Heart rate inaccurate

[Cesarthepleaser]

While working out my Fitbit Blaze heartrate sensor will say I'm only hitting 60-80 bpms when I'm doing high interval training. I can feel my heart beat is definitely way higher than that and I've been having this problem constantly. Any solutions?

I found by strapping my tracker a notch or two tighter during a workout helps accuracy dramatically.

agreed, that a pretty tight fit is best for heart rate readings.  that said, I have been working out, or in the yard, hard enough, that my Blaze is dropping to my wrist bones, covered in sweat, and still reading much closer to how hard it feels my heart is beating.

Agreed, when I work in the barn, even if I'm really sweaty, my heart rate plot looks pretty good, I only have issues when my arms are moving quickly.
