My versa 2 shows calories burned when I’m not even wearing it. Does not reset.

Hi @Hawaii2007  you can't reset it and it's perfectly normal. When you set up your Fitbit, you gave it information on your gender, weight and height. It uses that information to determine your base metabolism rate. Burned calories are the ones you use just breathing and moving. It doesn't matter if you wear the device or not, as it's set up and charged.

That is working as it should.  Those are your BMR calories, which Fitbit includes, the calories you are always burning just to stay alive, usually accounting for more than half of daily calorie burn.  These calories are credited even when you are not wearing the watch.
