When Do You Stop Your HRM?

Following exercise, do you stop it immediately when you've finished your last exercise, or do you let it run until your heart rate has gone down? I typically stop it as I am finishing up my class/routine but a friend just mentioned that he lets his run until his HR has dropped. Just curious to see what others do.

    I stop mine when my exercise is done but that is only after a short wind down period, so usually that is when my HR is lower.

    I stop mine when my heart rate drops from "Fitness" into "Fat Burn", which is usually around 115 BPM.

    I keep mine on all day (watch). Am I not supposed to do that?
