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 🙄
Any news on how to fix this issue?
Best AnswerAdd me to the list. Fails calibration after the update. Frustrated.

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?
