Active minutes didn't notice my walk?

Hello there,

I'm new to Fitbit, still in my first week and I love it.  This morning I went for a 37 minute walk.  It says I was in the fat burn zone for 29 minutes.  Yet it's only giving me credit for 12 active minutes today.  Halfway through the day yesterday I switched which wrist I wear it on, but I registered it in the app.  Is this an error?  Should I put it back on my left wrist?  (I'm a rightie.  My left wrist has a titanium plate and it was a little annoying on that wrist.)  Thanks a lot!  I'd love to get credit for that walk!

Active minutes are independent of exercise minutes. 

Active minutes are based on your calorie burn not on minutes exercising. 

 

Just curious, did the walk get recorded correctly?
