For the first time I tried my Fitbit Charge 2 while bicycling back and forth to my work. It is aproximately 6km and it took me 22 minutes per way according to my Fitbit. The strange thing is that while cycling to work gave me 20 active minutes, cycling same way back home gave me 0 active minutes. Both rides were auto detected by my watch and lasted 22 minutes. So why did I not gain active minutes going back? Could the reason be that I had to stop twice due to red lights?

@c0penhagen Welcome! It's nice to have you on board!

 

I will gladly assist you with this and sorry for the late reply. You are correct. The stops may have affected your active minutes count as they need to be 10 consecutive minutes of activity to count as such. You can read how they are calculated here.

 

Let me know how it goes.
