Include Active Zone Minutes/Active Minutes in the app for all devices

[Josephgal]

The latest research indicates this is a better measure than Active Minutes alone. I understand it can't be added to old devices, but it should be possible to calculate and show in the app in a chart.

Since Google Fit is free and has this information (Heart Points), excluding it doesn't differentiate devices, but just makes people check the Google app

Fitbit already said they would bring this to other devices when it launched - what's the hold up?

On my Charge3 I can see the active zone minutes for any activity. Please add some sort of graph and goal setting for the active zone minutes over time, as the data is there, just not reported.

Hi @dwilson1.6180, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see Active Zone Minutes on Charge 3. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I love the feature of Active Zone Minutes on my Ionic!   My son uses a Charge 3 and wants it too! 

Please make it available to Charge 3!

The heart rate and active time is already captured by the Charge 3!   It is just a matter of allowing the calculation of Active Zone Minutes to be displayed on the app!

Please activate AZM in Charge 3 devices.  Thank you.

Zone minutes for the charge 3

I've requested AZM to be added to the Charge 3 elsewhere.  The charge 3 must collect all the information needed and FitBit are touting this to be a better measure now.   Some press releases say it is being rolled out to the Charge 3 - but FitBit direct seem to imply not.  I feel quite cheated as a charge 3 user if it's technically possible and it's just a choice not to roll it out?? 

Also I've now been asked by a MarreFitBit to add the suggestion here - and yet YojanaFitbit above is asking people to post elsewhere.  It feels like we're running around in circles?

Please add active zone minutes to Charge 3. My Charge 3 still works fine and I do not want to replace it just for the AZM feature.  

Any update if this is being considered or when it will be added?

The technology in the charge 3 makes it completely capable of switching from active minutes to the more intuitive active zone minutes. FitBit stated that the feature would be coming to versa and ionic families but nothing about the charge 3. This feature could be updated for the charge 3 as it would really benefit myself and my lifestyle and other

It is rather confusing for users to distinguish between active minutes vs active zone minutes. Even more confusing, active zone minutes is still not available for Charge 3. Can fitbit add this greatly advertised feature to all current active devices?

Chart for active minutes similar to steps chart. My med insurance provider adviser requests to know my active minutes over any specified period of time and cumulative. Exactly the same format as the step count chart. It makes sense and it should be easy since you already have the software for the steps feature.
