Your step count on your Fitbit may be one indicator of your activity, but the active minutes measurement will tell you if you’re getting enough of the right kind of activity to reduce your health risks and build fitness. Whether you use a Fitbit or another activity monitor that registers active minutes, here’s how to use this information to help reach your daily activity goal.Why Your Fitbit Active Minutes Mean More Than Your Steps.
Posted on January 16, 2018by Nicola Leach. Exercise Time Counts Beyond 10,000 Steps. Your step count on your Fitbit is one indicator you are active, but the active minutes measurement tells you whether you are getting enough of the right kind of activity to reduce your health risks and build fitness.Logan Strain March 15th, 2017 For your Fitbit, “active minutes” refers to any physical activity that is more vigorous than taking a relaxed walk. If it’s physical activity that causes your heart rate to spike, then it qualifies.
For example, if you go for a jog, then that activity will be logged as active minutes.When you’re taking “active steps”, you’re continuously taking steps for more than a few minutes at a time. An example would be when you walk your dog.
Passive steps are better than sitting on the couch, but active steps have more health benefits.Previously, Fitbit just counted very active minutes when calculating a user’s overall minutes. The company explained that the addition of moderate activity to the active minute count will impact users’ historical data and will give users more credit for exercises like brisk walks. While this change doesn’t affect how activity is sensed by the device, it does change the way Fitbit users will view their activit.Basically, active minutes are noted when the activity you’re doing is more strenuous than regular walking, which includes everything from a brisk walk to a cardio workout or run.
I’ve found you have to be “in the zone” for about 10 minutes before the dashboard recognizes an active period.According to FitBit’s own definition, an active minute is awarded “when the activity you’re doing is more strenuous than regular walking, which includes everything from a brisk walk to a cardio workout or run.I’m asking because, it will depend of the activity that your active minutes will count. Because trackers primarily track movement through the use of an accelerometer, they more accurately detect active minutes for step-based activities (brisk walking, running) than non-step based activities or activities that require more than steps (yoga, tennis).When I was first a Fitbit user I worried a lot about getting credit for steps I didn’t take so much so that I bought a Fitbit One (which is rated one of the most accurate trackers on the market), set up a separate account for it, and wore it at the same time as my wrist tracker.
The results surprised me.Then you can work up toward the goal of 10,000 steps by aiming to add 1,000 extra steps a day every two weeks. If you’re already walking more than 10,000 steps a day, or if you’re fairly active and trying to lose weight, you’ll probably want to set your daily step goal higher.
Because the Charge 3 primarily tracks movement through the use of an accelerometer, it is more accurately detect active minutes for step-based activities (brisk walking, running) than non-step based activities or activities that require more than steps (yoga, tennis, biking).In fact, for the first week of having the new Charge 2, I wore BOTH bands and I consistently found that the Fitbit band showed 30% more steps than my previous tracker. This was quite difficult to comprehend and I think my previous band was much more accurate than the fitbit.
Fitbit starts everyone off with a 10,000-step goal, and here’s why: It adds up to about five miles each day for most people, which includes about 30 minutes of daily exercise—satisfying the CDC’s recommendation of at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.Thing is, 10,000 steps per day might not make sense for you.With Fitbit, view progress towards daily goals for steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes. Logged workouts will pop up in the exercise calendar where aggregate exercise stats are recorded, showing improvements over time. Plus, with Fitbit SmartTrack™ know how many calories you’re really burning and use that knowledge to reach.
Step counts declined, but active minutes increased. Although step counts are down across all age groups, 42 percent of people have increased their active minutes and 31 percent have continued to maintain their same average level. This indicates that people moved from gaining incidental steps throughout the day to more vigorous walks that get.

Just bought the Fitbit charge 3 and it seems to add 500 calories onto every day compared to my Apple Watch.
Considering I’ve stayed in all day today and it’s on 1700 by 3pm, I’ve done nothing and I’m slim, is there a way to adjust this?
The dominant and non dominant arm / heart rate sensor both changed nothing on the calorie side
actually an industry and scientific experiment involving multiple fitness trackers, clinical testing and different participants showed that the average of error between fitbit products were around 25 to 27% and Apple was at 53%…. for some reason darker skin, gender(male) and higher weight also increased inaccuracy
sorry, your video and summation are incredibly wrong.
there is no fitness tracker that is even remotely accurate for calorie burn count.
