Heart rate monitoring during workouts

Is anyone else having inaccurate heart rate tracking during workouts? 

I wear the right on my right index finger and it fits snuggly enough and I have no issues measuring my heart rate manually when staying still. 

However during workouts the heart rate tracking is inaccurate and inconsistent. For example it may see a high of 135 for a moment even though my heart rate is around 160 for the majority of the workout (using the treadmills monitor). 

I had the same issue with the Galaxy Watch 4 even when Iā€™d move it further up my wrist, or using it underneath my wrist, to keep it nice and snug.

I was hoping the heart rate monitoring issues would have been addressed with a device a few years newer but that doesnā€™t appear to be the case. 

Fortunately I mostly care about sleep and step tracking so this isnā€™t a huge deal for me but it is a bit of a let down.

Came here for answers on a related issue: During rest I'm getting a hr reading every 10 minutes on my ring, but during multiple different activities over the last 3 days that should increase my hr and I'd assume should be detected as workouts and collect continuous data, the hr data is very spotty (only 2 data points in 2 hours) or missing readings entirely (have tried with good fit on index and middle finger both bad results)
