My resting heart rate stays at 59. Never varies.  Active pulse rate works perfectly.  How is it calculated?

Fitbit does not reveal exactly how it calculates RHR, but it is not unusual for it to stay the same for several days or more.  But for me I find it usually goes up or down at least one beat in at least a week.  How long has your stayed constant?

 

From What is my resting heart rate on my Fitbit device? 

Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are still and well rested. This metric can be an important indicator of your fitness level and overall cardiovascular health. The typical resting heart-rate range for adult Fitbit users is 50-90 beats per minute. Active people often have a lower resting heart rate. For more information, see the Fitbit Blog. 

Fitbit uses your heart-rate data from when you’re both awake and asleep to estimate your resting heart rate. For best results, wear your device to sleep. 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
