Resting HR 24h vs only during day.

About a week ago I started to wear the watch 24h in order to record the HRV stuff and noticed something confusing. For the last few years I was wearing the watch only during the day and my resting HR was always around 55. After first night with the watch (lol) resting HR dropped to 45 and it persists around this value. So the question is: did my resting HR was wrongly calculated whole time?

For sure you can set your HR zones on RHR values. Maybe someone from Garmin team could explain if the RHR value has any impact on other stuff, like body battery or else.

Body battery sleep score hr variability status and probably even more.

Your resting HR will be lower during sleep than while awake

Of course it will, I'm aware of this. But it means that day estimate is totally missed. If some calculations are based on such estimate then they are wrong for people wearing the watch during day only.

Gotcha. I'm curious: which calculations require a day resting heart rate?

Yes it will

You are referring to "body battery" or "else" ?
