Fitbit Ionic - Active Minutes vs Zone Minutes

[DaveS13]

I recently updated my Ionic and see that on the app dashboard I now have Zone Minutes vs Active Minutes.  I will have to get used to the Zone Minutes.  

My question is this - is it possible to show BOTH Active Minutes and Zone Minutes on the App Dashboard?

@DaveS13 A warm welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for getting in touch about this. 

Earn Active Zone Minutes for time spent in the fat burn, cardio, or peak heart-rate zones. To help you maximize your time, you earn 2 Active Zone Minutes for each minute you’re in the cardio or peak zones. Heart-rate zones are personalized based on your fitness level and age. Learn more about it in this article. 

It's not possible to have Active Zone Minutes and active minutes showing in your Dashboard as this has changed in the latest firmware update.

I'll be around if you have any additional questions!

A workaround which I use is to use the 101remix clock face. This seems to show the old active minutes.  When I swipe up to see the today totals on the watch it shows zone minutes.   EG this am I did a 30min treadmill.  The "remix"  face showed 30 minutes. But swiping up (then left) showed 42minutes (because of some fat/cardio minutes in the half hour).   

The phone app just shows the new zone minutes.  But at least I can see both on the watch.  

Hope this helps. Regards to all.

@Fredbumble It's nice to see you in the Fitbit Community.

Thanks for sharing the workaround that you found, I can confirm that if you use a clock face that still displays active minutes, you have the option to display both active minutes and Active Zone Minutes. 

Hope I can continue seeing you around!
