin - Garmin® Retail Training

[@changez77654]

Managing stress is great - but its even better to address the matters causing the stress in the first place. I use my Garmin Stress Score to do a self check and identify matters that caused me to get stressed out and take actions to address those root causes.

[@nicktube3904]

Basically the reason why I ordered one today. And not forgot the body battery. I have chronic fatigue syndrome, hopefully this will give me insights.

[@GamerGrit86]

this explanation of the stress section was as useful as a chocolate teapot

[@ep6606]

Where can I buy a chocolate teapot? I love chocolate!

[@seanmurphy2365]

A chocolate teapot is at least useful as a novelty chocolate gift. This video just wasted my damn time.

Stop talking shit

If anything's making me stressed it's the constantly looping, never ceasing, mind numbing guitar loop in the background

[@cottonpatch2000]

Agreed. Our culture is melting away

[@CJHBC]

How can you decide stress levels working from heart rate alone? Surely if I am working out my heart rate is high = stressed? Is a score of 95 whilst sitting at the work desk purely related to my heart rate? I can’t compute how you relate stress to pulse rate alone? Clarification would be great! Thanks love the watch

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Those are great questions. Your stress score is calculated not just from heart rate, but heart rate variability or HRV. There are a lot of algorithms involved and the explanation can be somewhat intricate, so I am providing the following link for reference.........support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=04pnPSBTYSAYL9FylZoUl5. From this page, scroll down to "How does your body manage your HRV?" I hope this helps.

[@sweetauroramae4874]

LOVE YOUUU Thank you for helping us get on top of our stress levels

[@jazic82]

I came here because my stress is high a lot of the day and I just need an affirmation that it was relatively normal haha.

[@prmygm]

Just bought a Garmin Venu SQ, amazing features very happy with this watch. However, regarding the Stress level feature, I would expect a sort of alert function telling me my stress level is high, instead of me checking the app. Do you think you can implement an alert on the next update? Thank you!

[@dmann111]

My watch has stress alerts. I have a vivoactive 4. I had to turn the option on somewhere.

[@flatheadfletch]

Fenix 5X+ for 3 years 24hrs a day. Most work days it between 70-90. That’s a 24hr period and only showing 20-30 min in the blue. Should I be worried ? My off days stress is 60-80 with only two to 3 hrs of blue while sleeping !

[@SMSBJM1981]

The moment I wake up my stress levels is 50 or higher.

[@miskav1]

Mine too. What we will do about it? I' am searching about the answer

[@ashfigueroa]

Same!!! I thought it was due to my tattoos but I cant possibly be stressed at all times lol can i???

[@NickBEADG]

The breathing exercise takes 137 years to complete

[@BB-rw5yf]

I think I’m very laid back, I don’t often feel emotional stress, but Garmin is telling me that I have stress, I know I have high blood pressure, which I take tablets for, but I am not stressed by that. In fact the watch saying I was stressed made me feel stressed. I’d like to turn this off actually if can I? I like all the other features but would like to have the feature that notices if you have arterial fibrillation, I believe in America that the Garmin Venu 3 has this enabled, why not in the uk. Thanks I’d like to know if it will be switched on for us in the uk.

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. If you are referring to the Relaxation Reminder that is associated with high stress levels, below is a link for turning the Relaxation Reminder on/off. support.garmin.com/?faq=iLx2XZQdfn9fNNu2AXq6a5#:~:text=Press%20and%20hold%20the%20Menu,on%20or%20off%20Relax%20Reminders.

[@PEKOPINK123]

Nice music piece at the ending part of this video

[@alsa3644]

Hi, has the garmin vivomove sport got the breathing exercise? I want to get the garmin vivomove sport mostly to track the sleep as it is the most accurate in garmin selection for sleep tracking. Thanks

[@Maruhodo]

Your choice of making the background music that high of a volume is stressing me out.

[@mogglie]

No offence but this video could start at 1:30 😊 That long intro is redundant.

[@lssnbrg]

I don't understand what switching the camera angles back and forth was good for

[@KusiuStunt]

is all this stress monitoring working well if i don't wear the watch while sleeping but only throughout the day ?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The short answer is yes, stress monitoring will still work. Wearing it during sleep, however, will create a better understanding of the full range of your stress vs. relaxation states since stress levels are typically lowest during sleep. For more information on stress tracking, take a look at the following link. I hope this helps. www.garmin.com/garmin-technology/health-science/stress-tracking/

[@Plenavida2007]

Hello, I have a Garmin Epix Pro 2. Is-it possible to set up an alarm when the stress level is high ?

[@marguaritetherese3156]

The stress score is crap. I've been knitting all evening with no worries and my stress score is high. Do better.

[@sweetauroramae4874]

How in tune with your body are you? Perhaps you knit because you're stressed lol

[@synchron9019]

The Garmin measures Stress perfectly.

[@MsAmira1988]

3:39 is so LOL

[@mbb9836]

Hello, I have used my Forerunner 255 for 2 months now. Where do I find the breath exercises on my watch?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The Breathwork activity is started from the stress level glance. Below is a link to instructions. I hope this helps. Using the Stress Level Glance link - www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-676967A0-1B23-4384-9BC9-76F3D643F1C8/EN-US/GUID-DD8EE575-CC72-4829-B4C8-4BE1F8D3473E.html

[@BillEvans1956]

Why can’t I get these metrics from my Edge 1030 Plus?

[@brandilynnw5410]

Can we address the "immeasurable stress" somewhere on Garmin. What does it mean? You're so stressed they cannot measure it? It says it at work when I am in the weeds, when walking my Chihuahua and a pitbull comes out and when my faucet exploded in my kitchen. I mean obviously it's extra high stress but why can't Garmin measure it or at the very least acknowledge what it means?

[@joshthielbar1]

The stress score is better than nothing, but is there a way I can see the HRV number?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Depending on your device compatibility, there are several HRV apps in the Garmin Connect IQ store.

[@daniellep2715]

@@GarminRetailTraining what do you mean device compatibility? Can I use it with the vívoactive® 4S I just ordered?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

@@daniellep2715 Yes, there are a few HRV apps in the Connect IQ store that are compatible with the vivoactive 4S. Some are free and some require purchase.

[@jameswaters5888]

Very valid comments on useless content video that is more interested in giving the presenter a narcissistic satisfaction instead of presenting useful content for the user.

[@alexwalsh1020]

Hi. I bought a garmin device solely for the stress tracking but it doesn’t show any data and constantly says ‘check watch fit’. Please help

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Please reach out to our Product Support Team to assist with this. They can be reached at support.garmin.com or 800-800-1020.

[@AXC629]

#Garmin the stress level is derived from the time in between heart rate intervals so it seems the heart rate is just as good as the stress levels. No disrespect meant but the stress level seems a bit gimmicky. Your rep in this video keeps saying stress when he could just use heart rate. Is your heart rate high because you are exercising just as your stress level is high because you are exercising then take a break and spend some down time recovering, drink some water to hydrate, and be sure to snack healthy to help maintain your body. Knowing this the stress level is not needed ever but the heart rate is!

[@tomsweeney9424]

Nice video and great about breathing exercises which is probably the best thing you can do for stress, but they don't explain how they get the stress number they give you. They say it is based on HRV, which would be a good thing, if true, but the fact that they don't have a HRV number to give you puts the lie to that. I don't know what combination of numbers/values/data they mix together to give you their stress number, but if they can't tell you, can't give you the formula they used to arrive at that number it is worthless. They are like the Mighty Wizard in the Wizard of Oz - Don't look behind the curtain.
