I started using versa on Jan 28,2022. The first week I used it for almost 6 days on 1 full charge and I was amazed. The major reason for opting fitbit over apple was battery life, as I use my watches generally a lot and this was the first time using a smartwatch and the idea of not being able to use it because of the low battery was frustrating.
From the 2nd week, I wanted to try the premium features and I started using it- without always on display and GPS. And I started charging when its around 20-25% and until it reached 95+ %, used to last a good 4 days easily this way as well. I was using the watch 24x7 except while in shower.
However since last few recharge cycles, I am noticing a drastic drop in the battery life. I decided to make a note and check few cycles before posting this. I have been facing this problem since March 2, it has never lasted more than 2 days and it is quite annoying. I am using just the same features, apps and whatever since day 1. Is this normal? Has anyone else faces same issue? Is this a faulty watch that was sold or is it expected level of performance for Fitbit? Should I or can I get it replaced? If this is how it performs in 1 month, don't know what to look forward to.
Thanks

The same thing happened to me, but started a bit later - early April. I think it aligned with a Fitbit firmware update, but I also fiddled with the Google Assistant setting around the same time so I'm backing out of that change to see if I can rule that out. I'm currently getting about 1 day of charge. Before the problem, the Fitbit could go several days on a single charge.
