Hi there @Ridb, it's nice to see you around the Community Forums. I'll be glad to help you with your inquiry about setting the location for Weather app on your Versa 3.

As @JohnnyRow mentioned, to set up the Weather app:

  1. In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture > your device image > Apps.
  2. Tap the gear icon next to Weather. You may need to swipe up to find the app.
  3. By default, the Weather app shows your current location, which can't be deleted. Add up to 2 additional locations you want to see in the Weather app.
  4. Sync your device with the Fitbit app. It can take a few minutes to see the updated list of locations on your device.

If the weather doesn't update, check the following settings:

  • Location services must be turned on for the Fitbit app. For instructions, see How do I use GPS on my Fitbit device?
  • The Fitbit app must remain running in the background on your phone.

If you change locations, sync your device to see your new location in the Weather app.

Let me know how it goes.

On phone app, Profile Pic > Versa 3 > Apps > My Apps > Weather > Settings

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

I have followed the directions and I cannot get my weather to work. When I try to add a city, it just spins and spins and never adds the city. If I use "current location", it gives me a city about 25-30 miles away from me. I have been trying to get this work on and off for over a year now and it has never worked.

HI @Grissa  - there is probably a bug so that it only really works with current location, adding cities may stop it working. If this is the wrong location certain setups may not be correct.

How it derives current location is uncertain as to the exact source it uses but you could try to make sure your phone locations [and improved accuracy setting] and Fitbit App are setup with all the required permissions and automatic time zone is enabled in the Fitbit App.

Then restart both watch and phone and ensure they are syncing properly.

It may help.

The only place I can find any list of apps is under "gallery," which is listed in the icons when I tap versa3 on my profile. All the permissions are enabled and location is set to current location. The Fitbit app on my phone is allowed "all the time" for location under my settings. I've restarted the Fitbit and my phone. 

When I tap weather on my Fitbit device the message comes up. No location information. Go to the Fitbit mobile app to set up weather.

I'm about 45 minutes into this not working, researching online and trying everything.

Please help!
