@cumbrian-runner hi, yeah, I have the newest firmware as well.
I did a hard reset and did a 5km test run, and compared the activity with my old garmin forerunner 255 + polar verity sense arm band.
Looks much better now, there are some wobbles here and there (like showing up 10bpm higher in around 18minutes), but overall it is pretty good (162 to 163 bpm average).
My 5km run:

Climbing the stairs still not quite good, the HR is updated to proper values only after i stop for a while, and yes I had the watch pretty tight on my wrist and a bit above the bone.
And to indicate what was going on before hard reset, one of my walks:
