accurancy heart rate

hello all, i am using apple watch series 8. I noticed that I had some isolated recorded heat rates around 150/160 bpm - even when i am not doing anything e.g. the heat rate recorded at time x is 80 bpm, the heat rate recorded at time x + 1 is 150 bpm and then the following recorded heat rate is 80 bpm. As i didn't perceive the heat rate going up so much neither there are good reasons for (e.g., gym), i am trying to understand if there are circumstances that can influence the way in which apple watch measures the heart rate and bring to overestimated data point. I add that i am using apple watch since November and i noticed this for the last month and half. thanks for your help.

Start with a good fit. Even under ideal conditions, Apple Watch may not be able to get a reliable heart rate reading every time for everybody. And for a small percentage of users, various factors may make it impossible to get any heart rate reading at all. But there are things you can do to help Apple Watch get the most consistent and best heart rate readings possible. Learn what else affects your reading.
