I bought a brand new Ionic last week to replace my charge 2. The heart rate is not registrering at all. I have tried the following things
* Cleaning the sensors
* turning the heart rate off in settings turning the monitor off and on and then turning the heart rate monitor back on.
* I have worn it on both arms at different levels.
* have worn it at different levels of tightness.
The sensor is working but no heart rate is being registered. I have seen this on a number of posts as an issue.

Try restarting the Ionic by pressing and holding the left button and bottom right button together for 15 secs, let go of the buttons when you see the fitbit logo.

Ok no problem.
The next thing I would try would be a full factory reset. As you mention the lights are flashing, it sounds more like a software issue as opposed to a hardware one. Although if the full factory reset doesn't solve the issue it will then be best to contact Fitbit support.

Thanks Nathan. Trying that now but it won't even pair with my phone. I will keep trying and contact support if it fails.

If you haven't already done so you may need to go into the fitbit app and remove the Ionic from your account, also go into your phones Bluetooth settings and unpair the Ionic. Hopefully it should pair with your phone after that.

Did you get an answer on the no heart rate? Would love to know because mine has stopped registering.....

None of the suggestions worked. None of the data collected by the sensors is displayed on watch after most recent FW upgrade, to v.27.32.10.20. I checked app on phone and all data is being collected correctly. Turned out problem is the clock face, created by a 3rd party developer as their application updates lag behind FW releases. Problem solved by selecting a "Fitbit" clock face.

Further to my own issue. I received brilliant online support from Fitbit and through a process of testing and elimination, I am getting my Fitbit replaced under warranty. Whilst I was frustrated, there was no angst because s**t happens and it's noboby's fault.
Huge thanks to the support team !!!!!! Everyone is quick to complain but not pat on the back.....

Fitbit support is a farce. I have tried to reach them with Chat and they keep login off. I also have no heart rate and band is deteriorating. I get no help at all. EdStJames1
