Hey, just got the new Apple Watch 10. Followed these instructions but the Afib tab seems to have gone to set this up? Not sure how I can go about obtaining a more suitable HRV now and what settings should be set in Athlytic? Thanks
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.
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?
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!
Hey! Sure thing - I believe any AW that can support the new OS, which I believe reaches down to the Series 3 - but if deciding I would go with 6/7/SE - thanks!
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!
Glad it helped! Yes it makes a huge difference. You can get 2-3 samples an hour during the day as well, which also helps apps like training today more effective as well.
Any feedback on this? Am hoping eithet athlytic or training today sorts this out night from day etc and we don’t have to delete files everyday. That would be tiresome
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.
Yes - it auto-pulls the HRV from sleep window Apple Watch feeds it - it all works well now that you can activate more HRV values - before it was not worthwhile honestly
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?
Hey! I don't recommend deleting the daytime HRV, although sometimes it does screw up your recovery score on Athlytic. But yes - HRV in day is crucial for TT.
If I use my watch all day and just turn afib on when I’m about to sleep does this still function in the same manner minus me having to go in and delete daily history??
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
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!
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.
Great question, and so sorry for the delay. I actually don't know if athlytic has updated to the point where it removes outlier data points, but to be safe I would say yes, you should remove the erroneous nightly HRV values every morning. I never really worried about it during the day, because I don't find it correlates to as much directionable advice from the apps, but I guess if you're using Training Today you might want to keep an eye on that as well.
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 ?
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
No, none at all that I could tell. The bottom line is that the Apple Watch is basically a computer so it's running all the time at almost full steam, so it has the same burn rate regardless of anything it seems like
@@fitgearhunter I am trying to figure out why there is such a long duration between readings w/ AFIB selection turned off. Why wouldn't Apple just let it do readings every hour as opposed to 2-3-4hrs between readings if its not impacting battery-life... gotta be some sort of reason. Anyone know?
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?
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?
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?
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.
Yes completely. That is one of the better methods, but it is user dependent, and therefore user error problematic - I would often forget right away, and if you've gotten your and moving if can bring very distorted values, so I found it altogether problematic- and more dependent on a device that tracks continually through sleep, and accurately, to establish clear baseline, and deviation. The AW on the whole just doesn't really do it, even if you activate afib like the video. Tons of erroneous measurements too.
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 🙂
It won't! The AWU is like a constantly running computer, it taking a few measurements actually has super negligible impact on battery life. Thanks for commenting!
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.
That's a great question! Personally, no. I think the dependence on third-party apps to cobble together some version or pieces of what Garmin provides simply and directly every day, coupled with the steel very short battery life, makes it still a long stretch for the AWU to be competitive. BUT. The ability to turn on this new metric, coupled with a little bit battery life, coupled with a more rugged casing (I have always thoroughly hated the regular Apple Watch design, hated) - make it possible to make use of the Apple Watch for the training metrics and the recovery and wellness metrics you may need
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?
@@christophvoelkel9945 yes - but I would recommend reading up on how it changes things more too, especially if it's a real need for you. I know for me it started giving me regular updates that it wasn't detecting any issues, which I hadn't seen before.
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.
Thank you for commenting! Yes there are just not enough readings during the night for it to be useful and you have to rely on the breathing exercise to get a morning measurement. But if you activate afib it will change that, you'll just need to go through and delete erroneous ultra high HRV readings
@@fitgearhunter Thanks for responding Bud and for your great vids. Within Athlytic it says that you should breath normally during the mindfulness session and not to do the deep inhale/exhale as readings would be artificially higher. I did that and it dropped to about 60ish (so roughly half). I since returned my Apple Watch Ultra and sticking with the Garmin. I found with Athlytic every day I was 100% ready to rock. Garmin is a little more challenging to get 100 and I like having that headroom and just overall seems more believable.
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
Yes you just on click the eighth of tracking and he'll go back to out-of-the-box settings. No worries there. But with the setting turned on it will actually track more consistently for any eighth of issues, so the tracking actually goes up, not down
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
Great question- I've actually never tested! But I guess in theory it could once connected to the watch. The only issue would be if the strap sensors get too dry they might lose connection. Hope that helps!
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%.” ?
