Active minutes - big difference between watch and dashboard

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.
