Heart rate information given

I have an Apple Watch series 4. I was using a FitBit Versa and before that a FitBit Blaze. Both of those devices gave me current heart rates. My Apple Watch often says that my heart rate was 9 minutes ago or longer. When in activity mode sometimes the heart rate is grayed out. Is there a way to keep the heart rate more current? Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 5

Maybe this comes closer to answering your question:

Instead of capturing heart rate every 10 minutes, the Apple Watch won't do so if you're in motion. ... You can check your heart rate any time using the Heart RateGlance. And when you're using the Workout app, Apple Watch measures your heart rate continuously during the workout
