Heart rate accuracy for "Sport"

Hello,

 

I have been previously using a Charge HR and used exercise mode when playing tennis. The HR tracking was pretty accurate going up to 190bpm:

 

Average heart rate 135 bpm

Time in heart rate zones

  • 6 min peak
  • 26 min cardio
  • 20 min fat burn

Now I switched to Blaze which doesn't have a setting for tennis or a general exercise mode. After a tennis match which the tracker recorded as "Sport" I have:

Average heart rate 94 bpm

Time in heart rate zones

  • 0 min peak
  • 0 min cardio
  • 21 min fat burn

Is there a way to improve the accuracy? It's essentially the same HR sensor, so where does the difference comes from?

 

Edit 1:

 

This is the monitored data after selecting an Exercise from the list intead of letting the Blaze autodetect:

Average heart rate140 bpm

Time in heart rate zones

  • 3 min peak
  • 28 min cardio
  • 26 min fat burn
