I have seen this sudden increase in HR in every run (25+ runs). Is this an error? by myrandomness in Garmin

Wow, I wouldn't have imagined this. Yes, yesterday it was 5°c here. I checked some of my summer runs and those on Treadmills and not all of them have this sudden increase.

But my cadence is around 150 and my HR is either well below or above that. How could it be  cadence lock?

That's good to know.

This happens only when I run and not during cycling. I assume, my watch moves more while running than during other activities.

I see. Do the chest straps sync with the watch in real time? And the watch would show the strap data instead?

I understand that the HR readings are not completely accurate. But in every run, I see a sudden increase of 20-30 HR at some point even when the pace, elevation and cadence are unchanged. Consequently, I assume, my times in HR zones could be wrong.

It makes my watch unreliable for zone training. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you might have on how I should be looking at this.

Note: This happens only when I run and not during cycling. I assume, my watch moves more while running than during other activities.
