What is your resting heart rate ?

This may no longer be a recognised tool, but isn't one indicator in fitness how quickly your heart rate returns to a lower level following exercise?
(I've just upgraded to a Fitbit charge 2 to monitor changes in my heart rate)

Yup, absolutely.
But it's another frustration, as well: As one progresses, it gets harder and harder to stay aerobic (even during exercise), let alone AT & beyond. HR drops back to sub-aerobic way too easily.
Some frustrations are more satisfying than others.

With rowing as my sport, even with lifting where it should be (and progressing), maintaining HR intensity is always the key challenge.
Strength => more power, same HR . . . therefore, need more intensity => higher boat speed, higher HR. All good.

The last time I had it checked a few weeks ago it was 50 bpm.0

76 for the last 30 days. Which is actually really good for me. I tend to have a high resting heart rate and have since I was about 14.0

This is why I don't fuss to much over my resting heart rate. The factors you mentioned above of mine are stellar.2 -

Lowest mine is recorded as is 37 but generally between 42-48.0 -
Low: 58, high: 640

I'm between 63 and 68. Does it not depend on age also? My 16 year old daughter has a much higher resting heart rate than me0

Resting heart rate isn't particularly age dependent, among adults (not sure about teens, though very young people, say under 10, do have higher rates). For adults, resting rate is mostly genetics and fitness.
Maximum heart rate, looking at broad groups on average, tends to be lower with age (again, for adults). So, in one sense, MRmax is mostly genetics and age. But individuals who stay active and fit don't experience a drop with age that's equivalent to the decline population-wide, typically.
How fast your heart rate goes back from high to normal after vigorous exercise is mainly about fitness (fitter = drops faster).
All of the above is for otherwise more or less healthy people; certain disease conditions or medications are a wild card.0 -