By my understanding, you may be showing sign of Afib. weekly Afib reading will never show 0%, it will read no less than 2%. Readings above that may be a legit Afib reading.
@@RonnieLAmoureux not sure I follow what you’re saying. Are you saying it will display AFib of less than 2% (not “no less than 2%” as your comment stated), and anything over 2% could be AFib? Or are you saying it will always show a number of above 2%, hence “no less than 2%”, and much higher would be AFib?
@@wstt4 anyone that activates Afib will see no less than 2% on their weekly notification. If one receives the weekly 2% notification and then looks at the health app it would read 2% or less… meaning, most likely no Afib found. If one were to see something over 2%, that could indicate Afib activity has been picked up by the watch. Of course one would want to look into that, check the health app and see what the data suggest.
Sort of! Sorry for delay. Athlytic just looks at nightly HRV for recovery and TT takes the whole day to estimate at any time. I'll mention it in final AWU review. Thanks!
Good question and I don't really know because I do not look at the AFib at all within the watch, it only enables higher frequency HRV tracking only. I actually don't know anything about the fib capabilities within the Apple ecosystem I just know that it has to be turned on to get more frequent HRV tracking
Hey - good question. Mine checks for afib (obviously) and keeps me posted if anything looks weird still - not sure what (if any) features are NOT being checked - I think maybe it just checks for more? Sorry late in responding - just saw I hadn't seen this one.
@@fitgearhunter no worries mate, I’m still new into digging further into fitness and health and still deciding between the fenix 7x sapphire and the AW ultra. Amoled means nothing to me.
@@braddavister137 for fitness and health (from a comprehensive out of the box experience) I don't think it's much of a contest - the 7X wins - especially if you don't care about screen beauty. the Apple Watch Ultra seems more for people who want the full smart watch experience, and to finagle together multiple apps to garner the health and fitness experience.
@@fitgearhunter lol yep that seems to be the consensus. I like the cellular features of apple so I’m thinking a fenix 7x and an Apple Watch 7 or se might be a good combo.
For me, yes for sure. I find that the user dependent exercise of doing the breathe every morning could be skewed by outside factors, whereas the data taken overnight is not. You still have to go in and delete erroneously high values, but I found it to be more reliable and consistent.
@@fitgearhunter Sorry last question! When deleting high HRV do you have a limit that anything above you’ll delete? I have a high HRV and will get about 200ms with the breathe app for good days. During sleep I’ll get a couple data points in the high 200s and 300s so I’m not sure which ones I should be deleting. I appreciate your help!
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?
No I don't and that is a major downgrade for me. That was the one quasi solution that made Apple viable in a world where every device on the market tracks HRV and provides some sort of recovery analysis. That is a huge bummer
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.
Awesome work! Athlytic will help you along the way, but if the opportunity arises in the future you will get much better analysis and details from Garmin
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
Jealous - I delayed to order so it won't be until mid-October. The accuracy for sensors is definitely superior - the absense of analytics, and even those provided by 3rd parties - coupled with the battery life - is what leaves my AW on the charger every day - so far. We'll see what the Ultra holds - I have always hated the AW design and really like the look of the Ultra, so we'll see.
Athlytics gave unusable advice comparing todays data sleeping with AW, to months of old data sleeping without AW. So HRV was always about double of history, so always perfect and useless. Gave up after weeks. Hope they fix it, as it otherwise seems like a good (and expensive) App.
I did! I didn't find it to have much value, for me. It was kind of a neat idea, but I feel Garmin provides the same value, and a lot more - so no extra ring felt needed.
I am trying to only have the heart rate percentage, not the beats per minute displayed on my Apple Watch. I like using percentage rather than beats per minute. I’m hoping that there is a toggle button or option? Like the polar watches. You have an option to display heart rate beats per minute or percentage
Honestly, none of them do. Out of the box you're getting one single measurement every 2 to 3 hours, which in basic terms is not a worthwhile tracking measurement. To use some of the third-party apps the best situation is to just do a breathing exercise immediately when you first wake up in the morning. This will give them at least a relative value to start with and provide some analytical evaluation. But the Garman system does detailed comprehensive tracking overnight, and I even tracks 24 seven and correlates it to body battery.
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.
