Versa 3 - Zone Minutes: When you got your minutes

[ShawnLN]

•  Why are my zone minutes broken up into multiple slices?
• Why do I only get a breakdown arrow on one of the slices?
•  Why not all the slices of time that I earned zone minutes?

@ShawnLN , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

You'll get the active zone minutes, depending on how long you'll stay on a heart rate zone during an activity. 

Keep in mind, that the active zone minutes differ from the minutes that you spend doing an activity.

First try to understand the difference between workouts/exercise sessions, and zone minutes.

• Zone Minutes - tap on the zone minutes circle near the top of phone app to see the lower heart rate limit of your Fat Burn zone.  Any time your heart rate meets or exceed this, you get Zone Minutes, no matter for how long.
• Workouts - you get credit for a workout generally for any auto-recognized exercise lasting the minimum time, such as a 15 minute walk.

When you get a credited workout, you get an entry in the 'days of exercise' tile that you can tap on to get the details.

These are the one that the zone minutes have a right arrow next to that point to the details.  The details pointed to are actually just the exercise summary from the workout log that the zone minutes are pointing to.  The zone minutes that don't get a breakdown were not part of a "workout". For example, you might climb a few flights of stairs and get your heart rate into the fat burn zone, earning zone minutes, but not for long enough to meet the criteria of being a "workout".

It might help to understand that historically "workout" or exercise session was the standard exercise measurement, with Zone Minutes coming along later, but exercise sessions still remain as a measurement, with the later Zone Minutes being added on top of them.

I hope that made some sense.
