Anyone STILL having heart rate accuracy issues with their Fenix 6?

Have updated the watch to ver 6 and sensor hub to 4.20 but still having lots of issues. It's really frustrating, when I am hiking, the OHR is grossly inaccurate. However, if i go out for a run, the readings are what I would expect from an OHR (for most part).

I have had enough, so going to log a call with support. Will see if they replace the watch and what my experience is with another unit.

Really not enjoying the fenix 6.

I tried different 6S because of the display but I don't think this is a HW issue. My experience with 2 other 6S and FW 5.0 has been that during a Cardio workout rebounding f.e. where the arms are moving a lot and in general the whole body jumping, sometimes after pausing for a few minutes I got insanely high HR like 170 instead of 140. And it wouldn't go down for many minutes. Definitely an issue. Several times. Now with FW 6.00 this hasn't happened at all. But too early to tell for sure. Sometimes with lower FW I also got insanely high reading during normal walking. Instead of 100-110 I got 140-160. Also a bug. Still has to be tested though. 

In general I have no HR issues atm with FW6.00 and 6S Pro. 

Same here. Very frustrated by the dialogue with support (you should be wearing a chest strap, read the articles, etc). I switched back to my Apple Watch 4 today and finally had an accurate heart rate again which allowed me to better manage my training sessions. A shame though, as I really, really want to like the Fenix, but it just has too many bugs in my opinion. Will put it on a shelve for now and check in a couple of months again..

Hello. This morning, I did a 3 hours trail with F6 Sapphire ugraded yesterday to 6.0 FW. Usualy, I use a chest strap because of inaccurate problems with WHR. But this morning, i used the WHR. This was better compared to 5.0, less delirious, but it noticed in each way down too high HR rates, often 160 bpm (I am 52 years old), while I ran in cool mode. I supposed it is caused by arms movements, shocks and other vibrations. Also, sometimes, in hard climbs, HR shown was not enough high... In summary, WHR is always inaccurate and bad. My opinion is this problem is an hardware problem caused by the adding of an unnecessary oxymeter and it will never work properly. This is why garmin is so quiet about this, why they do not communicate about this, why we have it in the a**... Hope I am wrong but I don't think so...

Yesterday as well I ve done some activities. The HR recording was perfect :)

What kind of activities ? Because yesterday, during hiking, it was correct for me. But not this morning in trail running, sometimes too high, sometimes too low. From next training, I will take the chest strap again because the WHR is not usuable for me, too much anomaly to training seriously...

Yes, it was an activity. Try only with all day tracking only.

Treadmill and weight lifting.

I'm seriously Impressed by the accuracy.
