How to Factory Reset a Fitbit Charge 2

Doing a factory reset of your Fitbit Charge 2 deletes all previously stored data, as well as any data that hasn’t yet synced to your Fitbit account. This can be handy if you want to sell or give away your Charge 2 and don’t want any traces of your data hanging around. Unlike other Fitbit models, such as the Charge HR or Charge 3, the Charge 2 has no hardware button you can press to reset the device. Here’s how to do it.

How to Add a Tracker Back to Your Fitbit Account

If you want to add your Charge 2 (or any Fitbit device) back to your account, all you need to do is sync the device to your Fitbit account using the Fitbit Connect app for Mac or Windows, or choose the Set Up a Device option in the Fitbit mobile app. Once the device has been paired to your account again, you should find that your saved tracking data and activity history is still available for you to view in your account dashboard or mobile app.
