Lowest HR Reading

I was curious if Garmin has a limit on HR readings below 30. I have a resting HR of 30 and possibly below as an older Polar I used to see upper 20's when reclining. I noted during sleep some dropouts and have attached a screen shot. I don't think I am losing reading of the watch as I am static. It appears the watch just stops recording data below 30bpm. Thoughts?

I also just checked if manually setting my rhr lower would do anything in device/user settings. Would not let me enter 28 or 29bpm, but 30 it did.

**Saw my cardiologist today and was on EKG and verified the Garmin is quite accurate 30 resting HR. He let me go w/o a stress test or a pacemaker. I went for a 4 mile ocean paddle.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. My RHR used to very consistently be 38-40, but after about 7.93b my watch just seems to want my RHR to be 48+ and won't even register anything below 40, even when I check HR by pairing a strap to a phone app.

I miss the old "lowest waking HR" RHR calculations. I don't really even pay attention to HR outside of an activity any longer because of this.

Did a sync this morning to check status by mobile and then wired to verify sync. Note dropouts where HR dipped below 30 during sleep and no sleep data resulting.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1343349.jpg

johnrg56 The minimum heart rate threshold for Garmin Heart Rate Straps and Optical Heart Rate sensors is 24 beats per minute.

If you are reporting that Garmin Connects Website is not displaying any Heart Rate data in the graph below 30, can we have your permission to view your data in Garmin Connect?

Heath.... I was testing BP monitor this morning and checking against Fenix hr and noted the Fenix did register a 29 on screen. Not reflected in connect though.

** More results on the watch actually displaying hr in mid 20's. Decided to try and change the RHR in watch. Same as in GC, unable to set lower than 30 on the watch.
