I'm considering to purchase a Fenix 5S or a Fenix 6S but I keep reading about the heart rate issue. Has this been solved? Or people still not getting the correct HR measurement? Thank you

It's been accurate for 9 months, but since 13.10, not at all. Even jumped from 80 to 140bpm on a short walk yesterday.
HR is still not entirely accurate and think Garmin has done all it can with the current sensor technology unfortunately. You need to be wearing it not too loose but not too tight and it takes around 30…
My heart rate monitoring used to be very good, and very accurate compared to a strap monitor. But since v13.10 of the software it's been reading very high. Frustrating.
Have similar issue with Virtual Run when using any third party app. Watch consistently gets heart rate way too low. 95 compared 140 on same wrist monitored by an Apple Watch. Walking seems fine/more in line with the data I'd expect. Been the same through v14 and v15.
