There have been a few cyclists who use whoop and it picked up on HRV and they could see that something was not right.

Hopefully HRV gets added to the AWatch soon, if it isn't already. (C'mon Apple, deliver my device!)

It is pretty cool that we can take these measurements and hopfully make data driven decisions. Hopefully in time we can use these measures to be prescritive and be guided to make better decisions.

Heart Rate Variability is already measured throughout the day if you wear an Apple Watch. You can find the data in the Health app.

thanks for that! I wasn't sure.

Yep. It takes a sample every few hours, but you can also get a HRV measurement on demand by running a session in the Breathe app on the watch.

It doesn't tell you anything about HRV in the Breathe app or that it took a new sample for you, but you'll find a new entry in the Health app if you go look right afterward.
