Any tips?

Anyone have any tips for the button rarely working on the versa 3? My ionic had an actual button that worked everytime but the versas sensor button rarely works properly. I use my watch in low light all the time as a flashlight, has anyone found a flashlight app that stays on? I turn it on and if I aim the watch where I'm trying to see it turns off and renders the flashlight useless. My ionic before this always stayed on and was incredibly helpful in low light. The gps has never worked on this device, I can't figure out how to make it work without having Internet connected directly to my home WiFi. How am I supposed to track when I'm out nowhere near WiFi or Internet? I live where there isn't always a cellular signal and this makes the gps feature unusable. Perhaps this is a bit of a rant but would appreciate anyone who can tell me how to improve any of these problems, all of which I loved on the ionic but none work on the versa 3.

Hi @Dumbhuman - for the flashlight try SimpleClockPro clock face which has it built-in and stays on till turned off.

The GPS is only used during an Exercise and is set in the chosen exercise by swiping the screen up (there's a tiny arrow at the bottom when you select an exercise to configure it).

Also try restarting the watch if it is not behaving normally.

You will always need a mobile connection or WiFi on your phone (and phone location turned on) and it be nearby for syncing the watch with the Fitbit App, or for Clocks or Apps that need  Internet access, such as Weather.

The watch doesn't need a WiFi connection for normal operations.

By the way, that was the same problem! I rebooted 3 times and after that everything worked fine!
