Problem with monthly average of RHR

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

The monthly RHR (Resting Heart Rate) average does not add up. For example, if I took the month of June, and added up my RHR using the data for each date, it would average to about 58. However, because the last week of the month was averaging 64, it shows the whole month as 64! Same with last December, where it literally made up a number (70) for the monthly average that was about 9 higher than it should have been.   In months, where there are no spikes at the end of the month, it seems to calculate correctly. 

I have now checked in both the Android and iOS app, since I have both phones. Same issue.

This problem predates the current version of the app, if that helps.

Please help!

From the Android app, but iOS shows the same tooFrom the Android app, but iOS shows the same too

The data points from Dec 1 - Dec 31, 2022 are:

60, 60, 59, 59, 58, 58, 59, 58, 58, 58, 58, 58, 58, 58, 58, 57, 58, 60, 61, 63, 65, 67, 66, 66, 66, 67, 67, 68, 71, 70, 69

That averages to 61 (rounded down, as Fitbit seems to do).

The only "algorithmic mistake" I can see is that if the month overall is low and then it trends high during the last week, the Fitbit app just uses the last few days.  In fact, if you look at the Dec data (in one of the above posts), even the last week was not 70 as an average
