The buttons don't work. The swipe function works but the displays are way off. Not centered. Suggestions?

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for getting back! You're totally right, when you're having issues with the buttons of your Surge there is too little what you can do to get it to work. Some users let the batter drain out completely instead of a restart but I'm not sure if this will help.
I suggest to wait for the follow up email, since out Support Team can help with some other details.
Please keep me posted on the resolution!

My options button on the left side doesn't work. I received as a replacement for falling apart strap.It was difficult to press when it arrived, but after two weeks it had completely stopped working. If I let the battery run out I'll never get it running again.

My Fitbit does not scroll any way, I called customer support and after shutting it up ( pressing the left side bottom at the same time as the right side bottom) it never worked. There is no place to send it since Fitbit can't fixit it; and I have been using it for three years no warranty for it. So they offered me a 25% discount on a new Fitbit but only certain models not including the New model. So long my dear Fitbit users, hope you won't make the same mistake I did of buying a product that has no more than three years lifespan. Anybody can suggest a good product?

While it may appear the buttons are not working try a reset by holding the left button and right bottom button together. I was in a similar boat and was sure buttons were not working. While the book says the screen fades after 10-15 seconds I found it took about 30 seconds.
Once the screen has faded wait 20 seconds and press the left button. The Fitbit arrows should then appear on the screen.
Hope this works for you as well

TryingTwo, that solution to hold in the left and bottom right buttons works great if the buttons work. If you look at the title of this thread, it's about buttons not working. On mine, the main (left) button would not work at all, so holding it in 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 seconds didn't matter because the button would not work. I eventually got a replacement, and with buttons that work, you can indeed reboot your fitbit.

Hi @YojanaFitbit I have reached out twice to fit bit customer service about issues with the battery on my watch and all i have ever got as feedback is "reset your watch"
this has been an ongoing problem as the battery doesn't last more than 10 hours NEVER! i cant wear this watch except to workout unless i wanna be wearing a watch that is completely dead. can you please help me get this thing returned/refund? i am so unhappy and disappointed with this product I've probably used it for a combined total of 90 days if that because it is so bad
