Hello @MAWK-
Sorry to see you're having issues with your new Charge 6.
Sometimes, it can take more than 1 restart try to get the device "unstuck". If your Charge 6 isn't counting your steps after a couple more tries and you're still within the return window, then you should return it to where you got it for either a replacement or a refund.
If you're outside of the return window, contact Fitbit support (<-- click link) to find out what are your options under warranty.
