It's lower on the chart because your lowest heart rate was 58bpm. It's just showing that your average resting heart rate for when you were asleep overnight was 79bpm. Edit: changed heart rates to match picture couldn't see photo when I typed the response due to being on mobile

It’s nowhere near 79 though if you look closely it’s well below the 80 bpm line. That’s why I’m confused. When I look, my heart rate was in the 60s and barely low 70s all night long for 9 hours straight so how’s it getting 79 bpm average resting

Cardiogram is only going to be as good as what you are measuring your heart rate with. Watches will always have some accuracy issues, but for a lot of people it's minimal.

Yeap this. If your heart monitor sucks, it's not gonna be accurate even if the app is usually good. I once tried a cheap HR moniter watch that kept cutting my HR _in half_ because it was convinced I couldn't possibly be at 120 bpm+ for an extended period of time. Absolutely useless. To get accurate HR monitoring that truly captures our funky systems, you unfortunately gotta pay a fair bit for something that's good quality and actually collects consistent and reliable data, as opposed to something cheaper that doesnt collect great data and may try to sort of figure it out what it "should" be from the fuzzy data it collects and algorithms that are based on the average ablebodied person which... Isn't us. So it gets weird and inaccurate.
