Hopefully my picture shows....but on my new Fitbit charge 3 there is a dark line. Could it be a pixel problem? I have tried restarting it and it jashas helped. Any advice?

I contacted customer support about my issue and found out that since my Charge 3 is 5 weeks past the 12-month warranty, the best they can offer is a 25% discount on a new tracker - which makes the Charge 3 actually still more expensive than the sale they are running right now. 

I’m switching to a Garmin.

I have switched to polar! Good luck

I got the same information from Fitbit. I am starting to look elsewhere. Sad customer service is lacking on an issue so many people are having. I have been a loyal Fitbit user. Time to find another tracker. Good luck!

 I really hate that I have this issue with my Fitbit. I have loved it and even bought three more for family members for Christmas. But, as you can see, my screen is almost unreadable. It was fine the end of Nov when the warranty expired and then the lines started appearing.

I am having the same issue 😞 I have tried resetting my Fitbit and changing the clock faces as per Andrea’s recommendations but no luck. This is my second issue with my Fitbit 😔 hopefully can have this resolved.

My charge3 is doing something similar

Mine has the same kind of lines but mine are all near the top. And in the last few days has gotten worse.

My issue has been resolved. Mine still fell under my 1 yr warranty so they sent me a replacement. Thanks for such great customer service!

Having the exact same issue. Have tried factory reset, have tried long restart, still have an increasing amount of black lines across the screen. 
Purchased on 6/7/2019. 

[tcolejim]

I'm now experiencing the same issues. I first had one line and now I have 3 at the top so I can't read the date. I tried to reset from the device, reset plugged in, and changing the clock face. I purchased this device a few months ago from Best buy. Any advice would be of help.

[LizzyFitbit]

[tcolejim]

Thank Lizzy. I appreciate the help.

My watch shows small horizontal lines across the screen,

tried resetting multiple times, doesn’t work. Can someone please tell me what else to do. how to get in contact with customer service ?

[thegreenheron]

I have the same issue. Went thru the reset steps and nothing has helped. Mine is five months old, and I actually keep a screen protector over it to keep it nice and avoid scratches. I sent a DM thru Twitter to Fitbit Support since I kept getting an error when trying to access help thru the app. If that’s not the best way, I’d appreciate someone setting up a support ticket.
