How to Factory Reset Fitbit Charge 3

Fitbit is widely renowned as one of the best fitness trackers and wearables in the global market. The company offers a wide range of products and Fitbit Charge 3 is one of them. Charge 3 announced by Fitbit back in October last year is an advanced health and fitness tracker that monitors your activity, heart rate, exercise, sleep, and whatnot. Think of a scenario where your Charge 3 isn’t working as expected, thus messing with your all-day activity tracking. For instance, the device is having issues with pairing, syncing, showing a blank screen, or can’t be detected by the computer over Bluetooth. In such a case, the best option is to factory reset your Charge 3.
