Watch 6 heart monitor consistently way too high during activities

[userL1nZptBUlJ]

When I use my Watch 6 heart monitor during rest, it is accurate. I know this since it is easy to check my pulse in this position.

But when I've been using it during a workout (Health app->exercise), it has been consistently way too high. I can't check my pulse manually during such activities but the watch gives me rates that are almost impossible. I've seen articles that state the same thing.

Is this simply a monitoring weakness that I have to accept and not use it for such things? Or can something be done about it?

That also happens with the watch ultra, I really don't understand why the sensors are still having issues with HR, other brands do fairly well. Hopefully samsung improves the algorithms or whatever it is they have tool🙏
