Sense lags in accurate heart rate readings.

So I had a Charge HR  years ago.  I used to walk up this hill and felt really winded.  The Charge  would say what my HR was.  Several minutes, maybe Half mile later it would be back down and according to my perception too.    Now with the Sense I do that same hill, feel really out of breath (being several years older) and it says 110 bpm.   Um no!   Crest the hill still 110.   Keep going, slowing some to catch my breath.  Past another 2 houses and things should be much better as in the past and whew, back to normal.  What's the heart rate say there? and even a quarter mile later?  148!!   Sorry, Fitbit that was several minutes ago.   I take my pulse by hand and it's not 148,   more like 100.  Why can't you get back to the basics?  Sure I like answering my phone and tracking sleep, but the whole Fitbit was invented to do steps, distance and heart rate!