@@fitgearhunter I live in the US. It must be supported. Maybe I already turned on history when I got the watch but didn’t select I’d been diagnosed with AFib. I wonder how I’d figure this out.
@@fitgearhunter Had AFIB of 3% after VO2 max increase from 45 to 46 this week, so probably I will go to a doctor with that, but should be no concern, because I made a blood test today.
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.
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.
Hey! And I know the sleep stages are reportedly off - but here is what I have realized over time - what value do the sleep stages give you? I do look at the time in REM and deep, and appreciate the AW for that, but otherwise after many many years of having stages of any kind (right or wrong) I have realized that they don't correlate to anything directionable. And for HR - I have been tracking the Enduro 2 and Epix recently and so far - after 15 tests so far - they are maybe 92% accurate, vs the AWU which is coming out 95-96% accurate. I tell alllll followers in almost every review that you should wear an external HR monitor for higher intensity stuff - and especially for my crossfit followers - you should not even wear the watches for the workout (bc they get in the way of other equipment).
I have owned the Garmin Fenix 6 and recently wore the EPIX 2 for a month. I like all the data that Garmin pulls for my cycling adventures. I did notice that it seemed off when sleeping. Sometimes I felt like I had a deep sleep and was well rested, but the watch stated otherwise. My wrist is 5.5 small inches, and I would like to know if that affects readings in my sleep position. This week I decided to get the Apple Watch Ultra, and I love it. AWU feels more comfortable than my EPIX 2. I will miss all the data Garmin has, like (Stress, HRV Status, Stamina, Training Effect, Body Battery, and Sleep Score) but I am hoping 3 party apps can pull this data.
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?
It’s because a fib history is for people that experience AF. So the notifications would be going off all day long at various times. So it’s better to get the trends and time in AF since they know they have AF as a diagnosis.
Not really but kind of. HealthFit is an app you pay for but it provides sort of training status by looking at acute training load versus chronic training load. I actually use the Suunto app because it does give training status based on for primary areas. But I have owned Suunto watches in the past and I don't know if that's a requirement to use the app.
In simple terms I don't think there is any complete package and the necessity of relying on multiple third-party apps is just problematic and quite frustrating for me, personally.
@@fitgearhunter Thank you so much for your reply. I agree with you completely -- Currently I am using the AW long with athlytic for over fitness tracking and sports tracker to tracking the load. These two apps have been very helpful for now atleast. Please let me know your thoughts.
@@mrrishibhatia yep - those are two good ones - I like Chipr maybe better than athlytic for some wellness tracking - but otherwise you are completely on point. Athytic does do a good job w the 5 primary health markers at waking but the HRV tracking is still very problematic on the AW
Yes that's a good question - I haven't noticed anything major - but it is taking measurements 2-3 times an hour versus every 2-3 hours. Maybe decreases total drain time by an extra hour, at most.
Glad it helped! BUT - need to hear this. I'm going to release this in final AWU review - you HAVE TO go in every morning and delete (on Apple Health) the HRV values that are way out of line - I usually get 2-3 that are 300% of the average, not trustworthy. Other than that it's good
Polar doesn’t track HRV throughout the day, only the first 4 hours of the night. It’s a shame it doesn’t have a body battery called body resources by Suunto. Garmin does, Suunto does and AW now
@@hardmtnbiker I have tested both Suunto body resources and Garmin Body battery. What I really like about Suunto resources is the graph tend to change colour to yellow when in recovery status which basically mean HRV is going up. Also, I think Suunto tracks better for me, Garmin tend to have a massive drop in the morning ans it stops going down which is incorrect. At least for me what my Suunto shows me match my status better. Whilst contacting Covid Suunto body resources was spot on detecting the illness few days earlier. Tip: up in the morning with very little recovery meaning somethings is up 😉
@@Ajajambo I’ll have to look at the Suunto. I really do like the recovery and fitness test features of my Polar Vantage V2 plus the complete Day overview dashboard. The other tech that I have considered besides the new Garmin’s is the Whoop
@@hardmtnbiker I agree, I have a Grit X and I like the app. I think if you a try Suunto, you will love the app too. It has more mapping capabilities on the fly. I use a Suunto 7 for reference. If watch any YT reviews let me save you sometime. Most revierews had a look at the S7 two years ago. Since then its a different watch. Smartwatch with good fitness capabilities. Cheers
Yes of course! And thank you for saying. An there's def a possibility that the AW has a sensor calc of it - but until they develop their own, deeply tested accessment of it it's only 10% of the way there currently, to me.
