HRM-Pro Plus and Epix Pro (Gen2)

Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) user. Had been using wrist heart rate for open water swims, decided to get a HRM-PRO Plus for more accurate information. So far the stored data from the strap monitor indicates the same heart rate (low) for the whole swim, when I go back to wrist only HR I get my normal variation and ranges. Has anyone had this issue?
