Is it possible to have stress tracking on the Charge 3 device.

I like to know my stress level and get notifications automaticly based on my heart rate so I can relax in time.

This functionality is a deal breaker for me at this moment in time, I’m on a path to better managing my stress levels to improve my overall wellbeing and I believe this will be a very helpful tool.  I absolutely love my Fitbit products but if this functionality does not become available I will unfortunately have to move on to another brand that does offer this 😞

I think that Fitbit should incorporate heart-rate variability into its features.

I've been told that HRV is capture with Fitbit Versa, but isn't displayed. HRV is an important measure of heart health, and would be awesome to capture/graph HRV over time, similar to RHR

Hi, I would suggest a 24 hour(or optional 4-6 hour) Heart rate graph on the Versa 2 watch for example in a Fitbit watch face design or in Todays stats. I am coming from Garmin, Samsung and Huawei and all their watches have this capability, it is strange that the market leader of fitness watches does not have this option.

Hi, i would be really interesting my tracker to have some HRV capabilities to track my overall body stress from yesterday's workouts. Thus, i would know for the day ahead if i can push hard or to take my workouts easy or even a rest day. This feature is already present in your competitors and it would be a shame fitbit not to also have it.

Tbh this has taken way too long to move to the consideration status.

This is absurd. The device already records HRV. Why is this even something we have to ask for? @YojanaFitbit

The lack of HVR is the reason I bought a Garmin for my daughter and not a Fitbit like I have.

I created an account just so I could add my support to this idea.

 

If PurePulse devices already have the HRV data, why hasn’t Fitbit written the UI code to display it?

 

I’d love to see my daily HRV.

Please add HRV.  I would even buy a new device if you offered it!

I would really like to have HRV feature on my Fitbit Versa2! I used to have it on my Oura ring and it was great and very useful. Unfortunately, my Oura ring had issues with battery and I had to return it.

The fact that this was suggested years ago and Fitbit still haven't done it yet is absurd. People are buying other devices because they want this feature. As already mentioned in the comments, fitbit already records all of the information it needs, all you need is an algorithm to consolidate that information into a user friendly number or percentage. I could probably do the calculations myself every morning, but honestly, why don't you have this incredibly helpful feature that everybody wants?

I would love to see a fitbit watch measure heart rate variability which is an important measurement that is missing in all their watches.