Maybe the dominate hand versus your off hand. Also, you should burn more on the 2nd mile because your output is more. Because you are tired.
At the beginning of the video you say that the Versa inflates calories burned which is why you believe the Apple is better. BUT at 5:30 you did a 100 kCal row and you said the Apple watch gave you a reading of 66 kCal. Soooooo…….. the Versa wasn’t inflating calories burned, the Apple was underestimating calories burned……….
Hi
Nice comparison like I thought the results can you make a new one between Apple watch and galaxy active 2? Because they said active 2 has 8 sensors to make it more accurate close to apple watch or maybe same…please
great video walking is very underrated! intensity and active time Im with you there!!
I wonder if you would get a different reading if one would where the watch face on the inter side of the wrist. More like reading your pulse.
You should continue this comparisons between watches and eventually a chest strap. You are on to something here!
Gotta be honest, while it is a pretty large difference it would make more sense to meet in the middle between the two devices then to just say “I believe this one!”.
Not saying it is true but if you were to lean towards one I would think the fitbit device would be the one simply cause fitness is basically their sole purpose asnd they have been working on trackers/watches being there companies agenda.
Sorta like when you compare their website apps, fitbit obviously is more polished and better overall (I know its subjective, but majority would certainly lean fairly heavy toward the fitbit app) cause they have been improving and polishing that one site for many years.
It would then be a fair guess to say the same extends to their devices.
Aplle is literally all over the place in terms of what they do.
Just an opinion…I would suggest a chest monitor if you ever get the itch again to really narrow down things.
Still, that leaves us with the open question…Again I would lean toward the more neutral pov that it lies probably somewhere in the middle.
Thanks for the vid…You didn’t have to spend your time but you did and at the very least given those who watched something to think about and possibly take your study and try and improve/add on it.
Good luck and stay shredded my Friend
The apple watch UNDERESTIMATED calories vs the whoop strap in tests. I’m inclined to think apple is rubbish.
No device is perfect however
I rather a device that under estimates my calorie burn
then a device that overestimates my calorie burn..
While I believe that the Fitbit might be over exaggerating the calories burned, I think that the 1st and 2nd mile run comment was wrong. In this case I would believe the Fitbit to be more accurate because when you run the first mile, your body is not going to burn the same amount of calories as it would during the second mile (after an additional workout in between). At this point your heart rate has been up for a longer period of time and you would be burning more calories per minute towards the end of your workout than at the beginning. Since the Apple Watch had the same calories burned for both miles, it would lead me to believe that the apple is less accurate during a workout and is likely relying more on steps than hr and other factors
Also wondering if the Fitbit was set to being on the Dominant hand in the app settings, assuming he’s right handed.
My versa (special edition-that I LOVED)didn’t last 6mos before chipping and they won’t replace the glass, even for a fee. They want you to purchase a new one with a 20% off coupon. My Apple Watch 1st edition has scratches, still works and never had a screen protector…Today, I purchased the series 4. I have to strongly advise anyone that purchases Fitbit products to buy the additional warranty as the versa chips way too easy…..
I have an Apple Watch and my gym buddies wear Fitbit’s and Garmin’s. According to their watches, they’re burning 1600 calories more than me.
I was hoping not to see you shirtless for half the video, guess i was wrong
Every“body“ is different. You won‘t find a single device that is absolutely accurate for you specifically unless you constantly wear a mask and measure the amount of CO2 you breath out. With all those devices you need to find your very own Correction multiplier for the kcal burn given to you by a device.
I have Charge 3 and it does not have a LOG feature on the Dashboard and when I try to “log” steps, all I can do is “track” which means using a stopwatch like in a race. Already, my brand new Charge 3 will not sync with my phone, my laptop or Kindle, so I MUST manually log and I am having difficulty doing this consistently. Please help me.
