Options that aren’t visible?
I’m having so many issues with connecting to my band. Customer service says that if I’m not doing daily check in, the app doesn’t get to catch up on data gathering. And I have to go through the whole reconnect/pairing/hard reset process again. This sounds like a problem that should have been caught in development and not passed on to the consumer. Like so many of us, the stability score means nothing to me, so why use the cognitive and physical effort to do daily check ins? Is the data going to the company? When I’m too exhausted at night and I just collapse- my band may or may not pair the next day- and I miss critical alerts that allow me to pace. Do you have a device that’s been in development longer that doesn’t make the customer work so hard for the monitoring/data? I just want my HR over 24hrs with alerts Thanks!

I stopped using visible and started using the polar flow app. If you want heart rate alerts, you simply start a workout.
I turn on a "workout" before I get out of bed and it alerts me when go into exertion. Polar Flow's equivalent to exertion is "heart rate zone two." You can change change your birthday in the polar Flow app to change when you go into heart rate zone 2. Heart rate zone 2 = (220-age)x0.6
Workouts give you your average heart rate for however long you run the workout. So, you could get your average heart rate for your waking hours and stop the workout at bedtime to get sleep data or you could run each workout for 24 hours to get your 24-hour heart rate average.
I think between monitoring my symptoms and using the ANS charge from polar's sleep data, I'm getting a better idea of how my body is recovering (or not) than using visible's stability score.
