syncing has been a huge problem.  also app shows I have a message or something that needs viewing searches the whole app nothing.  called support no help but sees the issue offered to send me a refurbished charge 3 or I can purchase a new one. lol mind you I purchased this one in May.  yes I told them if I hadn't been working so hard to get this one to work I would have been well within my 45 day window

@rbwd007 It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community!

Let me help you with your Charge 3 syncing issues and thank you for following Support instructions. You can try the following:

  • Go to your phone's bluetooth settings and remove all devices listed there.
  • Restart your phone and restart your device. 
  • Also, if you are using an Android device, check that your app has the necessary permissions (settings > apps > Fitbit > permissions) and make sure bluetooth and location services (GPS) are on. 
  • You can find additional suggestions here.

Let me know how it goes.
