My Blaze display screen continues flashing? Not sure what caused this, but trying to return it to normal viewing.

First thing to try when a fitbit misbehaves is a restart using the following procedure:

 

  1. Press and hold the back (left) and bottom buttons until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen. This should take less than 10 seconds.
  2. Let go of the buttons.
  3. If your Fitbit Blaze, Fitbit Ionic, or Fitbit Versa doesn't work normally, use the instructions in How do I turn off my Fitbit device? to turn your watch off and on again.

It does no harm and can sort out all sorts of issues. You might need to give it a few tries though as it's known to not always work.

@Ivorarc try turning it off / on instead:

 

  1. Swipe right to left on the home screen to the Settings screen. 
  2. Tap Settings and scroll down to Shutdown.
  3. Tap Shutdown and confirm.
  4. To turn your Blaze back on, press any button.
  5. Sync your tracker as soon as you turn it back on. If you don't, the time may be incorrect.
