My Charge 3 has these lines across the display now and I have already tried a few things I read about in the forum: restarted, hard restart, new clock faces, but nothing has worked. I use it with a Samsung Galaxy S10. Is there anything else I can do?

@MarreFitbit - I am having the same issue and have done the same troubleshooting as posted above. I also use my fitbit app on the Galaxy s10 and have recently had trouble getting my fitbit to sync with my app. I've had to restart bluetooth, do the hard resets on my charge 3, unpair and re-pair my device, etc. just to get it to sync. I had this same problem just a few months back, and my watch was replaced, but it seems now that I'm having the exact same issues as before, in addition to the black horizontal lines on my screen. Any chance you can help?

I've had my Fitbit Charge 3 since late November 2019. Has horizontal lines on the screen. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps listed in this forum (changing clock faces, restarting, etc.) Still have the lines. I adore my Charge 3, please help!!

Hi, I have the same problem since awhile. Started with 1 line then 2..have 7 lines now and I purchased it in Jan 2020! Also tried all the tips. Updated app, uninstalled/reinstalled, restarted device 2 different ways, changed clock face etc.. I'm not happy at all and am experiencing other problems (no O2 results) too.

I had the exact same problem and worked with support but nothing fixed it. I’ve been offered 35% off to purchase a new device. That is unacceptable when the products are inferior. My tracker was barely a year old. This definitely doesn’t make me want to buy another.

@MarreFitbit hello. I have tried resetting my charge 3 multiple times as well as changing the clock face, but it still has horizontal lines that make the screen difficult to read. Can you please help?
