E.g. recently on holiday it came down 2-3 beats and now I'm back at work it's on the way up again!

larkim Aug 2022 10:32am, 20 Aug 2022 18,748 posts	larkim Yes, I've given that some thought especially as I set my zones based on a lower RHR than Garmin would determine. I'd be adding about 4-5 BPM to my zones. I'll resist that as I'm always tempted to run to the top end of zones.

Dvorak Aug 2022 10:35am, 21 Aug 2022 25,812 posts	Dvorak My Garmin is a humble Forerunner 35, and I want it nearly all the time, so yes, worn overnight. And I think the readings are accurate, both at rest and during excercise (with the odd blip). Here's my HR graph from Thursday: the highlighted point was when I was sitting watching the athletics (and not apparently overexcited ). In the period 20:10 to 21:52, my heart rate stayed consistent at 50 BPM. In the longer period 21:08 to 22:38, it never rose above 54. So by Garmin's metric, my daily rhr should have been 50, but it was reported as 60. So, hmm, what's going on? Maybe I should email Garmin support and ask.
Rosehip Aug 2022 11:12am, 21 Aug 2022 26,185 posts	Rosehip Mine woke me up with low hr alarm this morning. It’s set to 40 and apparently I went to 38. My reported resting hr has been between 38 and 41 for the last week, so nothing has changed (F7) for me through the last betas. (My fitbit used to take resting hr as an average during waking times and was ~52, never know which to use for hr zones)
