Could not help myself getting a new FR165 just a week before I decided it was smart to also buy a used AWU2. Love the simplicity, buttons and light weight of the Garmin, and metrics like body battery. The AWU2 is drag along the usual a mess of 3rd party apps to present some of the metrics. I still g

Garmin āstressā meter is a phenomenal way to manage dysautonomia
As long as you buy on with the Body Battery feature and real-time HRV tracking, then you will get the stress metric that OP is describing. I don't know about the best one -- they have some very expensive devices at the higher end But after doing a ton of research I can tell you that the Forerunner 1
