Apparently Fitbit doesn't have support in the US. Amazon Versa has way too many bad review in June 2018. Also there are comments about the poor customer support. Please reassure us Fitbit is an ok company to purchase a product from. I purchased a Versa then read the reviews and cancelled the order. I had a Charge 2 that worked well. The Versa definitely does not perform well from the reviews.

Got my Versa as a Mother's Day gift from the kids. Worked fine for about 3 weeks, then had to charge it every 3 days, finally it wouldn't turn on. Tech support had me go through all the steps to no avail, had to return it, waiting patiently for the replacement.

I've had my Versa for a few months now and I LOVE it, its on my wrist 24/7 I use all the features on it and I get a good 3.5 days out of it. Now I just charge it when I'm in the shower and I don't have an issue at all. Its my favourite Fitbit so far

I am waiting for a replacement too.... I heard it can take a LONG time! Want to get an Apple Watch now. But it seems like I should wait to Sept for the Series 4 to come out. Very upset. Now I have nothing!

I am now on my 4th Versa. The first one worked the longest. This one, the shortest. Will eventually not hold.a charge and won't charge period. End of story. Loved the Versa when it worked but clearly it won't and Fitbit doesn't care. So sad I gave my Charge2 to my son...it.worked for years and not days! Hope I get my money back and maybe Garmin will work better.

Don’t buy fitbit never mind the Versa. I have a Fitbit Versa. I’ve cracked the screen and it turns out they don’t do repairs or anything my only option is to buy a new one!
Not really a solution that fitbit don’t sell screens or do repairs on any of their products (not just the Versa) so is it really worth paying the price when if you break your Fitbit you have to buy a new one each time instead of getting a repair!

Here's an update to to my previous post. Received my replacement towards the end of August and for the past week have had to charge it every other day. Turned off all day sync, did not change the clock face and not using if for music. I make sure I leave it on the charger for a little longer than the suggested two hours to no avail. My Flex 2 worked well; received the Versa as a Mother's Day present this year. Not sure I will continue to be a Fitbit customer.

I had a Fitbit Charge 2 and upgraded to a Versa a few months ago. Although I like what Fitbit and the Versa offer, my biggest complaint is the SYNCING!!!!! It NEVER syncs properly. And by properly, I mean I have to fiddle with different things on my phone just to figure out what's going to work THIS time. For instance, turn on/off the bluetooth, exit and reopen the app, forcequit the app, restart phone, uninstall/reinstall app...reapeat all those in different order. Ugghhhh!! Although customer service is nice and they try to be helpful. They have no idea why the device doesn't sync either. This has been an ONGOING problem with Fitbit and for some reason they just can't get the darn thing corrected. You don't hear of this with Apple, Garmin... I have thought about giving my Versa away and starting over with something else SO many times!!! But I spent the $$ on this not too long ago and don't want to spend $$ on something new. But if this keeps up, I will.

I'm still waiting for a replacement too.. mine is worse because it's international replacement and it will probably take them 3 months to ship to me. By then there will be a lapse of 3 months in warranty. It's ridiculous.

Been having that issue since purchase last April.
The way I get around it is to go to the Bluetooth setting to check to see if it is connected. Then "re-boot" the Versa. Wait until the re-boot kicks in (the watch vibrates) then sync Bluetooth.
Works every time for me, but certainly a pain in the neck.

Sorry, did not ask if you are trying to sync with a phone or iPad.
If you are using a desktop computer instead of a smartphone then I do not have an answer.

Hello, so when I read all that you have experienced with Versa, you are really scared.
I had bought the Versa on Tuesday and in the evening, started the problems, the update`s did not go through clean, until I saw a big red cross on the display and told me the app that the update failed.
When the clock was running, the problems started, the pulse measurement a few seconds several times a day.
So factory reset done, again updates, update failed, but clock was running. Pulse measurement again failed a few times a day, multiple calls with support on two days and tried everything, made two factory defaults, repeatedly uninstalled app and reinstalled, then again failed pulse measurement on the device for a few seconds (so you can see on the display 2 -- not more), so again called support, I really could not help, because all help failed. Again factory defaults and app reinstalled.
Tonight then, the absolute disaster. Pulse measurement a lot at once for 3 minutes, then in the resting phase I had allegedly a pulse of 200, then again pulse measurement misfire, then pulse of 180, then again a misfire, then pulse of 150, then again pulse measurement misfire, then only around 120, which did not change then. Called the support again, but they could not help me and also do not explain where that comes from.
What did I do then?
I put the clock back tonight, then got a new Versa, somewhat afraid that the problems will reappear.
Updates went well and fast, but ....
And now comes the BUT ....
the pulse measurement is also on the new Versa. And several times!
And I have a suspicion!
The new firmware is causing big problems!
or the hardware is really broken.
The other suspicion is that the quality of the hardware and the software is extremely bad, well, maybe Made in China, no wonder.
But Fitbit does not seem to be interested in all that. Support does not know its own part about the devices, it was terrifying that two employees did not know what the oxygen measurement is, which we have been promised for 2 years. And that should be the support?
One would think Fitbit does not care what's going on with the devices, the main thing is the customer has 200 EUR. or Dollars paid and that's the case for Fitbit done!
And I still suspect that extremely many broken Fitbit devices are in circulation worldwide.
I did not have all these problems with Charge 3. This is the 3 Versa that I will exchange, very, very bad and will get the Charge 3 again, because it ran very well with me and without any problems!
Terrifying what Fitbit is doing with its customers. And even more frightening is that Fitbit on the complaints on Amazon and co. does not respond and ignore them, but strangely enough, respond only to positive reviews.

I'm on my replacement Versa. . and have to recharge it every other day. Figured it's not worth the time to return it again. . Will just wait for it to die completely and will go back to Flex2 which is the only other one I can use in the pool.

I had to send my first one back after two months of use. Waited another month or so for a replacement which I'm sure was refurbished or the same one I returned because it still doesn't hold a charge, have to charge it every other day.

I just got my Versa today. I'm a fairly technical guy and I can't believe how much of a pain in the butt it was to get it setup and working. I kept getting some sort of firmware update loop, I ended up having to continuously reset the versa using the hardware buttons so I could prevent the app from trying to sync and loop into the firmware update. Once I delete the versa from my app and repaired it I was able to get it working.
Im hoping that's where my troubles with this smartwatch ended. I guess I'll find out over the next few weeks. I'm coming from the Blaze which I never had any issues with.

The versa would be awesome if it worked. Absolutely will not hook up to WiFi. I have tried everything that has been suggested online. I don’t have anymore time to waste. It’s going back to the store.

Disappointed with my Versa, from not a good start! The first one I bought didn’t work at all so after protracted ‘chats’ I was sent a new one. It worked well for 12-18mths but now it no longer monitors my Heart Rate and only a basic sleep pattern. Seriously thinking of giving up with it altogether!

Are you on commission by fitbit or do you work for them? 😂
