Tracking Your Heart Rate Over Time
For those of you importing heart rate data from your devices, did you know you can track this over time? Read on to find out how.
Supported Devices
Currently, this feature is only available for users who have Apple Health, Google Fit, an Oura or a Garmin device connected to their Cronometer account. We aim to add support for more partners in the near future.
How It Works
When you connect a device that supports viewing your heart rate over time, you’ll have the option to ‘Import full heart rate time series’. Toggle this option on.
Or if you already have a device connected, navigate to More > Connect Apps & Devices, and select your supported device. In the device settings, toggle on ‘Import full heart rate time series’.
Once a heart rate entry is imported, click on the entry from your Diary screen. You will know that time series data exists if it has a > icon on it.
Once you tap on the heart rate or heart rate variability diary entry, it will bring up a chart, allowing you to view your heart rate data over time.
This will let you take a look at when your heart rate spikes or dips throughout the day, helping to identify stressors. By upgrading to Gold, you can also use Custom Charts to plot this data against your exercise, any nutrient or any other biometric to help pin point the cause.