I wear both… so I must look crazzzzeeee but it’s cool bc I love Fitbit and hubby just got me the Apple 5 getting use to it but counts steps better. The battery life is ok now that update and the calories burned are much much less than Fitbit. Apple makes you work even harder and I work hard to burn the apparently not hard enough to close that calorie ring
Yes I have just got Apple and I have Fitbit versa and I normal set to burn 2600 calories per day was goal well for the last 3 weeks I cannot for the love of me get the three rings completed on Apple!!!! According to my versa I have hit them but Apple measures I think the energy??? But the calories burned on Fitbit was WAY higher
What’s up with your distance tracker? The watch says I did 8.89 miles, but the apps says I did 7.95 miles for the same walk and same amount of time. Everyday, the watch and the app are about a mile off on my runs, even with the auto stride tracker on. I’ve tried resetting the watch, redownloading the app, re-pairing the Bluetooth…I dunno.
It changes as well. Sometimes the watch says I did more sometimes the in app tracker says I did more.
Is there anything about this watch that’s actually accurate other than the time?
Before jumping into this video one should do due diligence because, this reviewer is a self-proclaimed Apple fanboy so it does not surprise me that he is going to be biased. Having said that, I enjoy watching his videos not because it makes me want to buy into the IoS ecosystem, but helps me stay away from it. For 20 years I was held hostage by IoS only to realize that I had bought into a cult that was so limiting that Mormonism felt like a better option.
As against, Apple’s highly restrictive, big-brotherly attitude, I like the fact that Android treats me like an adult and lets me learn from my mistakes as I go. While Apple may claim that it employs Zen like approach it is only limited to its design language, otherwise Apple is as restrictive as any Abrahamic faith can be.
Actually Google is the one that literally puts into practice Zen philosophy to the TEE. It practices it by not limiting its users freedom in the name of SECURITY. And above all it offers its platform free to everybody from snoopy-doopy Huawei, to the Master’s of the Galaxy, Samsung. And just like Buddhism, each manufacturer can present his/her own take and build up on it.
Fitbit try’s to account for all activity plus metabolic rate. Neither are going to be 100% accurate. Both use the same photosensitive technology to determine HR. Both developers use different formula to calculate caloric burn. Given the fitbit is considerably cheaper than the apple and was only off 500 calories for the week, it’s a very good deal. It didn’t account for about 70 calories/day. Not bad at all.
Your testing doing fitness test on two watches that arnt even at the top of the class i enjoyed this video but if you want to a better comparison do a video on Garmin, Suunto,Coros and Polar all hundred times better then fitbit and apple when it comes to fitness.
Ok you have become my go to guy prior to purchasing electronics.
Not only are you Canadian but your reviews are real world not just someone reading the information off the tech sheets.
Yes am finally going to bite the bullet on a smart watch, will be getting an Apple Watch with your recommended accessories.
Thanks keep up the awesome reviews.
But even though you should really look up the concept 2 cal estimates, overall this is a really great video. I‘m currently trying to decide wich smartwatch to buy, or if it‘s even worth it buying one because of the inaccuracy. And I‘m so sick of all the people who only give positive reviews for especially the fitbit watches so thank you for actually reviewing the watches and adding your personal experience.
Watch is video he’s like all Asian he’s Apple bias… And yes, I’m asian too
Hmmm..my Apple Watch series 4 had me burning anywhere from 300-800 more calories a day than my Fitbit versa 2. While not doing any activity just a normal day the Apple Watch 4 has me at 2600 and the Fitbit has me at 2200. So ♀️
I have both Apple Watch and the Fitbit charge 3. The Fitbit charge 3 was giving to me when my Apple Watch screen cracked. So I have been using the Fitbit now for two weeks while my Apple Watch was away getting fixed. A few things different my Apple Watch say 7319 step and Fitbit charge 3 say 9209 steps huge difference in steps. Heart rate is the same on both watches. I have gone down stairs four times today Apple Watch tracked nothing’s for stairs and fit bit charge 3 says 4 floors right on track. The Fitbit charge 3 tracks all your km for day and Apple Watch only tracks your workout Kms. One down side the Apple Watch it wants me to do an outdoor walk once in awhile usually after updates to get Gps reading and new heart rate. Today it tracked only 3 minutes of my 27 minute workout so I had to stop the timer and change it to other workout. Total workout was 45minutes Apple Watch is out today it only tracked 31 minutes. So I Will going for outside tomorrow for walk to rest my watch. One other downside to Apple Watch it cost me $409.00 to fix the cracked screen. So buy Apple care. Apple store in Edmonton Alberta Canada didn’t tell me that the watch brakes easy. If I had to choose again. Another thing I like about the Fitbit charge 3 is you have to do 250 steps to change the step feature every hour were the Apple Watch to change the stand ring you only have to move for a few more minute which wasn’t even close to 250 steps it was less than half the time. It’s very frustrating when your working out and it won’t track your workout because of overcast day and gps won’t calibrate on Apple Watch I gave the Fitbit charge 3 to my husband as the Apple Watch won’t work with his Samsung phone. I would love to use both but it looks strange wearing two watches. One other thing I like about the Fitbit charge 3 its more comfortable to wear than the Apple Watch3. Also the fit bit charge 3 wanted me to eat more food than MyFitnessPal and weight watches app so it was a downside for me in two weeks as I gained 2.7 pounds instead of losing weight that same amount or more. I am down 75 pounds using ww app and MyFitnessPal plus my Apple Watch. Wish I could wear both watches for a few more weeks to see more difference. One plus side I have learned from both watches I will walk longer when changing the stand ring.
