I have found the recovery indication in the Garmin Forerunner 620 useless. I'm not sure it even really looks at HRV. As far as I can tell, it only looks at the intensity of the previous workouts. Case in point: if you do a workout without heart rate sensor, it won't tell you how 'recovered' you are at the beginning of your next workout.
- kqr 9y agoMy more recent Garmin will use HR data during the exercise to determine recovery HR by simply comparing activity HR to the HR two minutes after you've paused the activity. But even if you're not using a HR monitoring device during your workout, being vigilant on your resting HR provides a good clue. Too high and you need to rest, whether from overtraining or illness.
