Hello again!

I was really frustrated with the versa 2 when I got it,it wouldn't work on my left wrist due to my tattoos it didn't give sleep results etc..so I tried a Samsung gear it was great but really bulky also it too wouldn't work with my tattoos

I started to miss the lightweight feel of the versa I have always been a big fan of Fitbit having a blaze and ionic before with no issues

I decided to do some research and see if I could"fix" my versa 2 issues

I got some plastic bumper stickers (I think in the US they're called epoxy stickers) I stuck one over the green LED on the back I also switched sleep settings to normal as I had it on sensitive put it on my left wrist....and hey presto! Working perfectly!

Heart rate working

Sleep score working..in fact everything working as should...all thanks to a little plastic sticker

Even got better battery life

I'm back in love with Fitbit and love having my versa 2 back

I hope in future that Fitbit will take people with tattoos in mind when developing hardware 

Anyhow I thought I'd share this "fix" I know a lot of users are experiencing the same issues as I had
