Since Sunday I've been experiencing a ton of issues with my charge 3:
- On Sunday the screen on my charge 3 froze randomly so I decided to charge it to see if it would help - it did and it started charging fine. It charged to about 80% so I took it off the charger and after about half an hour it stopped working completely. None of the buttons worked and charging it didn't do anything. I tried to restart it by holding down the side button but it didn't do anything no matter how long I held the button down for. I left it for about 24 hours and then attempted to charge it again:
- (Monday) I plugged it in and it vibrated, and when I pressed the side button the watch vibrated too but the screen was still black. However if I swiped on the watch and clicked randomly it would vibrate every now and then, so it seemed as though the watch was still working and interactive but the screen just wasn't turning on. Once again I tried reseting it by holding down the side button but the screen still didn't turn on.
- I left it until today (Tuesday), when I realised my watch had died and the side button didn't vibrate when pressed so I plugged it into the charger and suddenly the screen came on, however it said the watch was on 1% so I decided to leave it in the charger. However, even after half an hour it was still on 1%. I attempted to restart it by holding down the side button until the screen went black and a smiley face appeared but it didn't help and it was still stuck on 1%. I cleaned the charger and the back of my watch but nothing, I tried to charge it from my laptop and then from another wall socket and still nothing until it randomly jumped to 100%. I thought maybe it was charging all along but the percentage number was stuck on 1 for some reason, however after wearing the watch for literally about 30 seconds it died so I plugged it back in only for the exact same thing to happen - jumped to 100% but died seconds later. This cycle of jumping to 100% and dying has now been going on for about 3 hours.
I really don't know what to do about this, it feels like I've tried every solution but nothing works. I've never had any issues with my Fitbit (I've had it for about 2 years and 8 months) so I don't know why it has randomly stopped working.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
