Correct resting heart rate on watchfaces

I contacted 2 developers already about using resting heart rate in their watchface. They say it shows the resting heart rate from Garmin Connect, but it is not. It shows the resting heart rate that i set in the watch under user profile - heart rate zones.

My resting heart rate today: 41

Resting heart rate that i set: 104

Now there is no point to use this value.

    Originally, Connect IQ apps only had access to the resting HR set in your user profile on the watch, which as you say, is not the same as the actual resting heart rate from Garmin Connect (unless you select "Use Average" on your watch.) This value is UserProfile.restingHeartRate in the CIQ API.

    However, newer devices running CIQ 3.2.0 or higher support displaying the seven day average resting heart rate, which is what I think you want. This value is UserProfile.averageRestingHeartRate in the API.

    So I think what needs to happen is that developers need to use averageRestingHeartRate for watches that support it.
