Heart rate reading problems.

Hi. So I have a garmin watch been using it for workouts but my heart rate reading is a lot lower than what it actually is when I’m in the gym.

sometimes it’s as if I haven’t even worked out when I clearly have. How do I get this fixed?

I have had the same problem. My heart rate rarely gets above 100 on this device and my calorie burn is very low. So low I should be gaining weight not maintaining. I had a FitBit HR previously and it was more accurate and half the price of the Garmin Instinct.
