How accurate is the Charge 5 HRV? If so I guess I am dying... My reading is always low. Ranges from 9-33. I am 48. Weight 165 lbs, height 5'9"  Run 5K, 10Ks at 7:00- 7:20 minute mile. Work out 5-6 days a week. Eat healthy, none smoker. I do social drink alcohol. Clean bill of health on annual check ups. Any else have issues with their HRV reading always being low? Thanks.

Hello @scottredovian 

Like you, I usually have low HRV values. Mine have been pretty consistently under 25%.

Instead of focusing on the actual value, I check to see if my HRV is within my personal range. As long as my HRV is within or above my personal range and all my other heart related stats look good, I figure I'm doing okay.
