I had issues with my last Ionic and took it back to Best Buy. This is a brand new one, just purchased 9/24/18. It won’t track steps/HR and I have to push a button to turn face on. All setting have been checked to reflect what I’m asking it to do, and I have turned on and off multiple times. Also tried switching faces. Please help!

@TravisBrown Welcome to the Fitbit family! Thanks for taking the time to share the experience you have had with Ionic on this board. I'm glad that Best Buy replaced your previous unit. It is strange that is is not tracking your steps nor heart rate; thanks for trying changing the faces, checking the settings, and turning it on and off in order to sort this out.
In this case, I'd recommend performing a restart on your Ionic. This should certainly help it out to start recording data. If after doing that it is still not working, please perform a factory reset on your Ionic (tap your Settings app on the watch > About > Factory Reset). Note that this option will erase all apps and music you have previously installed/downloaded to your watch.
Regarding Quick View, please tap and hold the left button to access the device's settings. You will find the "Screen Wake" option there. Feel free to select it to be automatic.
Try this out and let me know how it goes! ![]()

Thanks for getting back and for the details provided @TravisBrown. While reading your post, I was wondering if the clock face you're using are from a Third-Party App? If so, would you mind trying to switch to a Fitbit clock face?
When you try to access to settings for the factory reset, what do you get? Is the display frozen?
Looking forward to your response!
