Fitbit Charge 3: Reset - here's how to do it

If your Fitbit Charge 3 has been hanging up or you're having recurring problems with the device, it may be a good idea to perform a reset. Even if you want to sell your Fitbit, you should perform a reset so that your personal settings are erased.

How to reset the Fitbit Charge 3 to factory settings

To reset the fitness tracker, follow these steps:

1. Start your Fitbit Charge 3 and swipe left on the screen several times. Do this until the "Settings" button opens up.
2. Tap on it and scroll through the menu items until you get to the "About" item.
3. Click on it so that all the options are displayed to you and press "Clear User Data".
4. Once you confirm the process, the Fitbit Charge 3 will perform the reset on its own and you just need to wait for a few minutes.
5. How long the reset takes depends on how much data you have stored and which settings you have individualized.

How to check the success of the reset

If you want to sell or pass on your Fitbit Charge 3, you should make sure that all data has been removed. You can check this by going to the account on your smartphone or PC. If you can't find any entry about the device here anymore, all stored data has been removed.
