It is fair enough to question its usefulness but there are many metrics of more questionable merit visible in Connect, the much beloved HRV for example.
larkim Feb 2023 6:56am, 22 Feb 2023 20,296 posts	larkim Yup, and it's captured whether you view it or not. Sorry, I thought (still do tbh!) this was ambiguous; on my watch at least if I leave it for two minutes it beeps and then just displays the recovery data. My reading of what you posted was that it captures it even if you don't wait for the display to appear which would be different.
SPR Feb 2023 7:32am, 22 Feb 2023 39,619 posts	SPR Newer watches you have to go and view it otherwise it's never displayed just recorded. As a follow on from your post, Badger's makes sense if you have a newer watch (I actually forgot how the older watches worked till you mentioned it).

SPR Feb 2023 7:42am, 22 Feb 2023 39,621 posts	SPR I'm still amazed that Garmin use a 30 min average for resting HR. Even a 10 min average feels long.

My reading of what you posted was that it captures it even if you don't wait for the display to appear which would be different. That makes sense. I was driving at what SPR said, current models don't automatically display it, and thought it was obvious that your watch wasn't going to record a two minute drop if you don't wait two minutes to save the file.
larkim Feb 2023 8:35am, 22 Feb 2023 20,297 posts	larkim I'm on a 645, it beeps and then shows the data. How do newer ones work then? Presumably they still only record it if you've waited the 2 minutes before hitting "save"?
SPR Feb 2023 8:46am, 22 Feb 2023 39,622 posts	SPR It's available as menu item on the watch after stopping activity. You can watch it countdown the two minutes and see the HR during that time and then it beeps when done. Otherwise you can just save after two minutes without viewing.
