      @isazi Can confirm. I’ve set my max hr, and zones adjusted.

        Incidentally. Does anyone know why the watch asks about resting heart rate? What does it use this for?

          @loryland The zones the watch uses are in the user manual. I adjust my max on the watch to have the zones match my training zones as close as possible. This works for me.

              @aleksander-h - I suspect that this helps determine sleep and recovery calcs.

                @jamie-bg I think so too but ay idea where does it come from and does it change from time to time? In the watch my rhr is 60 and that’s too high.

                  I think 60 is just the default. Click it and you can change it.

                    @aleksander-h yes I changed it. Would be cool if the watch would change it automatically according to fit level.

                      @jantikainen be careful. The value is resting heart rate, not minimum heart rate (when sleeping).
                      Resting heart rate is when you sit on your sofa day-dreaming.

                      If you set resting HR too low it will always think you are stressed…

                        Hmm. That’s interesting.

                        Now that we have 24/7 HR tracking, would be nice if the watch could determine resting HR itself, and maybe adjust it a couple of times a month if necesarry.

                        [Edit] Is this actually documented anywhere? Can’t see any mention of it in the S7 manual. Only mention of resting HR seems to be where to find it and how to change it. No mention of what it affects.

                          @egika Yes no problem. It was set to 60 by default but when I measured it I had like 47 so I changed it to 50 which is more correct than 60.

                            @egika By the way, this is what Firstbeat write’s in their blog about resting hr,

                            “How is resting heart rate determined?
                            Resting heart rate refers to the lowest level at which a heart rate can momentarily drop. Often the time of rest and the lowest heart rate is in the morning at 03–06, the circadian rhythm of the rest of the body with physiological reactions is at its calmest. Heart rate measurements taken during coffee breaks or on home sofas certainly provide direction, but true resting heart rate is always measured overnight”

                              @egika and that is exactly what mine was doing. Have since pushed it up a bit based on my 24/7HR graphing and my recovery is now making much more sense.

                              Based it on the phone apps sleep chart, put in HR against it. Wasn’t overly that much different to initial rate but has made a difference.
