HRV status

Also called Garmin HRV status, HRV baseline

HRV status is a label, used by Garmin watches, that compares your seven-day average of overnight HRV with your own baseline range.

The watch needs about three weeks of nights to build a baseline. Balanced means the seven-day average is inside that range, Unbalanced means above or below it, Low means well below it, and Poor means values are well below the usual range for your age. It is a training signal, not a medical test.
