Do you think you think it might be worth getting assessed by medical professionals before getting too disappointed ?
I have a Garmin watch and it does some pretty weird thing. My heart rate is super high apparently sometimes, it can tell me it's 180 during warmup when I'm hardly breaking a sweat, then go back down to 100 out of nowhere.
Maybe my heart is not working properly but I tend to think it's the "smart watch" doing funny things. The chest HRM seems more accurate but definitely not perfect because it relies on sweat for good conductivity.

Furthermore, the numbers from the Watch show clear trends; if the data was scattered or random, I would think that's "doing funny things." A clear change in data mere days after a COVID diagnosis… that's not a coincidence, c'mon.
