This has been happening regularly and it's annoying. I wear a polar chest strap and while it says my BPM is 151, Fitbit shows below 120. Battery was 67% today so my suspicion it was low battery is gone.

Never had this happening so regularly before. I had a versa, a sense and now is sense2

I've always had this issue since I had the Blaze.  My solution for that was to use bungee cords as wrist bands and wear it above my elbow.  Now with the Sense 2, I bought the elastic straps, which I can expand and stretch it so that tracker is worn below my elbow.  It tracks relatively accurate now.

BTW, fitbit has their own algorithm on heart rate, where it always lags slightly.  It doesn't peak as high on sudden burst of energy, and it also make your recovery seem longer.
