Fitbit Charge 6 and 5 restart
First you wiped on the clock display from top to bottom so that you can get to the settings. Now you tap on the settings symbol and then on “Restart the device” and “restart”.
If this does not work, you can also do the restart outside the device. If the device does not react, connect it to the charging cable. Now act three times the button at the flat end of the charger, each leaving you one second.
In the end, the charging cable has an action button, which you can also trigger a restart. (Source: Google)
