HRV: ithlete versus elite HRV

 I tested 2 apps to record morning HRV.  I used both apps first thing in the morning for 2 weeks, alternating which app I used first.  There are several different measures of HRV, and I used rMSSD because it was common between the 2 apps and is commonly used to report HRV.

I got very different HRV values for the 2 apps.  


Elite HRV measured a lower mean HRV that was much less variable than My Ithlete.  The latter uses a shorter (1 minute) measurement window versus Elite (2 minutes, after calibration).

Am I missing something?