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%
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
@@seuncoker Just as an FYI Garmin showed Covid for me more recently a felt amount better than Whoop. Body batttery tracked my progress throughout the day - I had to wait until Whoop updated w sleep metrics every morning.
@@seuncoker 100% it was showing a score of 0.0 for me for three days straight. It also recommended I do nothing a part from stick to the sofa 🙂 but when things started to improve the recommendations changed
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?
Yes. 1000%. The only way to truly get it to provide a useful metric is to do a breathing exercise first thing in waking before getting up. That will establish a consistent baseline, but it will take 30 days or so to bring useful analytics
@@fitgearhunter What I don't get is, that on one side, you say it's better to use the AFIB readings and don't use Mindfullness-App and here you say it the other way around?! So what's right now?
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.
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.
Hey, just got the new Apple Watch 10. Followed these instructions but the Afib tab seems to have gone to set this up?
Not sure how I can go about obtaining a more suitable HRV now and what settings should be set in Athlytic? Thanks
You may need to activate HRV in the Health app first, then go back to the Watch app and turn on Afib
this needs to be a much bigger deal, deserves additional videos, just found out, thanks a lot!
Ha - I know! But to be clear there are a number or erroneous measurements that should be factored out to make better use of the 3rd party apps

Sure thing! Happy to help. And jealous you already have the Ultra - looking forward to testing it out - first AW I don't hate the look of haha.
Thank you for your afib diagnosis. I can finally turn on afib analysis on my watch.
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 ?
Does anyone know if you should have "Prioritize Sleep or Mindfulness HRV" toggled on or off?
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?
Nope! No impact on RHR in any way that I saw - and definitely not on workouts. Hope that helps!

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?
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.
Yes completely. That is one of the better methods, but it is user dependent, and therefore user error problematic - I would often forget right away, and if you've gotten your and moving if can bring very distorted values, so I found it altogether problematic- and more dependent on a device that tracks continually through sleep, and accurately, to establish clear baseline, and deviation. The AW on the whole just doesn't really do it, even if you activate afib like the video. Tons of erroneous measurements too.
Great video thanks. May I ask what Sleep you would recommend on top or do you simply go with just Apple health sleep?
Hey! Thanks for asking. I just used the Athlytic app for sleep review. Thanks!
I can recommend auto sleep and sleep cycle. Sleep cycle is a paid app
hello what is the other application that allows the analysis of the recovery?
Sure - there are actually a few others, but the other ones I use are Onvy and TrainingToday
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 🙂
It won't! The AWU is like a constantly running computer, it taking a few measurements actually has super negligible impact on battery life. Thanks for commenting!
@@fitgearhunter swift as a cat! Thx 🙂
@@Kohizzzle sure thing!
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?
Good question. I think it takes samples of HR less often when not in workout mode. So likely any HR reading on the face is the last sample.
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.
That's a great question! Personally, no. I think the dependence on third-party apps to cobble together some version or pieces of what Garmin provides simply and directly every day, coupled with the steel very short battery life, makes it still a long stretch for the AWU to be competitive. BUT. The ability to turn on this new metric, coupled with a little bit battery life, coupled with a more rugged casing (I have always thoroughly hated the regular Apple Watch design, hated) - make it possible to make use of the Apple Watch for the training metrics and the recovery and wellness metrics you may need
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?
Not exactly sure! I think it primarily just means there are no issues discovered via the additional testing
When I do this changes, does the Apple Watch still check for AFib in the background?
Yes - more I believe
@@fitgearhunter ok cool and will still notify me for a fib right?
@@christophvoelkel9945 yes - but I would recommend reading up on how it changes things more too, especially if it's a real need for you. I know for me it started giving me regular updates that it wasn't detecting any issues, which I hadn't seen before.
@@fitgearhunter My watch never detected any AFibs and says I would have 6% AFib… should that be concerning?
Is this a good app? Is it free?
