Just changed from my trusty Charge 2 and have been met with a large increase in heart rate on my runs which is getting worse each day. This morning I set off and within 100 metres I was at 170bpm, usually see this at the peak of a big hill. 

 

edit - can’t seem to attach images. 

I feel no different to before or day to day but need something I can rely on whereas this is completely all over the place. 

Anyone else experiencing this before I return and try a Garmin?

Try tightening the band one more notch.  I found with my Versas and now with the Sense that going from comfortable to snug (but not constricting) gave me a heart rate in line with what I got from a chest strap.
