I've been having alot of issues with my Versa. One of which is battery life of only 27 hours. I was told to charge phone and record syncs, still charge lasted only 27 hours. NOW Support says to charge for at least 2 hours even if watch reads 100%. Hopefully this info is helpful to someone.

Looking at my Versa now and looks like the back is swelling.... Doesn't seem as slim as it was before. Worried about having a possible expanding battery in my wrist!
Support still haven't got back to my last reply on email.

That's sounds bad I've not heard of a swelling battery but I wouldn't be wearing it. Is it out of warranty if not take it back and let the store deal with it

Someone posted a photo earlier in this thread comparing his replacement to his faulty one, and faulty one was clearly swelling. Seems that post got removed from this thread?

Someone doesn't want it seen then. If I see anything online that I think could be of interest I take a screenshot so I can always check it out. Hope you get it sorted

Oh please be careful!! I would put it in a used washed out tin can in case in ruptures. Call them directly!! I can look up the number for you if you need it. I'm sorry your dealing with this Mark😔😔

Just been through the thread and definitely can't find the pictures. I just wanted to see if mine looked like the swelling one or if I'm being paranoid with the terrible battery life.
Hopefully Fitbit will get back to me soon, I've only had the watch since end of April.

While well intention, this reply is basically saying, 'turn off all of the features you bought the Versa for and use it as a plain watch. Then your battery will last for a far shorter period than a normal watch.'
Not really a solution to the problem.

just curious, what watch face do u use?? Because when I used the Bitmoji watchface by Fitbit, the battery would drain rapidly. If so, then change the watch face.

Have tried just about everything since my wife's Versa began eating the battery a week or so ago.Sometimes it loses 20 to 30% in a matter of 30 minutes. I tried turning everything off that I could think of. I ended up trying a full factory reset and download, but think it got even worse. Some of the charges I've tried have been well over 2 hours. She got this March 1st and it started out fine. Don't know what to do next....

Hi dekkal
its still under warranty so return it to store if you can’t get Fitbit to replace it.
Hope you get it sorted
