Is there an alternate to active zone minutes?

Is there any way to get Active Minutes to show on watch and in app instead of just on dashboard through the website?  I use a Versa 3 and an Iphone XR.

 

I have a left bundle branch block (the bottom left chamber of my heart goes stupid and beats a little slow sometimes).  I've noticed lately that my heart rate on my watch will jump into active zone range while I'm doing my walk.  I walk 11 miles a day at a slow to medium pace (21 to 23 minute mile) and I'm not having panic attacks.  I compared with a pulse oximeter and where the watch showed 105 bpm the oximeter showed 75.  I have manually checked and it ranges between 75 and 90.  Definitely not active zone range.

 

I have cleaned both my arms and my watch with alcohol.  I have tried it on both arms with the same result.  I have restarted my watch numerous times.  I have done a factory reset.  I have worn my watch two fingers above my wrist (because it was doing the same thing on my wrist).  I certainly cannot afford to upgrade to the Versa 4.

 

Is there anything I have forgotten to do to make the heart rate register closer to normal?  I'm totally cool if the watch can't always handle how my heart beats.  It works, for the most part, the rest of the time.  However, with that in mind, active zone minutes don't work for me and that takes a whole big chunk away from why I use my watch in the first place (heart rate and activity).  Are there any plans to bring back active minutes to be viewed on the watch and in the app?

Hi @Mahdevah - you can't fix the heart rate reading inaccuracies, it's a known issue well mentioned in posts in the forums, and you can't change from active zone minutes in the app.

But the clock face SimpleClockPro enables you to see Active Minutes (on it's second view) without being adjusted for heart rate. There may be others in the Gallery if you don't like that one.
