I'm 58-62 most nights back in the say I went below 40 a couple of times (like 10yr ago) I did worry a nurse once - tried 3 machines on me that all "broke" and bleeped that I had a low HR so I had to point out I was a runner she was happy then!
EvilPixie Nov 2020 2:07pm, 27 Nov 2020 20,701 posts	EvilPixie my run the other day had several mins when it seemed to be recording a lot lower than I felt it should have - like in the 130s when I thought it would be nearer 150 I know a few blips from wrist is almost expected but this was a few mins so I was going to use my chest strap or do you think it's accurate enough?

HappyG(rrr) Nov 2020 2:33pm, 27 Nov 2020 36,640 posts	HappyG(rrr) I don't believe my Garmin (Vivoactive 3) HR readings. I've had it replaced recently. Cos altimeter wasn't working) and HR seems a bit better after that. Don't know if it's updated software or whether the actual HR monitor a bit better.
larkim Nov 2020 2:40pm, 27 Nov 2020 12,788 posts	larkim I made myself unpopular at home by wearing my OH1+ in bed to see what my sleeping HR was like; it blinks bright green on the side permanently and was a touch distracting for my better half to sleep next to. And then, having worn it through the night, I discovered that the Polar software that can read the offline trace doesn't report on resting HR, which I thought was particularly peculiar!
