Fast walk and low heart rate vs slower pace and faster heart rate

Hi all, I'm new with monitoring my heart rate and maybe my issue is normal. Something I walk or cycle quite fast and my heart rate is not going up much (80-100 bpm) and sometimes I don't go that fast and my heart rate goes like crazy (110-130 bpm). What's happening here? Should I check if I feel stessed, did I just eat, is this a normal thing?

How loose do you wear the tracker?  I ask because I found my heart rate would be all over the map when I'd move my arm a lot; once I tightened the band down my heart rate tracking stabilized.

Inaccurate readings. Because no not normal response to increased intensity that could be explained by anything else.

 

Confirm you know how to manually take your pulse for 10 sec, math it out, and compare to Fitbit.

 

And checking what shipo said - but still learn how to manually check.
