No it should detect it throughout workouts that are meant to measure it. Unless you turned on the Reduce GPS and heart rate readings feature below.
The main causes of unreliable readings are
For the reduced readings setting see

also twice during work out the bpm started under 100 then stopped after it went up to above 180.

"Snug" is a subjective thing, but means contact is maintained with the LED panel at all times , that is you cannot cause an air gap by moving the wrist, but not so tight as to cause pain after some hours or wearing.
My definition is you can get the end of your pinkie between inner wrist and strap but not a forefinger.
Gapping is likely to create an artificial spike in BPM in all sport watches I have used before.
Go back to Apple support and have it looked at

thanks. The pinkie can just get between.
not sure why it’s missing bpm. That’s the most worrying
not sure what else to do. Any advice welcome.
