This was driving me nuts.  Finally found this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2IfEZ7ogb8

 

 

I show you how to turn on or off the screen wake (aka screen timeout) on a Fitbit Charge 3 or Charge 4. When its on all you have to do is flip your watch towards you and the screen will come on. Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker: https://amzn.to/2SEtJkl Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness and Activity

Pressing the side button worked. Just scroll up when you see a different display than the normal one and you should see screen wake. Somehow mine was turned off :s.

For me, tapping the screen awake didn't do anything, rather I had to hit the sleep setting above that and it turned on my awake.

thank you for this; but in the last couple of weeks I have had to use your technique more than once because the screen wake keeps shutting off?  I am not shutting it off so cannot figure out why this would happen.  I have only owned this Fitbit for 6 months, it shouldn't be having these troubles so soon.

 

Thank you again for your help in figuring out how to get my screen to show when I twist my wrist.  H

Nothing works....can someone PLEASE PLEASE tell me how to get my screen wakeup back. I have done all of your advice and I see screenwake-up but when you say "choose it" HOW do you choose it? It is sort of grey but does not appear to be off. How do you CHOOSE an option when you are scrolling through 20-30 screens? How do you tell your watch not to delete all settings when you do an upgrade? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ready to throw it in the river, and bummed because it worked great for a month where it would wake up when I moved my wrist and would do this fireworks thing when I hit my step goal, but now it does neither despite trying many different things to get these back.

tap the screen twice to get to the clock menu. Fitbit shows this in the tips quite frequently and it always works. Annoying though. I miss having it turn on when I turn my wrist.
