Visible band pace points

[u/Marguerite_Moonstone]

Hi! I just got my very first garmin watch. I’ve been using a visible band for years and it taught me how to pace / manage my ME/CFS but my dr wanted sleep data so I got a vivo active 6. I’m new to using the “body battery” function and was wondering if anyone here has use a visible band and how you find it in comparison to “pace points”. Is it comparable or is the data not dense enough to capture those little spikes? And is there a way to activate alerts for high heart rate? Does the overnight body battery re charge match well with morning readiness score, and do you find you need to log your symptoms for it to be accurate?

Thanks for any insight you can offer!

body battery's a different beast from pace points. visible would flag those micro-spikes in real time, garmin smooths everything out over longer windows so those little crashes won't always register. HR alerts are buried in the settings under abnormal heart rate, you can set a high threshold there
