Add Resting Heart Rate history on Fitbit app

I primarily bought a FitBit to track my RHR due to adrenal issues, don't really care about all of the other metrics such as diet, weight, steps, etc. However, it's really an oversight in my opinion that you make available every single stat except for RHR in the historical dashboard view. Please add this! There really is no good reason for it not to be there. I want to be able to go back and see trends over the past year or so and now I have to pull each month manually from my mobile device and stitch them together? Come on...

I could have sworn RHR used to be on the browser-based dashboard, but I can no longer find it.  Why *wouldn't* it be there?

Totally agree. We need a 3 month and 1 year rolling average data on the app as you have with step data.  Longer if you can do it. Currently we are limited to 1 month resting HR historical data. Not great.  

I would like to see a year or more of RHR data on my iPhone and web app.

That and weight / bodycomp are the most useful longterm data points, I think . 

Thanks.

This one is so surprising that longer historical tracking is not available for resting heart rates, the data is already there in a dashboard tile.

I think this idea has been implemented already.  At least for the Android app.

 

One neat insight I noticed looking back over my RHR: There was a strong correlation to a stressful time period with a 10% increase in my RHR.  A neat metric for sure.

it would be nice to have heart-rate and maybe heart-rate-variability in the Log section of the online-dashboard. the Date should be represented similarly to the steps (daily, weekly, monthly etc. graph)
