The whoop measures and averages your HRV over your deep sleep to give you one number.

The AppleWatch, at last time I researched, just gives you your HRV, NOW. And my impression is it's not really a useful number as a snapshot, since it varies so much during the day it's not really useful to know what it is at 10:40 AM EST.

My Apple Watch appears to have taken HRV measurements at 2 hour intervals last night overnight — is it a granularity difference then?

I think the idea is it has to during your deep sleep specifically, which may or may not overlap with those 2 hour intervals.

It's hard to understand how Apple, one of the most valuable companies in the world who employs top-tier chip designers, hardware and software integrators, is unable to do something (measure HRV all day/night long) that its competitors do, in a device whose battery lasts a fraction of Whoop and Garmin.

because they are not focused on the small details. Whoop is so focused, they don't even have time to add a clock to the wearable
