The stress level is a wellness function found on the majority of Garmin smartwatches. Garmin customers can utilize this tool to keep track of their current level of stress using Heart Rate Variability.
Garmin watches that track stress use the user’s heart rate data to determine the interval between each heartbeat. The autonomic nervous system in the body regulates the time interval between each heartbeat.
An increase in variability suggests that you are under stress, while a reduction in diversity indicates that you are under stress.
When your stress level is high, breathing exercises are the finest thing you can do. Fortunately, some Garmin watches will notify you if a high-stress score is recorded.
Are Garmin stress levels accurate?
Garmin stress readings are only as accurate as the sensor and how constant the results are. Wearing your device both day and night for an extended amount of time is recommended to achieve accurate findings. What happens if you are under too much stress?
