If you are having issues with your Fitbit Blaze, the easiest way to get the tracker working properly again is a simple restart. 

Whether you're having trouble syncing your device with a phone or computer, or your Fitbit Blaze isn't responding quickly, a restart can refresh the device and should alleviate most common problems.

Unlike some Fitbit trackers, the Fitbit Blaze cannot be reverted to its factory settings, but deleting the device from your Fitbit account and erasing any messages associated with the device should wipe your data clean.

To restart and reset a Fitbit Blaze, follow these simple steps.
