Charge 6 - How to Manually logging Active Minutes?

[hennis001]

My Charge 6 stopped tracking a workout for over 15 minutes.  I want to adjust the active minutes it logged.  Per the user instructions, I should be able to go to the Today screen, tap the + button in the lower right corner, and there should be an option to manually log active minutes.  But there isn't.  I only have an option to manually log sleep, weight, and cycle details.  Attached below is a screen shot of what the app is showing me.

How do I add my active minutes?  If I have to delete what was automatically logged first I am fine with doing that.

@hennis001   I don’t know where you are seeing this information, but you can’t manually add active zone minutes.  They are awarded based on your heart rate data.  You just wear your Fitbit.  Recorded exercise isn’t required.

It appears you didn’t read my comment accurately.   I’m well aware “I just wear my Fitbit”.  The situation I’m describing is when the app DOESN’T log active minutes.

I read in the USER MANUAL (today) that the functionality to add active minutes exists.

My Fitbit literally stopped tracking for about 15 minutes while I was exercising (and I can absolutely verify I’m not dead).  I watched the app not register any activity with my own eyes.

If the Fitbit is tracking my hear rate then I would presume it would be fairly accurate. If not, as the user manual states, I should be able to manually add my active minutes.

I’ll wait for a Fitbit moderator to comment.

@hennis001 do you have the latest app version? I'm on an Android app version 4.35 (unsure if that's the latest).  My snip as example, you can't log active minutes but you can log activity and input the minutes using type of exercise that way.

It's interesting you don't have the "activity" option.  Your snip doesn't show "start exercise" option either.  Maybe reinstall the app?

@hennis001  Did you perhaps just switch from  Charge 2 to Charge 6?  The Charge 6 and all the current Fitbit models measure (active) zone minutes, i.e. AZM, not zone minutes any more.  AZM depend only on intensity, not on the length of the exercise.
See https://support.google.com/fitbit/answer/14236509?

As for the options you are seeing, I don't recall ever seeing the option to add Zone Minutes.  Did you see that in the Charge 6 user manual?  The options you are seeing where you are within the Today screen when you tap the floating + sign.  To see more options, get to the beginning base of the Today Screen.
