Version 20.26 wrong heart rate

After updating to Version 20.26 the heart rate is wrong. In my case it seemed like it is about half of the actual value. Moderate walking at 50 bpm while my actual heart rate was about 100 bpm.

Avoid 20.26, it is a bad firmware version.

I've been seeing this during activities now too, where I don't recall seeing the half heart-rate before 20.26. The watch is snug and it happens indoors as well, which should be a great lighting environment…
