If you come across this problem, please give the watch a restartWe suggest charging the watch to a full battery and monitoring the HR behavior afterward. 

 

Just to make sure we have all the bases covered, double-check that you have Heart Rate turned "On" under the Settings app.

@307HH, please note that if you tap on each tile, like Sleep, you will have the option to manually add a log by tapping on the plus sign on the top right corner. If you need to add an activity, you can also add it manually.

Do a restart and do it several times if necessary and make sure of the watch placement on the wrist.

Thank you very much! I've managed to get the heart rate back on on my Versa after I restarted the device. But now I'm faced with another problem-I'm not receiving text&call, calendar notifications from my Galaxy S8+ even though they are synced, the Bluetooth is ON, All Notifications-ON. Can you please guide me how to trouble shoot? Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response. Cleaned the back where touches skin and it’s working again. I work in healthcare and wash hands often and apply lotion...maybe it lost contact that way.

Hi,

So all day today my Fitbit versa's heart rate monitor has not been tracking my HR and the green light sensors are not flashing. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps like restarting the watch and checking the heart rate settings but nothing is working. What should I do? I noticed a lot of people are having problems with the HR monitor.

Thanks

Best Answer

Mine stopped tracking sleep stages since 13 Feb, only shows sleep patterns. I simply wear the device to sleep with proper fitting and fully charged.

 

My versa also stop green flash light to detect my HR since 13 Feb as well. I've tried including shot down and restart, three bottom reboot, and factory reset; nothing worked!
 
I found that Fitbit released an update this morning. After updated the app and restarted my versa, the heart rate tracker worked few minutes but went down again!Smiley Sad
