HR during exercise very inaccurate after update

I returned my first FitBit a few weeks after buying it because it would frequently not show my HR while I was exercising accurately, for instance it would do these big drops from 120-130 down to 90 etc.  I thought I just had a flawed Versa 2 so I bought another one.  It seemed ok for a few days but did the update 2 days ago and when I was on the elliptical this morning it bounced between 90 and 130 or so.  I took my pulse manually and it was at 126 during those times it was showing in the 90’s.  This is very frustrating to me.  I love so much about this FitBit but HR needs to be accurate.  This effects calories burned and the zone minutes also.  I am quite disappointed and will probably be returning this one also.  I don’t know if its a SW or HW issue but I am tending to think it is a SW issue.

 

 Here is the corresponding graph and you can see it dipped numerous times even though I was working out really hard.

I wore another smart watch at the same time for comparison and it looks accurate with this graph:
