Thank you so much for the Afib tip and the app recommendation! Saved me a ton of time hunting down stuff!!!

Thank you for your afib diagnosis. I can finally turn on afib analysis on my watch.

Thanks for your heads-up how does the Athletic app looks like? There are some app with the Athletic word, wich is the one you are using how those the app links like?

this needs to be a much bigger deal, deserves additional videos, just found out, thanks a lot!

Athletic - The HRV reading favours the mindfulness reading after waking which is only 1 reading - not sure 1 reading can determine training readiness! I also tried doing 5 separate mindfulness readings in the hope it would average out the 5 readings but still the readiness still only used 1 reading. I have the AW5 maybe HRV in this app is designed for AWU ?

Wow! This is great! Still struggling to find something like Garmin Stress, Readiness Score and HRV status. I am enjoying my Apple Ultra but still miss Garmin data. This helps. Thanks.

Does anyone know if you should have "Prioritize Sleep or Mindfulness HRV" toggled on or off?

Nice video. Thanks for putting this video together. I’m using the workoutdoors app and really enjoying the extra data and understanding what it all means

this is really good thank you now I just gotta figure out how to improve my recovery. I just am finishing my exercise recovery certification and trainer bodybuilding specialist etc these are very valuable things.

thanks so much for this video. I started doing this a couple days ago and noticed that the amount of readings is very incosistent. Some nights I have like 20, on other nights only 5 readings. Anyone an idea how to change that?

When I go into the Heart app on the watch I scrolled down but it doesn’t let me turn it on.

If I wear my Apple Watch throughout the day and night, would you recommend deleting HRV entries that were taken outside of sleeping? It seems if you said it takes it many many more times when Afib is turned on, I would imagine I would have to delete a lot of entries….. Thanks!

If we wear our AW all day , do we still need to delete our aFib data when we wake up? Will this mess up the data if we don’t?

So glad I found this video. I love AW for the accuracy, but the feedback from that data it collects felt a little lacking compared to Fitbit and Garmin. This is is perfect solution. Thank you!

Thank you very much ,it’s weird how Apple don’t have stress defector app ,while cheaper watches do have

Thank you for sharing this info!!

What’s the DOWNSIDE of erroneously turning on your Afib history when you don’t have it? Doesn’t this have any downside to any other metrics ?

Very helpful tip. Thank you. Have you noticed whether turning on Afib has any effect on any other heart rate readings? Resting heart rate, heart rate during workouts etc? Does the app makes assumptions that may skew those data points?

Thank you very much. You helped a lot. God bless you.

That is awesome! Thanks for the pointers on turning it on. I just started trying out Athlytic.

Great video Hunter!

What do we look for in HRV?

THANK YOU always wanted to know how to activate more measurements (and thought there‘s no way to do that). Why do you value night measurements more than the ones trough the day?

Damn that’s a cool app! Thanks again for a cool video

Thanks!

Very good review, “ACTUALLY.” 😎

Hi, love your podcast channel, its the best. Question: can a polar H10 strap be used all night to record HR abd HRV while sleeping with a Garmin Fenix 6 Watch? Thank you

Thank you so much. I didn’t not know turning on AFib history would increase HRV readings! Have Athlytic and Training Today already. Can’t believe it took me this long to find out.

Great review. Are you going to review the Oura ring?

Great video thanks. May I ask what Sleep you would recommend on top or do you simply go with just Apple health sleep?

I wonder if anyone has or will do some kind of comparison with Morpheus, this is awesome!

Do u have a link to the App you talk about. Athletic... something ? Thank!

With a lot of user's getting 72+ hours of use does that paired with athlyetic make it enough for someone who is on the fence of Fenix 7 to switch to an Ultra? I have had an Apple Watch for a long time and currently wear that and a whoop and would like to go down to one device.

But does Athlytic provide you with training load and aerobic/anaerorobic effect like Garmin does?

What watch/tracker would you suggest instead of Apple Watch for better stress/nervous system/sleep/activity tracking?

