Why is HRV data missing in vitals? All other vitals data is available. 18Pro v. 27.0.1, Watch 12 v. 27.0.1.

On my Series 11, on 26.6, HRV does not show in vitals. Instead it shows in:
Show All Health Data => and I scroll down through many categories and see Heart Rate Variability.
Since you have a newer version of the OS, it might have changed locations in the app.

Mine has appeared twice since getting the watch. I’ve been working with apple health tech support and have been logging both watch and phone. Mine will show no HRV but when I go to the data collected, there are multiple records.
if you’re having the same issue, please connect with support so this can be recorded and hopefully resolved.

That’s not true. I’ve reported mine and have been working with an Apple tech. Have a case number and have been logging issues via that tech on watch and phone
ask to speak with a tech in apple health not just tech.

Mine showed up last night finally but not holding out hope that it will continue. Please be sure to report this to support and not just here as apple techs don’t read these boards.
In case anyone doesn't know it, here's the feedback link:

Yes, HRV does have a new location in the vitals app. Its presence replaced sleep duration, but I don't know why it's not publishing HRV data. According to Siri, it takes the series 12 seven nights to publish it, but 10 nights have passed.

I have both Recovery HRV and Sleep Duration (though that does appear to be missing data). Perhaps you didn't scroll down far enough.

Have the same issue (Ultra 4) and I am also not getting a readiness score after over 21 days wearing this thing
If I go into vitals and click on each parameter Screen 1 (Heart Rate Recovery HRV Blood O2 and respiratory rate there is data for every day, but if I click the vitals section within vitals screen 2 (confusing I know) it shows typical for 4 measurements but there is no data there for Recovery HRV or Sleep duration as seen in screen 3.

Screen 2
Screen 3

After close to a month wearing my ultra 4 I still do not have the HRV showing in the “vitals” section, but I did finally get a readiness score. I think I will once again contact apple support. The more people contact and discuss these issues perhaps they will rise higher on the priority list for a fix or at least an explanation of how this stuff is supposed to mesh

my overnight recovery HRV has been randomly showing up in vitals. What I keep explaining to the support tech is there is data recorded but the vitals app on both watch and phone say no data or more data needed.
After having the U4 for a month now and wearing it 24/7 except when it’s charging, the phone vitals app still says it’s getting to know me

I have the same issue after 18 nights
Oct 13, 2026 9:17 AM in response to IdrisSeabright
I still don't have it.

Interesting. Mine is still there. And my Sleep duration is still not there, despite the fact that Sleep is recording as expected.
Oct 13, 2026 10:45 AM in response to dougloftus
It's been reported to feedback, but according to it, no other reports have been submitted.
Oct 14, 2026 11:31 PM in response to dougloftus
What's not true?
Oct 15, 2026 11:48 AM in response to gwintle
In the screen like your bottom screenshot, I have data for Recovery HRV but not Sleep Duration. It looks like yours.
Absolutely no clue.
Oct 15, 2026 11:58 AM in response to IdrisSeabright
And if I go into the Sleep area it shows I have sleep recorded for the week and the month
Oct 19, 2026 5:50 AM in response to FlexSF
It’s not true that no other reports are in. The tech I’ve been working with says this is known and there are other reports.
Oct 26, 2026 3:17 PM in response to FlexSF
I have the same issue with series 12. I’ve reported and i have been working with apple since September 24th. They said they are working on it because it’s a known issue.
