Calibration not working after update. Continues to fail calibration. I have it plugged in and laying flat. Ideas?

Best Answer

I'm having the same issue.

@Hammafer @max42, try to do a factory reset to the watch, that should do the trick.

Add me to the list of folks that seem to be encountering this issue.

Best Answer

Mine is doing the same thing! It keeps saying calibration failed ever since I did the update. Is there a fix? 

Best Answer

Exactly the same for me. Factory reset has not resolved the issue. 

Best Answer

This is the same for me, just done the update and it asked me to calibrate. I’ve tried it on every possible surface and it just won’t calibrate. Incredibly frustrating because now it probably won’t be as accurate when I go for a run tomorrow 🙄

Ionic, Charge 2 (retired), Charge HR (retired)

Same problem. I try every time it asks me to and fails every time. 

Best Answer

Add me to the list.  Fails calibration after the update. Frustrated.

Best Answer

Add me to this list, my ionic is also not calibrating after the OS update last night.  Done restart and everything. Very frustrating.

Best Answer

Mine worked fine with no issues last night, but my partner has also had this issue with her Ionic. The update installed fine but it refuses to calibrate after multiple tries on a flat level surface. Tried rebooting her Ionic too but this did not solve the issue. @MattFitbit any suggestions how to reslove this?
