Could that be something to do with vertical as opposed to horizontal?I would also add that it depends when you take your heart rate.
I have discovered my resting heart rate when I wake in the morning is around 48bpm.
It was this when I came round after surgery a couple of years ago. The nurse was surprised but not concerned.
But sitting at my desk in the middle of the morning, it is more likely to be in the 50s.

I am not a super fit athlete. I wish.The general standard for pulse rates at rest is between 60 and 100. Super fit athletes will have much lower ones.
Ah but she is a young athlete?My dad has an actual condition where his HR goes up, like really up, when someone tries to check it.
With the advent of smart tec his doctor now checks the history on his watch. He used to have to wear a HR monitor for 24 hrs to get an accurate number.
As a counter my daughters resting HR is in the mid/high 40's according to her fitbit.

Sometimes machines are not accurate. Have you tried measuring your pulse rate the old fashioned way?
I have a good handle on the blood pressure figures. It was the heart rate that caught me by by surprise. It was lower than I expected and when I looked it up, much on the internet suggested below 60 was concerning if one wasn’t an Olympic athlete or the like.Possibly more important is.... how is your BP?
That also is greatly influenced by posture while measuring.....
The old fashioned way. No. I might try it.Sometimes machines are not accurate. Have you tried measuring your pulse rate the old fashioned way?
I use a Oximeter to keep track on what my heart rate is and the saturated percentage of oxygen in the blood. The reason for this I have AFib, and I prefer to see what my heart rate is.But do any of us know about our pulse rate at rest and levels expected. I recently bought a blood pressure monitor that also measures pulse rate and at certain times I am registering well below 60 bpm including low to mid 50s.

Thanks. First and foremost I bought the device to measure my blood pressure. So the heart rate function is an added bonus.I use a Oximeter to keep track on what my heart rate is and the saturated percentage of oxygen in the blood.

I just put it on my finger and my heart rate is 65 bpm, and my SPo2 is 94 % which is ok, I start to worry when the bpm climbs past 100, and the o2 starts going below 80%.
Oximeters are quicker and easier to use than blood pressure machine.