Hey! Athlytic is one of the best apps for the AW but it isn't free. I can't remember the cost but it's very comprehensive
Thank you very much ,it’s weird how Apple don’t have stress defector app ,while cheaper watches do have
What sleep tracker do you recommend? The native one with apple sucks.
It does! I would recommend Athlytic for both sleep analysis and multiple other factors. Thanks!
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.
Thank you for commenting! Yes there are just not enough readings during the night for it to be useful and you have to rely on the breathing exercise to get a morning measurement. But if you activate afib it will change that, you'll just need to go through and delete erroneous ultra high HRV readings
@@fitgearhunter Thanks for responding Bud and for your great vids. Within Athlytic it says that you should breath normally during the mindfulness session and not to do the deep inhale/exhale as readings would be artificially higher. I did that and it dropped to about 60ish (so roughly half). I since returned my Apple Watch Ultra and sticking with the Garmin. I found with Athlytic every day I was 100% ready to rock. Garmin is a little more challenging to get 100 and I like having that headroom and just overall seems more believable.
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
Yes you just on click the eighth of tracking and he'll go back to out-of-the-box settings. No worries there. But with the setting turned on it will actually track more consistently for any eighth of issues, so the tracking actually goes up, not down
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
Great question- I've actually never tested! But I guess in theory it could once connected to the watch. The only issue would be if the strap sensors get too dry they might lose connection. Hope that helps!
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%.” ?
By my understanding, you may be showing sign of Afib. weekly Afib reading will never show 0%, it will read no less than 2%. Readings above that may be a legit Afib reading.
@@RonnieLAmoureux not sure I follow what you’re saying. Are you saying it will display AFib of less than 2% (not “no less than 2%” as your comment stated), and anything over 2% could be AFib? Or are you saying it will always show a number of above 2%, hence “no less than 2%”, and much higher would be AFib?
@@wstt4 anyone that activates Afib will see no less than 2% on their weekly notification. If one receives the weekly 2% notification and then looks at the health app it would read 2% or less… meaning, most likely no Afib found. If one were to see something over 2%, that could indicate Afib activity has been picked up by the watch. Of course one would want to look into that, check the health app and see what the data suggest.
what is the difference between training today and Athlytic? Athlytic looks to do the same thing!
Sort of! Sorry for delay. Athlytic just looks at nightly HRV for recovery and TT takes the whole day to estimate at any time. I'll mention it in final AWU review. Thanks!
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?
Good question and I don't really know because I do not look at the AFib at all within the watch, it only enables higher frequency HRV tracking only. I actually don't know anything about the fib capabilities within the Apple ecosystem I just know that it has to be turned on to get more frequent HRV tracking
What do we look for in HRV?
If I change that I have afib history in the health app can you change it back to “no I haven’t been diagnosed?”
Yes I believe you can - I know for sure you can turn off the afib election
You should test it for us, please 😊
But does Athlytic provide you with training load and aerobic/anaerorobic effect like Garmin does?
No it doesn't. It tried to estimate Hr time in aerobic and anaerobic zones but it's much less useful than Garmin's
If you turn on afib history, it stops checking for irregular heart rhythm. Is that a good trade off?
Hey - good question. Mine checks for afib (obviously) and keeps me posted if anything looks weird still - not sure what (if any) features are NOT being checked - I think maybe it just checks for more? Sorry late in responding - just saw I hadn't seen this one.
@@fitgearhunter no worries mate, I’m still new into digging further into fitness and health and still deciding between the fenix 7x sapphire and the AW ultra. Amoled means nothing to me.
@@braddavister137 for fitness and health (from a comprehensive out of the box experience) I don't think it's much of a contest - the 7X wins - especially if you don't care about screen beauty. the Apple Watch Ultra seems more for people who want the full smart watch experience, and to finagle together multiple apps to garner the health and fitness experience.
@@fitgearhunter lol yep that seems to be the consensus. I like the cellular features of apple so I’m thinking a fenix 7x and an Apple Watch 7 or se might be a good combo.
@@braddavister137 Yes it would - just use the 7X all the time and the AW just to make calls :)
Do you find the average nightly HRV to be more accurate than a morning recording using Breathe?
For me, yes for sure. I find that the user dependent exercise of doing the breathe every morning could be skewed by outside factors, whereas the data taken overnight is not. You still have to go in and delete erroneously high values, but I found it to be more reliable and consistent.
