I bought my Fitbit Versa about three months ago, and one of the reasons was the battery life of three to four days, which convinced me to go for Fitbit rather than for a Apple Watch. For about two weeks, my battery does not last longer than a day. I tried all the recommendations - from cleaning the back of the watch to turning off notifications etc. but nothing really worked. And turning off all the functions beats the purpose of the smart watch anyway. Could you please advice on next steps?

Hi @MargaretGwen, do you have All Day Sync on your Versa?  That impacts battery life as well.

Hi, I don't have an answer to this message but - in case these forums are monitored or moderated - I have been having similar issues. For 6 months my Versa battery charge lasted 4-5 days; I havent changed any settings but now it lasts just over a day. I think this should be covered by warranty. Like many people, I chose the Versa (which is not cheap) over the Apple watch for battery life.

Yes, but I had that from the start... does it decrease battery after three
months of use?