Please do a fitness comparison video between an Apple Watch 4 and a Polar Ignite Fitness Watch! There is not one YouTuber who has created such a video yet.
Ok. 40k Calories burned in 14 days is around 2,800 a day. Let’s say bare minimum your BMR is 2,200 for your body size which is a lowball. Let’s say you get in a decent 10k steps a day not including workouts since you seem pretty active. That brings your daily burn to around 2,700 literally just shitting, eating, and walking around work. Even a minimal workout would put you in the 2,800-3,000 range. Seems reasonably accurate to me.
I started this video for the content but I stayed because the dog
I’d like to see another review but wearing 3 smartwatches. Apple fitbit and the android
Calorie in vs calorie out is total nonsense. A calorie is not just a calorie.
What did you set your watch to? I haven’t purchase watch yet so want to see functionality first. Thanks
Well, I found out that my Fitbit is way less accurate with steps… it counted waaaaaay more steps than my “new” used Apple Watch ⌚️ series 2.
stop marketing and fix your devices, your product are total garbage. won’t sync won’t properly, app force close. garbage
How do you know that the apple watch is not under counting. You should use a ANT or some reputed HR strap to compare the HR of both watches.
Very dedicated and depth reviews and the best team mate
I think the reason people like seeing people eat food is they get to imagine the taste which is very similar to eating
So how do you know that the versa is less accurate than the Apple? Nevermind you answer this question…. But one point remains… What if the Apple watch is under counting, the machines seem to suggest this…. Great video in any case. BTW, your dog’s super cute and yes, great job on the body transformation…
I have a Firbit Inspire HR and we i wake up it says every day 369 Cal. This is a problem
Why isn’t this channel getting more views. It’s very well put together entertaining and informative. Thanks brotha
Your test is invalid as well because a you are supposed to wear these on your non dominant hand.
The Apple Watch has an Indoor Cycle option for exercise. The Bicycle exercise option isn’t appropriate.
The apple watch tracked the rowing properly! The concept 2 has only estimates wich are way too high for almost everyone. If you go on their website they’ll have a calculator to translate the estimates into actual calories burnt using more data about the individual. 60 cals sounds pretty accurate.
Well apple best guess estimate just got approved by the FDA so there doing something right great video love all the work you put in to your videos thank you for them
dude i just noticed this too! ive had my versa for 2 weeks and i thought i loved it until i started noticing i would get to 10,000 steps hours and hours faster than my previous tracker while doing the same thing! also saw it adds thousands of steps while i shower and get ready wtf. im returning it! i hate to spend the extra money but im going with the apple watch 4
You were NOT to eat your McDonald’s meal, so tell me why you made Monty drool over it during the whole video? Ignoring him is just TOO CRUEL (and you do that in all your videos). For Heaven’s sake, have a heart and pay attention to him! His loyalty to you HAS to be at least rewarded.
that is why I like to measure your heart rate or kilometres on gps
fantastic video. Im interested in your overall conclusion of how you would estimate your calories. Would you just take 500 off the total on your watch? what do you do? do you just mointor at what point weight loss occurs with your weekly calorie intake?
Your dog was really paying attention. I bet s/he bought the Apple watch.
