Fibit didn't make it easy to turn most of their trackers off. And that makes sense, as a Fitbit can only do its job namely, tracking all your biometric data if it's actively running.

But should you want to turn off a Fitbit Charge HR , whether to save battery, to comply with security regulations, or because you simply don't want it tracking you for a while, you can force a Charge HR to power down.

Turning off a Fitbit Charge HR can also help fix it when the device begins to lag or has connectivity issues. If this is the case, you can also try giving it a quick restart.
