I'm not sure this thing Fitbit is really water proof, each day in the shower it say my heart rate is some crazy high number.  Once I'm out of the shower everything returns to normal.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?

It is not the ionic misbehaving, it is the fact that the HR light monitor doesnt work correctly when it is wet. Something to do with how the HR light travels through water. When I swim and use smart track to track it I get crazy HR readings, but if I use the exercise start and stop the it turns the HR monitor off forbthe duration ofbthe swim.
