    Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful indicator of your overall health and well-being, as well as your fitness level and recovery status just like the other indicators like Blood Oxygen level and more. It can help you optimize your training, prevent overtraining, improve your sleep quality, and manage your stress levels. On Apple Watch there is a feature to check your HRV. But to keep track of it you will have to manually input the data on the Health app on your iPhone. So to check and record your HRV on your Apple Watch this guide will help you.

    What is HRV?

    Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of how much your heart rate changes from beat to beat. It reflects the balance between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which regulate your stress and relaxation responses. A higher HRV means that your heart can adapt to different situations and challenges, while a lower HRV indicates that your heart is more rigid and less resilient.
