First post! Got my Sense 2 and used it at my gym for the first time today. I'm seriously confused though - the # of zone minutes are higher than the length of the workout session! Anyone know what this would mean? Hopefully this can  be seen publicly as this is what I see: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GFLYsF7tz6sXiA616

On phone app, click on Zone Minutes circle to read about zone minutes.   Get double for cardio and peak zones.

Or read about here: What are Active Zone Minutes or active minutes on my Fitbit device?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm breaking up with Apple so this is new to me. This seems odd to me but I'll run with it.l since it's all relational anyway!

That goes along with latest recommendation from CDC and I think American Heart Association: more credit more higher intensity exercise.  That's a change that Fitbit made just a few years ago, along with changing from "Active Minutes" to "Zone Minutes" and taking resting heart rate into account to calculate the heart rate zones.
