The red and green lights at the back of my Fitbit versa 3 keeps on flickering even though I am not wearing it. Can anyone say why it keeps on blinking?

Hi there, @Perf_imperf. Welcome to the Community Forums. 

Sometime the Versa 3 can't detect you have taken it off, and it sees what it thinks is your pulse. Note that if you remove your watch but it keeps moving, for example if you put it in a pocket, backpack, purse, or even on a nigh stand table, the Versa 3 may display an erroneous heart rate reading due to the vibrations. In addition, keep in mind that there are some factors that can affect the heart rate readings such as movement, temperature, humidity, stress level, physical body position, caffeine intake, and medication to mention a few.