A great informativ vid , how long does it take until you get accurate HRV readings after turning the Afib notification on . And what about skin -temp . Does it also need a baseline measurement in order for it to work Cheers

Thank you for this. Since Athlytic knows when you’re sleeping, based on the sleep app that you told it to use, it can’t just automatically pull HRV recordings in from your sleep window? Or will it just pull in all HRV recordings from over the past 24-hours or since midnight? I’m just wondering if it’s necessary to circle back and delete all the non sleeping HRV recordings.

Stumbled over the video as a fresh AWU owner. Great video btw! I haven’t seen it so I though I ask it myself: do you know how the change will influence the battery time on the AWU? Thx 🙂

What’s the app mentioned in 4:54? Is it Athletic App or Primary App couldn’t seem to find it in Apple store. Does anybody know?

Hi. What happens if I get a fib, when not diagnosed in past when we turn on this. Will it still be able to detect afib on undiagnosed person. Or will it be more likely that we get some false readings. Apple do not warn us before we had about 10 afib episodes to rule out false messages. Can we revers this setting back to as never diagnosed before when we change this as in the video

Looks like this may have changed? Mine is there but cant be turned on. Tells me to go to health but then says I have to been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation by a doctor, when I toggled that as "yes" says I dont have enough data and doesn't let me turn it on

your HRV seems a bit low to me. did you get ur microbiome analysis done by any chance? it could be that you're low in bifido and lacto (a LOT of people are since 2020) - if so see if oral butyrate pills make your HRV go up. it should happen within a day if you're low. methylated B 9/12 may also help your HRV. They seem a bit low in general and I've been going through it myself so decided to leave you a comment. Good luck!

Thank you for the fantastic contents! Garmin's health metrics and analysis are great, but their heart rate and sleep tracking accuracies are below avarage at best. Even some of the much cheap fitbit trackers are more accuarate than Epix 2 and Finex 7 . I hope this is only due to the firmware and it can be updated soon. Frankly, I'm very disappointed and it makes me think twice to relay on some of their metrics.

what is the difference between training today and Athlytic? Athlytic looks to do the same thing!

I’ve turned on afib in the health app but when I go into the watch app, afib is not in there? Any ideas why it’s not there?

Is it true AW is not actualy showing the real time HR on your watchface during the day if the workout is not turned on?

What sleep tracker do you recommend? The native one with apple sucks.

hello what is the other application that allows the analysis of the recovery?

Why do i need to turn on AFIB? It's already showing HRV data without AFIB turned on. Please help me understand.

Curious about these rogue readings. Last night i got around 20-30hrv and as soon as I woke up did a mindfulness session and it recorded 110 hrv. Is that rogue? I’ll see what tomorrow brings… Haven’t activated the afib setting yet.

Do you suggest to delete single data that are outraging when using the Athlytic app? Further, do you think deleting data when not sleeping is necessary while using Athlytic? I thought Athlytic is doing this.

Noticed youve got 2% afib or less over a 24 hour period there. Does this kean you had one or the other heart flutter or does this take the occasional PAC or ectopic beat into account?

wow - Getting closer to my fenix.

Do you know why the irregular resting heartrate notification (not sure what the English option is called) is not available when you have activated the afib protocol?

So of we use athlytic, we should delete the daytime HRV data, but if we use Training Today, we should keep the daytime HRV data? What if we’re running both apps at the same time?

If I change that I have afib history in the health app can you change it back to “no I haven’t been diagnosed?”

@Fit Gear Hunter do you turn off the Prioritize Sleep or Mindfulness HRV setting?

Nice "hack"! Thanks, must try!

I have AW series 7. When I go to watch app on iPhone it only says AFib history, set up AFib history in health app. In health app there is no way to turn on history and no way to say yes I’ve been diagnosed before.

does not work afib history is greyed out and says it must be setup in Health....

Is there an app that tracks training status like the Garmin watch. I love that feature about garmin

The problem with this is that it doesn’t really tell you much. You need a consistent morning reading to get anything out of HRV analysis. Taking measurements all night tells you nothing and 25% of the readings from AW will be incomplete. On top of that, there has to be some analysis of artifacts. If AW picks up arrhythmias it throws everything off. Better solution is take one measurement using Mindfullness and delete any other daily readings. Then you have a consistent trend.

