Remove my watch to shower yet the heart rate indicator shows 82!  Shouldn’t it show 0 since it’s not on my wrist?!

@Anmluvr I have noticed an oddity with the Sense. If you lay it on its side on a hard surface the HR light does not go out and it records something much like a heartbeat. Since then I lay mine face down on a soft surface.

Hi. Thanks for your hint, but it doesn't matter what surface I place it
on, the heart rate continues to show a varying heart rate when off my
wrist! I did a live chat with Fitbit, we shall see.....
