When I take my Fitbit off to shower, those movies get recorded as inactive. So it says I have 13 more inactive minutes that I do when I click on my hourly activity. Shouldn't those minutes not count for anything?

@WheresYourShoe   Our Fitbits only track what the accelerometer "sees" and we all need to take our Fitbits off.  Fitbit recommends taking it off to shower, because soaps, shampoos, etc., can weaken the seals.  We also need to give our skin a break.  I see this as a necessary limitation, one we all live with.

Yes, I understand we need to take off for the reasons you stated. My problem is Fitbit saying I'm "inactive" during the time I'm not wearing it.
