Heart Rate - No Activity vs during Activity

Question regarding heart rate. Does Garmin utilize some type of heart rate averaging during non activity? This is my experience....

Working out I am using a heart rate strap NOT connected to my 955 but is connected to my Garmin head unit. When looking and the reading from the two, the watch is way off my actual reading from the HR strap (I also put on my Apple watch when to tested - I needed some other data collection devices to create a baseline to compare). If I start a activity the watch the HR works perfectly.

Does anyone hear know if they do some type of averaging to conserve the battery? Or is there a preference that I have to adjust to get real time HR? I keep my HR displayed on my watch face, that's how I noticed this...