Hey man thanks for posting this! Really helped me understand why my stats were so much lower with my Apple Watch! Cheers mate! And thanks for the healthy tips!
https://youtu.be/u-h0VfrZ8C4?t=501 Favorite part. Nice video. As a Fitbit Charge user I’ve been overall really happy with it, but at times the calories burned are definitely off. For instance, normal wrestling with my kids in the living room is tracked as really high on the calorie burned. Either way, neither tracker is perfect and gives you a guideline to start. The best thing to know is that your heart rate really had zero variance from one device to another.
The biggest problem I have with your experiment, is that you didn’t alternate which device you wore on your dominant hand. If you mentioned this I can only apologise however in every shot of you working out your apple watch was on the left hand.
its crazy to me that you sat in that chair not eating the burger in front of you for so long. If it were me, that would have been gone before the camera was set up
Thank you for the and comprehensive review. It was very good. So I have started using charge 3. It shows I burn 3400 calories a day. I pretty much have the same activity level for over a month and I have been eating like 2200 calories a day. I haven’t lost more than a pound for a month.
What’s wrong here?
Btw i extremely over weight but excerise 5 days a week. Moderate level. I lift weights and do cardio. Generally walk around a lot apart from the cardio in the gym.
I have to lose like 70 pounds. Any advice? Why am I not losing body fat?
My smart watch said I burned 700 cal in one day (including a 400 cal burn workout). Does this include the calories burned in breathing? If not, how many calories did I burn by just existing?
400kcal clean carbs or lean meat vs 400kcal of a bag of chips is like 1kg of steel vs 1kg of feathers. 400kcal=400kcal its the same amount of energy and you gain the same fat from it. Its just harder to eat 400kcal of veggies then one 400kcal burger.
Thank you for such a thorough review. It is the best comparison between the Apple watch and a Fitbit versa.
You have 1 adorable sweet little fur baby……I myself have 5 fur babies
Appreciate the full disclosure. I just estimate calories burned using my versa lite. I guesstimate 10% of number given. Id rather underestimate calories burned than over estimate. Stay Blessed
Mind-blowing. But all of the workouts can not done by me as I am 68+years old. Suggest some suitable workout for me
Hi, I am a new subscriber and use the Fitbit for fitness tracking, sleep tracking, and calories. This is a great video but considering it is two years old is it fair to assume the calorie information would be more accurate now? I use the charge 3
MIchael send some of that cold my way brother. Here in So Fla we don’t get out this time of year by Nov through March I go out to my cardio.
Fitbit is right Apple tracks active calories Fitbit tracks all
Thank you! Yes, the drop down to STEPS is key. No one else mentions that.:)
Scary I use a fitbit alta HR… considering an apple watch…. but does it count resting calories?
I’m thinking neither are accurate. You shouldn’t go by what they say. They are just activity trackers so you can see how active you’ve been. The more active you are the more it will show. That’s it.
Great video! Thanks for spending all that time making it! I really wanted to hear more about your fitness regiment!
Come on, sir. I hope it was an honest mistake, but I would hope you know the difference between a step and a flight of stairs? There was a difference of 43 steps or a little over 4 flights. You stated a difference of 67 FLIGHTS of stairs? Huh? There is a gigantic difference between the designations, and just the math difference as well. I get that you are disappointed in the Versa’s tracking ability in workouts and I can appreciate that. I am looking for a new smartwatch/tracker and I know that my Charge 2 actually counts far under my pulse rate and above my steps at times, but please make sure you are giving an honest accounting of the discrepancies. I am assuming the best of intentions, but just surprised at such a glaring error is all.
Is there a way to keep your steps ALWAYS on display on my Fitbit? Thx in advance.
i think i burned a few calories watching him alternate that dumbbell back and forth
Maybe you need a proven baseline. In general, these devices I believe give us a general reference. Stick with one device and learn how your body responds to its data. Could spend $1000 on a Garmin but still a watch device and could have anomalies due to its fit or programming.
I thought fitbit is a lie. You just confirmed that. Saved me a dollar!
..that is why I prefer polar watches over fitbit. Polar rewards you based on your heart rate not steps. It is more nebulous though as you click on the dial to see how much you have to do for the day and it will say something like 20mins aerobic, 1hr 30 housework, or 5hrs standing. You know more easily if you have reached 10,000 steps or not but I still prefer Polar.