@@fitgearhunter Sorry last question! When deleting high HRV do you have a limit that anything above you’ll delete? I have a high HRV and will get about 200ms with the breathe app for good days. During sleep I’ll get a couple data points in the high 200s and 300s so I’m not sure which ones I should be deleting. I appreciate your help!
@@tayls3182did you find an answer for this?
Why do i need to turn on AFIB? It's already showing HRV data without AFIB turned on. Please help me understand.
I ask the same
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?
No I don't and that is a major downgrade for me. That was the one quasi solution that made Apple viable in a world where every device on the market tracks HRV and provides some sort of recovery analysis. That is a huge bummer
@@fitgearhunter I managed to get it working again. The solution was as simple as disabling AF History, and then turning it back on ;)
@@nielsbrorsen Ha! I also seem to be getting the same number of measurements tonight as well. Thanks for doublechecking!
@@fitgearhunter Did that really do the trick? Mine won't start again doing mulitple measurements.... help :(
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
Awesome - so glad you are liking it - it helps the AW become much more useful with recovery tracking. Sorry for delayed response!
Great video Hunter!
Thanks so much! I feel like it's a huge tweak - no idea why they are saying you need a doctors note to turn on.
Do you have tip for the best stress app for apple watch
I think Athlytic does well with it - have you tried that one?
@@fitgearhunter thanks! Not yet, i get my apple watch tommorow! Will try that app, if it is free😊. Does the continues HRV tracking drain battery?
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.
Awesome work! Athlytic will help you along the way, but if the opportunity arises in the future you will get much better analysis and details from Garmin
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
Got it since 3 days and love it!
Jealous - I delayed to order so it won't be until mid-October. The accuracy for sensors is definitely superior - the absense of analytics, and even those provided by 3rd parties - coupled with the battery life - is what leaves my AW on the charger every day - so far. We'll see what the Ultra holds - I have always hated the AW design and really like the look of the Ultra, so we'll see.
@@foetor Lucky
@@fitgearhunter yes, ordered one watch 19. August and after delay I ordered Ocean Loop yellow at 22. August and got it 25h later
Athlytics gave unusable advice comparing todays data sleeping with AW, to months of old data sleeping without AW. So HRV was always about double of history, so always perfect and useless. Gave up after weeks. Hope they fix it, as it otherwise seems like a good (and expensive) App.
Any thoughts on hrv4training?
Hey! Sorry for delay. I've not loved it. You have to manually make sure it pulls in data, and for me that is bothersome. Many love it though!
Hrv reading is important data
Great review. Are you going to review the Oura ring?
I did! I didn't find it to have much value, for me. It was kind of a neat idea, but I feel Garmin provides the same value, and a lot more - so no extra ring felt needed.
Afib is not available on all regions.
Oh gosh - so sorry - thank you for letting me know!
Can’t find this Athletic app… someone have the link plz?
Hey! I'm not sure what platform you are using but the spelling is different - it is Athlytic. Hope that helps!
Do u have a link to the App you talk about. Athletic... something ? Thank!
I am trying to only have the heart rate percentage, not the beats per minute displayed on my Apple Watch. I like using percentage rather than beats per minute. I’m hoping that there is a toggle button or option? Like the polar watches. You have an option to display heart rate beats per minute or percentage
Do all series of Apple watches do hrv?
Honestly, none of them do. Out of the box you're getting one single measurement every 2 to 3 hours, which in basic terms is not a worthwhile tracking measurement. To use some of the third-party apps the best situation is to just do a breathing exercise immediately when you first wake up in the morning. This will give them at least a relative value to start with and provide some analytical evaluation. But the Garman system does detailed comprehensive tracking overnight, and I even tracks 24 seven and correlates it to body battery.
When I go into the Heart app on the watch I scrolled down but it doesn’t let me turn it on.
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.
Ugh - so sorry - you must live in a region that doesn't support it :/
@@fitgearhunter I live in the US. It must be supported. Maybe I already turned on history when I got the watch but didn’t select I’d been diagnosed with AFib. I wonder how I’d figure this out.
does not work afib history is greyed out and says it must be setup in Health....
there are regions of the world that the setting is not allowed to be adjusted - sorry!
