How do I keep the clock as my main screen on the Fitbit Charge 3? Right now I cant get out of the stay awake/notifications screen. I try to swipe up/down, left/right and nothing happens.

If you use the button on the side it should go back to the watch face.

The charge 3 doesn't have a button on the side

Not a physical button, but touch. You’ll get haptic feedback when you press it! Try pressing both sides of the watch face st the same time.

It's great to welcome you @Srntymassage07 and @SunsetRunner thanks for the input.

 

I agree with our friend here, if you want to return to the main screen on your Charge 3, you need to press the home button. I am attaching an image of it.

I'm stuck in weather. The button on the side takes me back to screen wakw/notifications screen. Then back to weather. Ugh!

 

But it doesn't. Side button just toggles between weather and screen wake/notification button. Very frustrating.

Hey @Moose2002, great to see you here.

 

If your Charge 3 is stuck, I recommend restarting it by doing the following:

  1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or any UL-certified USB wall charger.
  2. 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.
  3. 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. 
  4. Press and hold the button to restart your tracker:
    • Press and hold the button on your tracker for 8 seconds. Release the button. When you see a smile icon and the tracker vibrates, the tracker restarted.
  5. Unplug your tracker from the charging cable.

 

Let me know the outcome. Man Happy

I am having the same problem, can't get back to the main screen. I've tried both methods of restarting and neither worked.

 Well thank you thank you! I have not been able to find that information anywhere and I think I’ve gone through all of the instructions on my iPhone and Fitbit homepage including settings etc. 

 They tell you how to turn screen off but not how to turn it on!

Had the same problem, stuck between two screens and can get Bach to home page/clock. Have restarted as above which seems to have worked but hope it’s not a recurring problem, what a pain.

Thank you! I found now that just tapping the left side rapidly 4 times gets me back most times.
Enjoy your day.

Mine does not return to home screen after using the stopwatch.

This does work to return it to the main screen, BUT if I am at the gym and use the stopwatch, shouldn't I be able to return it to the main screen by merely pressing the side of the Charge 3?  This does not work for me.  I have tried it more than once.

 

Thanks
