My Charge 3 has been working fine with Weight Watchers for months. Yesterday (9/18/2020) for some reason it stopped at exactly 12:03 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) After that, all I would get from Weight Watchers is "last sync at 12:03 pm." I have uninstalled and reinstalled the charge 3 from Fitbit. Uninstalled and reinstalled Fitbit app. Tried through both Weight Watchers website and their app. I have revoked Weight Watchers from Fitbit and disconnected Fitbit from Weight Watchers and then reconnected them. I even called Weight Watchers Technical support and they couldn't help me. They said I already did all the suggestions they could muster. Why is this happening and why can't I get this fixed? It's very frustrating.

Okay guys. I finally fixed this on my own. Don't ask me why. I can't tell you if Weight Watchers was the problem or FitBit. I went and signed up for MyFitnessPal (because it's free) and saw if I could synch with Fitbit. It did beautifully. Went to FitBit website and saw that it was in my list of apps that had permission to access Fitbit. Then I went back to Weight Watchers and disconnected again from Fitbit. (I did this 100 times yesterday and it didn't work) Then I tried to connect to something else, (Garmin I think) I don't have Garmin but that wasn't the point. While the website was still open asking me to log into Garmin, I went back to the Weight Watchers and clicked the same for Fitbit. MIRACLE the permission box opened up asking me to log into Fitbit. I did so and it all started syncing again! It's FIXED. I have no idea why the problem started or why it's fixed. Just that it is! (WHEW!)
