So. This morning at 8:20am I removed my versa 3 and put it in a locker. I put it back on at 10:45am. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the heart rate reporting and got what looks like heart rate data for that time period. ??  So odd.

@RED123   The optical heart rate LEDs are supposed to turn off if you aren't wearing it.  Sometimes this doesn't happen and I think it might have to do with a little band overlap -- an odd position.  If the green light gets reflected off something -- the band overlap -- the LED receiver gets a spurious signal.  Weird stuff happens.
