Is this a bug? Daytime vitals

When your resting heart rate is lower then usual it says that the vitals are ‘slightly off’, should this not be seen as favorable?

Start with the More Info button.


Bradycardia itself can be seen as normal and even healthy in some, though bradycardia can have other causes and considerations, as the message indicates.


Rhythms including bradycardia can be the result of general fitness, and of exercise, yes.


Non-transient changes and trends in heart activity, however, can be an indication of something else happening.


You’ll want to consider what (if anything) might have changed as described in the message and in the More Info information, and may then consider discussing your exercise and activity and cardiac concerns with your primary care provider (rather than with some internet randos in a forum).

Depends on how much lower compared to your normal range.

You'd be better off seeing a doctor than seeking advice on a technical forum based on measurements using a consumer device.
