I notice they are quite different on a daily basis. I understand active calories to be calories above your BMR but don’t know what move calories represent.

    I think move calories is basically just calories burned from your daily movements, over and above just what it takes to be sedentary living. Then active calories is what’s burned during actual workouts, or maybe when HR is above a certain level.

    move calories: any calories registered on the move ring, even if not in a workout. like from walking around living your normal routine.

    active: calories from a workout where calorie burn was intentional and recorded

        From Apple about the Activity Rings:

        Check your progress

        Open the Activity app on your Apple Watch at any time to see how you’re doing. The Activity app displays three rings.

        • The red Move ring shows how many active calories you’ve burned.
        • The green Exercise ring shows how many minutes of brisk activity you’ve done.
        • The blue Stand ring shows how many times in the day you’ve stood and moved for at least one minute per hour.
