I've had multiple issues with the wrist HR acting inconsistently at times. Sometimes the HR will jump up 20bpm for as long as 4 mins before settling back down. Other times, the HR will remain too low by up to 30bpm before suddenly jumping up to the correct HR. I always wear my watch on the same wrist at the same tightness. Here is an example where my HR increased and decreased by about 15bpm suddenly for about 1 min even though my pace or effort has not changed.

I have the same issue - heart rate suddenly drops to 50-60 bpm when walking - for up to 20 minutes - then jumps back to normal - arbound 100
There is definitely something wrong with HR data alter update. My Fenix is paired with Polar Verity Sense and the problem is excatly the same. HR data are useless now.
Hi,
this weekend I ran with my F7 and an Apple Watch. I would compare HR values.
result: Garmin has sometimes high or low values when apple stay normal.
that’s happen 4 or 5 time during the run.
please…
Here is an example where for no reason my HR dipped by about 10bpm for over a min before suddenly jumping up by 30bpm to the correct value.
Same here.... 30bpm's too high and after 1.5km it drops down to "normal"...was an easy run allways on same pace....
