I went to begin my run today and when the run came up there was no display, you normally get a picture of a woman running. There was also no icon to start or stop the run. How do I reset to see if this is a one off?

Welcome on board @RebeccaMargetts, it's nice to see you around the forums! Hmmm... this is very strange my friend. I'd recommend restarting your tracker:

 

  1. Press and hold the back (left) and bottom buttons until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen. This should take less than 10 seconds.
  2. Let go of the buttons.
  3. If your Fitbit Ionic doesn't work normally, use the instructions in How do I turn off my Fitbit device? to turn your watch off and on again.

 

Restarting your device turns it off and on without deleting any activity data. If your device saves notifications, a restart deletes them.

 

Give this a go and let me know the outcome!

Hey there @Fadi214, thanks for jumping in here! Did you wait the 10 seconds until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen? If so, but your tracker didn't restart properly try turning your Ionic off and on: 

On your watch, open the Settings app > About > Shutdown > confirm the shutdown.

To turn your watch back on, press any button.

Let me know if this works!

Tried plenty of times to hold the back button and no go. However, After searching i held the back with bottom right and it rebooted. To my knowledge I’m on the latest OS. (not the latest release from yesterday)

Were you able to restart your Ionic @Fadi214? It's working again? Robot Very Happy

Are you talking the Ionic's OS? or your phone OS? 

Looking forward to your response!
