> the max heart rate, which the Garmin calculates but in Apple Watch seems to be fixed based on age unless you set it manually.

Is it like that for min heart rate? I have bradycardia, but lectures in my blood pressure monitor go from 44 to 41

Is it possible you mean 'readings' from the monitor rather than 'lectures'?

If so that would be a very easy translation error to make. ('Readings' and 'lectures' can be synonyms, in the sense of someone knowledgable reading something out loud.) But it could just be me misunderstanding: sorry, if so.

I also have bradycardia, one of the goals for having a good garmin fitness age for me is maintaining sub 46bpm heart rate. So I think it takes it into account
“Lectures” in your blood pressure monitor?
They probably meant readings, as the cognate for "lecture" in romance languages generally means both a lecture and a reading
