Resting heart rate on my iPhone dashboard doesn't match what it says on my desktop dashboard. Does anyone else have this issue? My desktop dashboard is always 1-2 points higher. I wonder if there is a fix.

I routinely see a difference of one BPM, I've never seen two.  As I understand it, the phone based apps round up and down by .5 BPM to the nearest whole number while the web interface rounds up to the nearest whole number; said another way, a tracked BPM of 42.25 will be reported as 42 on a phone and 43 on the web screen.
