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.

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.
