I'm getting very large differences on daily active minutes between the watch and the Fitbit Dashboard. Have any of you seen similar discrepancies? Any idea what's causing this?

    I might be confusing "active minutes" on the dashboard with "zone minutes" on the watch and app.

    That's the likely issue.

    Active minutes is 3 x your BMR rate of burn for whatever you are doing, not sure if they still have a minimal chunk of time required to even count it.

    But your lowest HR zone could be below that 3 x BMR, so Zone minutes counting but no Active minutes.
    Or higher HR zone that would be 3 x BMR, but not enough time in 1 stretch to count to Active minutes.

    Same as Vigorous.
