stilldreaming Nov 2023 1:06pm, 2 Nov 2023 1,287 posts	0 stilldreaming OK, embarrassed to be asking this .... could someone explain what 'body battery' on my Garmin update means? Today's (post very boggy trail run) says +0/-23 🤔

The lower the number (I don't think it goes pass 5) the more tired you are rest recharges it and stress depletes it +0/-23 means (I think) that you haven't charged your battery at all and have lost 23 points]

Groundhog Nov 2023 5:59pm, 2 Nov 2023 5,822 posts	0 Groundhog I think the Body Battery thing would only work properly if you wore your watch 24/7 so it would record recharge while sleeping and then depleting during the day. I don't believe my Garmin records sleep at all well as it will tell me I have slept really well, even if I have been awake half the night and just not moving. I would need to be much more of a tosser and turner to convince it in that regard.
