I'm not getting anywhere near as many active minutes worth my versa as I did my blaze. I'm doing the exact same activities. Today, it auto tracked 2 different exercises, sport 32 minutes. 177 calories 108 bpm and aerobic workout 20 minutes 111 calories 112 avg bpm. The versa only logged 25 active minutes total for the day. Where as it logged 69 active minutes yesterday and only auto tracked one exercise sport for 35 minutes. Does anyone else think that it's wildly inaccurate? Or how can it fluctuate so much from day to day? With my blaze I would've had well over 50 active minutes tracked for the day.

@Katmom04 You're probably familiar with the concept of active minutes and by now know how Fitbit tracks them. But, just in case I am posting a link to the help article here. You need to hit at least 3 METs for the exercise to earn you active minutes. If the workout is not strenuous enough (heart rate is not elevated enough in comparison to your resting HR), then you will not get credit for it. You will need to analyze the heart rate. Another thing is, with time you build up your resistance and have to put more into your training to see similar results in the form of elevated heart rate, active minutes and calories burned. Also, "active minutes are only awarded after 10 minutes of continuous moderate-to-intense activity." Just in case, you can reboot your tracker by pressing and holding the left and bottom right buttons until fitbit logo flashes.
