How to End an Exercise on Charge 3?

[SunsetRunner]

Ok first workout and I can't end it, pressing the button only pauses it.  Holding it only brings up a notification and screen wake-up menu?

Thank you for your assistance.  I finally figured out that the "button" is actually pushing on the sides of the face of my Fitbit Charge.  I kept looking for a "button" on the screen to push.  Once I figured out what the word button meant, then I followed your directions and was able to do this easily.  I especially liked the advice about how long to hold it, etc.

I’m only just beginning. These are interesting comments.

I cannot do anting from the device.  If I can’t do it from the app it cannot be done.  Cannot start and stop an exercise on the device.  All I can do on the device is scroll through what is there already.  Heart rate , calories burned , steps walked all day , steps per hour.  I can tap the nail I’m blue and there is nothing else to see.

suffices to say that here in 2020 i have the same issues.

i went for a bikeride today. now usually it does pick this up automatically but NOT the gps? Why is that?

I like all others started my workout manually.

in trying to end i was offered the pause button. then the wake/ notifications screen. could go nowhere. lots of faffing.

but why was it still recording mileage even tho i was stationary.

i have the say the jury is out for me on this product. Sleep it records. Steps it automatically records.

i wish it had a function to input blood sugar 

this i can tell is the future. but i would suggest isnt the finished product. long way still to go 

like ending an excercise.

further, can this not also be done from.the app?

I know the is what is SUPPOSED to happen, but like the other post when you press to stop all I get is pause. When I hold down the button I get to the wallet screen that wants my pin. I spend 5 minutes randomly pressing, holding, swiping until eventually (and I can't tell how I did it) it words and I can finally end my exercise. It is soooooooooooooo annoying! What can I do about this?

Doesn't work.  The button just shows the stats and the clock keeps running.

Hmmm.  The second push just brings up DND and SLEEP.  Still flummoxed

Shouldn’t have to do this. Who wants to have to find and access their charger to end a workout. I sure as heck don’t take my charger to the trail or the gym.
