My Fitbit hasn't been reading my heart rate for some time now (approximately 2 months). I've been waiting patiently to see if an app update would fix the problem but so far nothing. I switch the HR monitor setting on and off and the light comes on but it won't read my heart rate and won't turn off unless I turn it off. In addition the watch refuses to calibrate. I'd to get rid of the watch, but as of right now there seems to be nothing I can do. Suggestions?

Hello @NPerk28, welcome to the Community Forums!

First, I'd like to appreciate your effort and patience troubleshooting this situation prior to posting. If you haven't already done so, I recommend you to check our help article: Why don't I see my heart rate on my Fitbit device? and let me know how it goes. Such information was really helpful for other users that were experiencing the same uncommon behavior.

Looking forward to your reply, let me know if you have any additional questions.