Do you know how much this change affect battery performance?

Do you find the average nightly HRV to be more accurate than a morning recording using Breathe?

If you turn on afib history, it stops checking for irregular heart rhythm. Is that a good trade off?

Man, that's good. AW arguably better than garmin and whoop for recovery stuff. I like that you still make aw videos even though you prefer garmin.

Can’t find this Athletic app… someone have the link plz?

Do all series of Apple watches do hrv?

Do you have tip for the best stress app for apple watch

When you turn on AFIb tracking and say you’ve previously been diagnosed with AFib, do you eventually get apple health notifications saying, “AFIb History - Over the last week, your heart rhythm showed signs of AFib 8% of the time. The previous week it was 11%.” ?

Really a shame that there's no real-time HRV coherence feedback app that uses AW. Guess I'll spend $150 on a HeartMath Inner Balance. 🙄

When I do this changes, does the Apple Watch still check for AFib in the background?

Athletic sounds very comprehensive, I would like to see the comparison to Polar and Garmin for wearing those watches throughout the day.

After a recent watch update (December 2023), this doesn't seem to be working anymore. The watch is back to only recording a few hrv data points per night. Do you have any insight?

How do you use the Apple Watch 24/7 for the detailed hrv data points if the battery doesn’t last long enough?

I though you were going to bring up my name 😂😂 I told you about training today 6 months to a year ago. 😆 Btw training today and Polar night recharge as well as Suunto Body resources all agree. I took two jabs in one day Covid and Flu and guess what all interpreted HRV correctly

Afib is not available on all regions.

What people need to know is that if you turn Afib on, you will get a weekly report regarding a percentage of time in Afib. The notification will never say 0%. If the watch actually detected Afib you will most likely see a percentage above 2%. If no Afib was detected your weekly notification will read at 2%

It’s not tracking during the day

Curious as to the effect of this on battery

Which apple watch series support this? Thanks 🙏

Nothing beats AW accuracy and sensor quality. Apps of whoop and Garmin are more fitness oriented. Athlytic solves these gaps and thus AW is the best out there for casual athletes like myself. Getting the Ultra this week

Any thoughts on hrv4training?

not working for me, says not supported in my region. very sad. I am from israel.

If i buy the ultra 2 i will activate this. thx

I had 6% AFib, should that be concerning?

By turning this on - do you see any impact on battery life?

Is this a good app? Is it free?

Damn AFib doesn’t available in mother Russia👎

What's your favorite watch, if not Apple?

I think the Apple Watch is useless for HRV. 100% useless, unless I’m doing something wrong. I have a series 7. I look up my overnight data and I get readings from as low as mid 40s and as high as over 300. It’s all over the place. No consistency at all. Anyone have a clue what is wrong with it?

imagine beeing younger than 22 💀

Sorry, This is no correct information. I went into setting in my Apple watch and the menus are not like the one that you displayed. So this information is all wrong.

Typical Apple - assuming customers have limited knowledge. HRV reading should be customisable. It is not a big deal.

Yes its a lot better to have 20 readings instead of 3 sure.. ,but its still useless. Unless it tracks it all the time its absolutely pointless cause it wont be 100 % accurate even if it does it all the time let alone a number of times taking the mid calculation. Apple watch ultra or ultra 2 is still in stone age. You cant track stuff all the time , you dont have stress tracking , you dont have constant HRV tracking during sleep, you cant even manually adjust treadmill distance post workout...cant even do it in Strava , you can only adjust the distance in strava if the workout is a manual input one. Basically its another iphone on your wrist and its absolutely not intuitive when it comes to sports and metrics. Shame its sensor is probably the best on the market when the software is hot garbage. Yes i have it and yes i do compare it to epix pro and its miles behind. I dont even care to have 2 weeks of battery, but to have such good sensor and so poorly executed metrics and capabilities is absolute crime.

Lie and tell big-tech that you have a history of a-fib. What could go wrong?

does It increases the battery usage?

I use to be so in to health and well being until I was diagnosed with cancer

Thanks!
