Have a pacemaker set for minimum heart rate of 60bpm. For the last few months Charge 2 indicated resting HR at about 60bpm but the last last 30 display shows that the resting HR declining from 60 to 49bpm. Were there any software changes made in sensing the HR?

@Fran3k Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! Sorry to hear that your resting heart rate is lower than the one set on your pacemaker. The information reflects what your tracker has recorded but there are some situations that can affect the reading. Starting with the Resting Heart Rate it is a measured based on your waking hours along with the HR during your sleep. You can read more about it here. There you will find suggestions to improve your heart rate reading on your device.

 

Let me know how it goes!
