Want to be able to switch back to Active minutes instead of Zone minutes!!!!

 

Active minutes were much more useful for me and many other people. There should at least be an option to choose what is displayed!

Don't know anyone who has tried it, but there is an option to delete zone minutes from your account, in settings.

The "Delete Active Zone Minutes" is not a way to "opt out" of AZM. If the following image is what you are speaking to...

It clearly states is there so you can remove individual AZM logging. For instance, if it is a muggy night, there is a good possibility that your heart rate will go up into Fat Burn or even Cardio for a minute or two multiple times during your sleep period. You can remove them by stating a start and end time.

 

It is like booking a "Driving" exercise to erase steps tracked because you were driving on a bumpy road or have a lot of uneven freeway overpasses during your commute. Before I retired in January, I used to get between 16 and 50 steps in my 40-mile one way commute in OC/LA traffic.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't click on it since I currently have over 1500 active minutes and 17000 calories for the week, and didn't want to loose anything. I suppose I'd have to click the link to see "It clearly states".

That is one of the reasons I included the image, so you wouldn't even have to do that!

Hi, before I try that do you know if it will go back to Active minutes?

I don't like zone minutes either.  I walk the same route for the same amount of time and my heart rate is pretty much the same too yet for the last two days Fitbit didn't track it in my Zone minutes 😕 Find some upgrades frustrating.

The option that @MarkMM mention only remove individual Active Zone Minutes booked within a particular timeframe. It does not allow you to opt out of Active Zone Minutes in favor of Active Minutes.
