heart rate monitor going while off the wrist

[thejesus]

Hi all, i have the fitbit sense, the heart rate monitor seems interesting but if im not wearing the fitbit it will still report sections of heart rates during the day when i wasnt wearing it, and im assuming this will affect the overall reports for heart rate health etc.

is this happening to anyone else? how do i stop it from reporting when im not wearing it?

@thejesus, I find that if I lay the Sense face down when I take it off, the heart sensor turns off very quickly.  I did learn, though, if I put it on a polished surface, such as a counter, to place it on a facial tissue or a piece of cloth so that it doesn't slide off the counter.
