Hi there @Br2dive. Welcome to the Fitbit Family! 😄
In order to have your Charge 2 to restart, follow these instructions:
- Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or any UL-certified USB wall charger.
- Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of the tracker. The pins on the charging cable must lock securely with the port.
- Make sure the button on your tracker is aligned with the button opening on the charging cable. You’ll know the connection is secure when the tracker vibrates and you see a battery icon on your tracker’s display. Your Charge 2 will begin charging.
- Press and hold the button on your tracker for four seconds. When you see the Fitbit logo and the tracker vibrates, this means the tracker has restarted.
- Unplug your tracker from the charging cable.
Let me know if you need anything else!

Oh, I see @Br2dive... Since you posted in the Flex board I assumed you were using a Fitbit Flex but I'm glad to hear you got your tracker to restart.
Anything else you may need, let me know!
I'll be moving your post to the Charge 2 board for categorization purposes.

@pgenevrino you haven't mentioned the problem, but a restart is exactly that. It restarts the tracker, it does not change any data displayed.

I have a charge 2 and I can not get it to restart using this method at all. What else can I do?

My charge 2 gives me too many active minutes and does not go back to 0, at the start of the day or after i have restarted it twice. talked to service and he said to call back if it did not work. any other ideas?
