Forerunner HR Tracking for Strength Training

So I finally bit the bullet and moved to Garmin from my Apple Ultra 2. I love almost all about the watch (bit tricky to learn the interface vs Apple) especially the running features. However, the HR accuracy for strength training is abysmal. I am not looking for perfect accuracy, I can wear a HR strap to get closer. But its WILDLY inconsistent and often shows me in the 60s in the middle of heavy deadlifts. I never had this issue with Apple.

Im just looking for consistency, seems this has been a known issue for quite some time. Do I need to go back to my Ultra 2 for strength training days?

Same here, often the reported HR during strength training drops to the low 40s and after some minutes it goes to 90, returns to 60 and finally shows a plausible value.
