Curious about heart rates

So since fit bits and every other device with heart rate monitoring seem fairly common, I was curious about people's heart rates.
What's the highest, lowest and resting heart rates you have recorded in a fit bit or exercise machine or even just fingers on your wrist.
Highest: 140-150 Bpm
Lowest 33-36 bpm
Resting 44-45 bpm

Highest: 189 bpm with a Polar chest strap HRM
Lowest:46 with Cardiio iPhone app and verified with jugular vein manual test

I have a fitbit Charge HR but is not accurate and don't rely on it.0 -

A what? You mean you counted your pulse rate?0 -
60-100 is a normal Heart Rate, My highest has run 210, but I have superventricular tachycardia, it's not acted up when I'm running thank God, very scary, I think my resting is 55, or according to my heart monitor it's what it was, so according to the pulse ox, my HR is around 60. I'm thinking my HR while exercising is 150ish.0

I'm usually around 160 or more for exercise. I don't pay much attention to it. My resting heart rate runs on the low side. They got a little nervous at the hospital when their machine showed a heart rate of 47. Right now my heart rate monitor is showing numbers down in the thirties, but I think the battery is dying.0

Hopefully it's only the batteries dying

Resting: 69 - 80 is normal when I've been sick it's been as high as 93
Highest(by Fitbit): 192
Chest strap has recorded peaks as high as 200 during cardio0 -
Highest was 172 with a Polar FT4 chest strap.
I don't really know my lowest, I think it was around 80? I only wear my chest strap for cardio and turn it on as soon as I'm starting and off as soon as I'm done, so I don't know what my resting heart rate is.0 -
Recent max: 169, scorsche rhythm+.
However I usually consider the 150s to be pushing things : - )
Resting per Fitbit: 59 to 65
Lowest: 49-53 by both, at night, half asleep.0 -

Still hoping they come back and answer this. I am rather perplexed.0 -
60-70 resting
100 walking
150-160 Working Hard
170-180 Balls Out
Of course I'm on meds for hypertension so it's tough to get higher than 165

what are you perplexed about? putting your finger on the jugular vein on the neck and testing HR that way?0 -

I think they're referring to checking the pulse manually using the carotid artery and are just mistaken as to which blood vessel is used to take a pulse.0 -

Yeah seeing as you don't take a pulse on a vein, you take a pulse on an artery.0 -

oh, ok. Carotid artery. Must have nothing better to do since he/she didnt give stats only was interested in my post...0 -
Ooh, interesting...
Highest: 206 bpm (racing in horrid heat/humidity)
Lowest resting: 41 bpm (typical resting is in the mid 50's)
Typical training run: 160 bpm
I have a low resting rate but with intense activity my HR shoots up pretty quickly.0 -

Eh, it's the internet, you were mistaken, ipso facto, it was inevitable someone was going to call it out.0 -
Minimum 48 (first thing in the morning)
Maximum 176 (as part of VO2 max test in a sports science lab)

33-36 bpm must be sleeping? I know there are a few studies on bears, and their energy output drops by more than half while hibernating. maybe that is the case with delta sleep?
as for me, my resting is a beat per second, and my max that almost has me passing out is 192 bpm, as measured by my Timex Zone Trainer hrm.
I am 28, about 40 lbs overweight, and I am very active athletically.0 -

Yeah sleeping according to my fit bit. While awake I have only seen it as low as 43.

I used to have a resting rate of about 85
About a third of the time i attempted to donate blood, i was turned away: "Your pulse is too high. Come back later". They automatically turned away anyone with a pulse >= 100, so 100 just sitting there doing nothing strenuous.
Overweight. Heavy smoker. High stress. Didn't sleep right.
Then I quit smoking. Lost 55 pounds. Quit the high stress job. Started eating appropriately. Sleep came naturally again and started training for and running marathons.
Not quite 4 years later, my (early morning wake up) resting heart rate has been as low as 38, but most days is between 45 and 55. It hangs around 60 - 64 sitting around during the day.
It's been as high as 220 while doing 800m repeats on Speed Day on the track and is regularly over 180 while training.0
