Have you tried restarting your device?

 

To restart you will need to place your Charge 3 into its charger and confirm that its charging. Then press and hold the button on your tracker for 8 seconds. When you see a smile icon and the tracker vibrates, the tracker restarted.

 

Give that a go and see if the vibration is restored.

Hi, I looked at your solution and tried r out. The vibrator is definitely not working. I purchased this item for the day it was released and have been happy up until now. What can you do to help? I purchased the item on Amazon.

I bought it as soon as it was released. And about a week after it stopped. I tried everything in the end I contacted Fitbit and returned it for a new one.   And now... no trouble x

Scrolling through the menu on the watch itself, I stumbled on Settings -> Vibrations. Set it to Strong and that seems to fix the problem

Hi 

This did not do it, still no vibrating on my charge 3 🙁

How can you help? 

Best Answer

@Sylliev Welcome to our Fitbit Community! Since your Charge 3 is still unable to vibrate after following the restart process, I'll send your case to our Support team so they can investigate further and provide a solution. You will receive an email from them soon.

 

Let me know if you have any doubts! Smiley Happy
