Versa 2 battery is draining quickly

[Foxylady72]

Bought a versa 2 in April, to start with the battery would last nearly a week, but now I'm lucky if it lasts 2/3 days. Have followed advise on her, turned things off and reset it numerous times, but still not lasing

Hi there @Foxylady72, welcome to the Community Forums. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa 2's battery life is not lasting as expected, I understand where your concern is coming from. Thanks for the details provided in your post and for already restarting your watch, I'll be glad to continue to help you.

As you may know, your Versa 2 battery should last up to 6 days. However, as with other electronic devices, the battery will depend on the features and how often they're used, such as the GPS, Spotify app or the Always-On display. While this doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them, please take into into consideration the conditions that impact your watch's battery.

That being said, I'd recommend to change the clock face to one designed by Fitbit and please follow the tips and recommendations to maximize your watch's battery life described here.

Let me know how it goes.

Likewise as I am highly disappointed with the need to charge after a day and half. I have altered the clock face to FitBit selections and only use GPS whist deliberately active. I do not use Alexa, Spotify nor Strava ... now wishing I kept my FitBit Charge HR.

I have followed all the steps that you have said, I don't use GPS, Spotify, alexa or any of the other apps since not using the gym at the moment. With how much I spent i expected the battery to last a lot longer

I am having the same issue. I do not use apps and do not have a always on clock face. I charged it 2 nights ago and it went from 90% last night to turning it self off because the batter was below 3%. I have only had mine since December. Is this some sort of update issue?

[Foxylady72]

I'm not sure, but there does seem to be a lot of people with the same issue. Firbit need to sort this out. I've had a fit bit now for 3 years and do like them, but whats the point if you can't use it properly. Tempted to buy a different make.

Have done everything that you suggested, but battery still running out quickly
