I have a Pixel 3 watch with Fitbit for EKG tracking. As a side benefit it has other tracking apps such as the sleep app. Now this morning I got out of bed and moved to the living room and my wife & I chatted for 3/4 hour before breakfast. My sleep app showed me sleeping til 8:25 AM. Over an hour extra then real. This makes me question everything else on this app including the AFib warning dependability which is what I bought the $500 watch for.

Hello @TrueBoy
My apologies if you have already reviewed this help page on how Fitbit devices, including Pixel Watches, automatically detect sleep (<-- click link).
If your walk to the living room was short and you sat relatively still during your chat with little/no arm movement, then it's likely that your Pixel Watch tracked that you went back to "sleep". Kind of like getting up to go to the bathroom & going back to bed.
My Pixel Watch will track me as sleeping when I'm sitting still for an hour or so playing games, browsing on my laptop, reading, watching TV, etc. When that happens, I delete the erroneous sleep log in the Fitbit app.
Were you able to correct your wake time in the Fitbit app?

Hmm..something does not quite make sense to be. I got up ate a banana and drank some water and then sat down and engaged in conversation and the record showed sleeping. How then when you are laying still in bed can it show awake for half an hour. It doesn't equate in my mind.