I got fed up with fitbit as i would go down the gymn for a workout, rowing machine, bike, cross trainer and ofcourse i didnt get hardly any steps for that, friends who only did walking ended up at the top of the chart for their amount of steps! I did not feel rewarded for my workout.
Ive had the fitbit surge, the polar M600 (only one based on wear’s operating system not polar so it is a full smart watch). Struggled with M600 as sometimes it would freeze. I would be 10 minutes in to my workout and know that the heart rate display was wrong. I would have to reboot the watch!!:-) I wasnt really using the rest of the smart watch funtionality, if anything it would irritate me.
Recently my M600 died, I got a ‘blue screen of death’:-) a black boot up screen that didnt respond to any of the prompts and it has been sent off for repair. (Its only 2years and 2 months old warranty is 2 years!!)
So I have just splashed out on their polar ignite (£170),,based on the polar operating system, which should work much better, arrives tomorrow. Its mid range but with loads of features. They now have conintuous heart rate tracking, its waterproof and tracks swimming and many other activities, has GPS. Only down side with this one is that it is a high res screen and so is not continually on (you can set that but only in excercise mode), it comes on when you turn your wrist or press the button.
Polar vantage M has all of the features and more with an always on display, costs another £100 but no touch screen. Their touch screen version Polar vantage V with ‘always on’ display costs another £100.
I’ve been using Fitbit products since day one with the clip onsss….I’ve had every Charge model then I got the Versa 2 for Christmas and I’m super sad. The steps are inaccurate. I never ever had a problem with my Charge. I am a huge Apple person also but sorry I hate the Apple Watch. There are cons to it as well. I think I’m going to sell my Fitbit Versa 2 on eBay and go back to Charge 2.
Hi Michael. Just having breakfast with your video. It is 9 a.m. in Nottingham and currently 11 C. We expect a high today of 16 C. This is cool for August which should be the height of our summer. It’s a bank holiday weekend which usually means rain! I have often wondered about walking or running on treadmills. I used to do it when I was really heavy. It got me back into walking but OMG, when I started pounding pavements that seemed much harder. I guess on a treadmill you aren’t really moving your bulk, the ground is moving for you which propels you on. I never believed the ridiculous amount of calories that the treadmill claimed to burn. We packed our Fitbits away several months ago as we were obsessed with step numbers. Now we just live an active life and eat a healthy diet. No one can out exercise a poor plate. Have a good day. Keep warm! Jane x
Did you eat 4 Big Mac meals or just eat 1 and change your shirt 3 times? LoL
Thank you so much
Very helpful
Also only one that isn’t a 9 year old kid
I just want to know how to turnoff fitbit 2 to install protector screen
I hope you used chest built with the two watches because it will showes the accurate calories and then compare it with the two watches then we will know because the chest monitor is 94% accurate than watches
I think the same. Fitbit made me fatter when i was not supposed to gain weight by calculations
My versa counts a heart rate without it even on my wrist! I am returning it! What a joke!!!
Isn’t this what the apple watch already tracks? As well as everything else
I spent a day at Walt Disney Worldand left my Fitbit at home!! I was so bummed considering how many hours and steps that is. But my friend, a fellow Fitbitter as you called us, tracked our steps and calories. This was super helpful for the few times I’ve forgotten my Fitbit at home on the charger! Thank you.
Did he say whether or not he programmed the Fitbit? Big difference in mine once I tailored it to my body and so far it’s been closely accurate to my weight loss.
Some poor guy overturned in his boat HAHA thanks for this!
Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure this out for days!!!
I think the title is a bit too bold, but you do give a fair discussion, I believe. I have no idea if the algorithm keeps getting updated but I don’t think the calorie burn is far off with exercise, but there are some funny quirks with step-counts and calorie burn at rest. One way to counter what you mention is to set your diet plan to a stricter level on Fitbit you may have it at maintain or reduce weight at a slow rate, but you can set the diet mode to a stricter regime so you consume less calories per day than you otherwise might
Both are good options to keep you motivated. The big difference is price, sleep tracking, and battery life.
Wow wish I could work out like you thank you for the in-depth review
The one little ‘step’ in this process that everyone else seems to forget to tell you is that in order to add STEPS, you need to change ‘Miles’ in the Distance entry to ‘Steps’ by clicking on the drop-down menu! Nice job making it clear!
