I am a health coach and do a lot of work on corporate wellness. One aspect of wellness that I consistently educate on is Heart Rate Variability and I use a Heartmath professional system with clients. Many of my clients wear different wearable devices to track fitness and I have learned a lot about Garmin systems. While I love the user friendly features of Fitbit, Garmin tracks HRV and it gives enormous feedback to someone who needs to see how often Stress (which raises blood fats and blood sugar) is present during the day.
I would love for the Fitbit Versa to have a HRV reading. I know the device already has the sensors for the option to be available. I think Fitbit just needs to create the software in the app so it can record the readings.
It would be a great addition to track an individual's readiness to train for the day. Heart rate is great, but it doesn't let us know if our body is still trying to recover or not.
This is the only reading that I see the device is missing which would make this the perfect device. I've seen post in the past about it, but would really like this to be available.
Hi @terrylinfit, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your posthere as it is not currently planned. You can keep adding your votes to this suggestion so we can keep tracking this request overtime. Learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in ourFAQs. I hope to see you around.
I would like to check my HRV daily on my watch. Right now I use the Inspire with the hr monitor because it is small. Happy to pay for this feature. Won't buy another gadget without it.
Hi @CarinaC, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback regarding HRV. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. At the moment it is not planned to implement it. Nonetheless you can still add your vote.
I would like to see a tracker for emotion and or stress level that is separate from female health, you can update your level of stress or your feelings throughout the day with a 1-10 for stress and the name of th emotion + a cute emoji of it then you can see your feelings in a chart similar to the app Stop, Breathe Think.
Hi @bascal133, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback regarding a stress level tracker with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. Don't forget to add your vote! There's also another Feature Suggestion, regarding an emotion tracker. You can find more information about it here: Mood/Energy-level/Anxiety tracker
Yes, please add HRV. The Fitbit should already have the data, just enable viewing. More evidence supports the value of this number in health assessment. It could eventually push me to an iWatch instead which I’d prefer not to do!
HRV would be great. I have now to choose another product which is truly sad because I've been so satisfied with Fitbit so far. But I simply must have HRV in my gear.
The new WHOOP watch has done a great job on this.. FitBit, for the millions the company is spending on R&D really, the users expect faster time-to-market on these features. Unfortunately, I expected more from the new subscription service, something like HRV combined with resting heart rate and sleep quality combined to advise on whether the person should workout, sleep more, etc.. just like WHOOP.. now THAT, would make me sign-up for the premium service.
I mentioned this on another post and here it is again: The new WHOOP watch has done a great job on this.. FitBit, for the millions the company is spending on R&D really, the users expect faster time-to-market on these features. Unfortunately, I expected more from the new subscription service, something like HRV combined with resting heart rate and sleep quality combined to advise on whether the person should workout, sleep more, etc.. just like WHOOP.. now THAT, would make me sign-up for the premium service.
Please take this suggestion as a brainstorming exercise and not something I believe 100% can be done.
As I was writing this title, I realized this post has the potential to be controversial. I can already see comments like “we shouldn’t rely on data to parent kids” or “just talk to your kids”. So, just to be clear here, I’m not suggesting we strap a watch to a kid and parent them remotely. What I’m saying here, is that often times kids don’t want to talk to their parents regarding the extent of bullying. Also, teachers might not always realize how much in distress a child really is.
After seeing in my town 1 child commit suicide this week and another one in critical condition after taking medication, I thought there must be a way to do more. Knowing that Fitbit can monitor sleep patterns, how different would it be to monitor a child’s well-being at school? A “normal” baseline could be established and from time to time we could examine if there are any big changes.
Hi @ConstantiAndré! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing your comments and this informative link. I've moved it into a similarrequest. Post a comment or click on the thumbs-up to show your support.
I've just purchased a Whoop.com subscription because their device monitors HRV and gives sleep/rest and training/strain suggestions based on HRV. Would prefer to use my Fitbit (Charge 3) for it, but since you don't offer this feature I have stopped wearing it...
Hi @ClutchGuy and thanks for sharing this suggestion, which has received votes from other community members. I’m happy to let you know that this suggestion has been picked up internally at Fitbit and is being considered by our team. This suggestion will either remain ‘Under Consideration’ until released, or else move to ‘Not Currently Planned’ if it’s not viable right now. Further updates will be posted here.
Please remember that if a suggestion is chosen for development, it can take some time before updates are available or a release is finalized, so thanks in advance for your patience. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visitour FAQs. Fans can continue to vote for this feature suggestion while it is under consideration.
Yes please. Just got a new expensive elliptical and am approaching 58 years old. HRV would be most helpful in determining progress and set Fitbit apart from many competitors. Vote YES!
When can this feature be expected ? It's been three years since this idea was suggested. Is the idea in consideration for development ? Please let the community here waiting on this know, Fitbit.
