Turning off FitBit Sense Watch

[iHealthWatch]

Hi,

Is there a way to turn on and off the FitBit Sense or to reboot the watch?

With most devices, including the Apple Watch, you can turn it on and off. 

Also, are there any background apps to close on a FitBit Sense?  On the Apple Watch, there are background apps that you can close.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

I noticed when I take my FitBit Sense watch off, there are lazer/lights that emit light. 

This is another reason why I asked in a previous post if there is a way to turn off the FitBit Sense.

As a temporary fix, I cover the back of the FitBit Sense with the charger to stop the lazer lights from running down my battery.

Does it matter? 

Will the lazer lights run down the FitBit Sense battery?

What has been your experience with this?

Thank you.

Note:  I posted two separate posts and the second post appeared as a "reply" and right now, even though I am logged into my account, I do not have access to edit or to delete my own posts".   Very strange.  I should have created one post instead of two separate posts.

@iHealthWatch - It is possible to both turn the Sense off and to re-start the watch. As for background apps, I would have to know specifically which apps you are questioning. There is no “one size fits all” answer.

To turn the Sense off:

• Open the Settings app on the watch. > Shutdown > Confirm the shutdown
• To power it back on, press and hold the button until you feel the Sense vibrate.

To restart (reboot) the Sense:  

• Press and hold the button until the device vibrates

HI @iHealthWatch - there are no background apps on a Sense / Versa / Ionic watch - it displays either a Clock face or an App.
