Almost perfect

I love this watch. It’s lightweight, tracks everything I need. My only complaint is the HR monitor is not consistent. When compared to my chest strap, it’s often off by a good 50bpm right in the middle of my workout then will sometimes correct itself. This is a huge inconvenience when I’m trying to track power zones. I’d rather not have to wear a cheat strap too, but looks like it might be my best option.