I had 6% AFib, should that be concerning?
Oh gosh good question - I'm not sure but definitely worth looking into
@@fitgearhunter well I will have a look at antother week. So you never had something above 2%?
@@D45886 no but I don't wear the AW all the time!
@@fitgearhunter Ok, thanks for your response and thanks for sharing these curcial informations. 😁
@@fitgearhunter Had AFIB of 3% after VO2 max increase from 45 to 46 this week, so probably I will go to a doctor with that, but should be no concern, because I made a blood test today.
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.
No problem! It's not a well known thing. Glad this helped!
Does it affect battery life that much?
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?
Athlytic! Thanks
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.
Hey! And I know the sleep stages are reportedly off - but here is what I have realized over time - what value do the sleep stages give you? I do look at the time in REM and deep, and appreciate the AW for that, but otherwise after many many years of having stages of any kind (right or wrong) I have realized that they don't correlate to anything directionable.
And for HR - I have been tracking the Enduro 2 and Epix recently and so far - after 15 tests so far - they are maybe 92% accurate, vs the AWU which is coming out 95-96% accurate. I tell alllll followers in almost every review that you should wear an external HR monitor for higher intensity stuff - and especially for my crossfit followers - you should not even wear the watches for the workout (bc they get in the way of other equipment).
I have owned the Garmin Fenix 6 and recently wore the EPIX 2 for a month. I like all the data that Garmin pulls for my cycling adventures. I did notice that it seemed off when sleeping. Sometimes I felt like I had a deep sleep and was well rested, but the watch stated otherwise. My wrist is 5.5 small inches, and I would like to know if that affects readings in my sleep position. This week I decided to get the Apple Watch Ultra, and I love it. AWU feels more comfortable than my EPIX 2. I will miss all the data Garmin has, like (Stress, HRV Status, Stamina, Training Effect, Body Battery, and Sleep Score) but I am hoping 3 party apps can pull this data.
@@fitgearhunter Great points! Thank you
It’s a give and take. Apple have better sleep analysis
How do you use the Apple Watch 24/7 for the detailed hrv data points if the battery doesn’t last long enough?
Damn that’s a cool app! Thanks again for a cool video
sure thing! thanks for commenting
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?
No idea unfortunately. It's weird how you have to activate afib in order to get HRV. I don't like it
It’s because a fib history is for people that experience AF. So the notifications would be going off all day long at various times. So it’s better to get the trends and time in AF since they know they have AF as a diagnosis.
@@LukeRow That's really helpful to know! Thank you!
So hrv get turned of if we do what the video says? That is kind of a turn off if it’s like that, since hrv can tell us a lot
Very good review, “ACTUALLY.” 😎
Thank you very much. You helped a lot. God bless you.
so glad!
does It increases the battery usage?
Is there an app that tracks training status like the Garmin watch. I love that feature about garmin
Not really but kind of. HealthFit is an app you pay for but it provides sort of training status by looking at acute training load versus chronic training load. I actually use the Suunto app because it does give training status based on for primary areas. But I have owned Suunto watches in the past and I don't know if that's a requirement to use the app.
In simple terms I don't think there is any complete package and the necessity of relying on multiple third-party apps is just problematic and quite frustrating for me, personally.
@@fitgearhunter Thank you so much for your reply. I agree with you completely -- Currently I am using the AW long with athlytic for over fitness tracking and sports tracker to tracking the load. These two apps have been very helpful for now atleast. Please let me know your thoughts.
@@mrrishibhatia yep - those are two good ones - I like Chipr maybe better than athlytic for some wellness tracking - but otherwise you are completely on point. Athytic does do a good job w the 5 primary health markers at waking but the HRV tracking is still very problematic on the AW
If i buy the ultra 2 i will activate this. thx
Sure thing! But I do believe there are regional limitations if you're outside the US.
oh ok, i am currently in europe, hope that it works this way... @@fitgearhunter
Thanks!
Curious as to the effect of this on battery
Yes that's a good question - I haven't noticed anything major - but it is taking measurements 2-3 times an hour versus every 2-3 hours. Maybe decreases total drain time by an extra hour, at most.
@@fitgearhunter ok. In 6.5 hours of sleep I dropped 5%. Frankly, I think that’s about inline with what I was getting before. Will compare.
