Show Active Minutes on Watch, not just app

I had my Fitbit Charge 3 for 4 years and really liked it, however, since the batteries are not replaceable (an issue all itself - not planet friendly) I finally had to get another device. I got the Fitbit Charge 6.

Active Minutes used to be my "main" metric, but now I switched to mileage.  I am happy I can see the Active Minutes in the app, but why can't I see it on the watch? It can be on a swipe down screen, like the hourly movement...

Since I can't see Active Minutes on my watch, I am constantly checking my phone to see how far I am. That seems silly.

Active Zone Minutes is okay, but I prefer regular Active Minutes.

According to the manual on page 32, you should be able to swipe up from the clock face to see Active Zone Minutes.

Hello @OhMyDogs 

As @gdio53 mentioned, you should be able to see your Active Zone Minutes by swiping up from the clock face.

You might also want to see if there's a clock face that you like which shows your Active Zone Minutes on the main display. If you would like instructions on how to change the Charge 6 clock face, see page 24 in the Charge 6 manual (<-- click link).

I don't mean Active Zone Minutes, I mean just plain ol' Active Minutes. True minutes, not "minutes" based on your zone (either 1 or 2 "minutes" per minute).

This post might be helpful: Active Minutes vs Zone Minutes (<-- click link)

If I'm reading the information correctly, Fitbit is using Active Zone Minutes instead of Active Minutes for the recent devices.
