@jeffinohio   I can’t quote you a source, but it sounds entirely possible.

@LZeeW , Thank you for your help. 

@jeffinohio , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message and information. If you get a lot of vibrations while wearing the Versa 2, this might cause the heart rate is not read or recognized correctly.  That is why you might see inflections during the readings. 

You could try wearing the watch tighter during the activity with the vibration, so that the sensor rests on your skin, and can read the heart rate easier.