@@ZachGrabill awesome. Yes please do! Keep me posted if you can - I'd love to hear
Thank you for sharing this info!!
Definitely!
I wonder if anyone has or will do some kind of comparison with Morpheus, this is awesome!
Glad it helped! BUT - need to hear this. I'm going to release this in final AWU review - you HAVE TO go in every morning and delete (on Apple Health) the HRV values that are way out of line - I usually get 2-3 that are 300% of the average, not trustworthy. Other than that it's good
Athletic sounds very comprehensive, I would like to see the comparison to Polar and Garmin for wearing those watches throughout the day.
Polar doesn’t track HRV throughout the day, only the first 4 hours of the night. It’s a shame it doesn’t have a body battery called body resources by Suunto. Garmin does, Suunto does and AW now
@@Ajajambo yes I knew about Garmin but didn’t know that Suunto was gathering this data also
@@hardmtnbiker I have tested both Suunto body resources and Garmin Body battery. What I really like about Suunto resources is the graph tend to change colour to yellow when in recovery status which basically mean HRV is going up. Also, I think Suunto tracks better for me, Garmin tend to have a massive drop in the morning ans it stops going down which is incorrect. At least for me what my Suunto shows me match my status better. Whilst contacting Covid Suunto body resources was spot on detecting the illness few days earlier. Tip: up in the morning with very little recovery meaning somethings is up 😉
@@Ajajambo I’ll have to look at the Suunto. I really do like the recovery and fitness test features of my Polar Vantage V2 plus the complete Day overview dashboard.
The other tech that I have considered besides the new Garmin’s is the Whoop
@@hardmtnbiker I agree, I have a Grit X and I like the app. I think if you a try Suunto, you will love the app too. It has more mapping capabilities on the fly. I use a Suunto 7 for reference. If watch any YT reviews let me save you sometime. Most revierews had a look at the S7 two years ago. Since then its a different watch. Smartwatch with good fitness capabilities. Cheers
not working for me, says not supported in my region. very sad.

Ugh - sorry to hear that!
That can change. I hope
Oh i dont have this AFib😢
Nice "hack"! Thanks, must try!
Glad to help! Sorry for delayed response!
wow - Getting closer to my fenix.
That is awesome! Thanks for the pointers on turning it on. I just started trying out Athlytic.
Absolutely - glad it helped! Super cool way to change the data access overnight
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.
Yes of course! And thank you for saying. An there's def a possibility that the AW has a sensor calc of it - but until they develop their own, deeply tested accessment of it it's only 10% of the way there currently, to me.
It’s not tracking during the day
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%
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
Was the training today app able to show you when you were ill?
Haha that was so long I ago I totally forgot about the TT until other testers brought it up recently - sorry!
@@seuncoker Just as an FYI Garmin showed Covid for me more recently a felt amount better than Whoop. Body batttery tracked my progress throughout the day - I had to wait until Whoop updated w sleep metrics every morning.
@@seuncoker 100% it was showing a score of 0.0 for me for three days straight. It also recommended I do nothing a part from stick to the sofa 🙂 but when things started to improve the recommendations changed
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?
Yes. 1000%. The only way to truly get it to provide a useful metric is to do a breathing exercise first thing in waking before getting up. That will establish a consistent baseline, but it will take 30 days or so to bring useful analytics
@@fitgearhunter What I don't get is, that on one side, you say it's better to use the AFIB readings and don't use Mindfullness-App and here you say it the other way around?! So what's right now?
@@fitgearhunterI use my polar strap or my HeartMath device with Elite HRV
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. 🙄

@Blackberry it’s on your tv telling about that? Lol
Btw. AFib doesn’t available on my SE but it’s ok on models like 6 or above. And don’t believe that shitty tv, guys
What's your favorite watch, if not Apple?
Garmin epic pro is by far the most comprehensive on the market right now
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.
It has been moved from the Watch app to the Health App Just set it up on my Series 6
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.
Typical Apple - assuming customers have limited knowledge.
HRV reading should be customisable. It is not a big deal.
Yes - totally - should be able to tell the watch when you want it to be tracked, and how often. Thanks!
Lie and tell big-tech that you have a history of a-fib.
What could go wrong?
