Resting heart rate on colour-coded graphs

I've noticed (and I've read posts from others as well) that's it's sometimes difficult to know how Fitbit is calculating resting HR: the value given often seems higher than the HR that's actually recorded at rest / when asleep. Could the HR graphs be colour-coded to show where the resting HR data is being drawn from, so these apparent discrepancies make sense? I would like to see lines every 5 or 10 bpm.

I would like to see more lines on the resting bpm chart. Currently they are about 40 or 50 bpm apart (example 0--50--100) I would like to see lines every 5 or 10 bpm. Would help see more exact bpm after done with exercising.

Hi @Davidroger, thanks for explaining why you would like to see more information on the resting heart rate graph. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I would like to see rate indications both above and below the indicated resting heart rate value. Checking sleep in restorations in my phone app, the only numerical notification is your resting heart rate numerically. Along the graph timeline during sleep, the graph goes above and below that resting heart rate, but no numerical values are shown.

Lines every 5 to 10 bpm would really be helpful!

Vertical lines with shorter time intervals would also be very helpful--right now all it says is "noon" and not even sure where that is--no vertical lines at all.
