Hi there, @Joni333. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Versa 2.

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 confirm if you've followed the tips and recommendations to maximize your watch's battery life described here.

I've moved your post to the Other Versa Smartwatches board for organization purposes.

Hope that helps.

Battery life varies by fitbit model. Have you tested your battery life by turning off various settings like GPS & all day sync to see how much longer it lasts?  My Versa 2 charge lasts about 4 days w/GPS & all day sync turned off.

I bought a used Versa 2 and for a few weeks the battery lasted 4-5 days. Now, out of nowhere, it drains in less than a day and it is VERY sluggish. What is going on? How do i fix this? This is not an inexpensive device.

...and now the **ahem** is rebooting constantly. I reset to factory settings and it's still doing it. For $180, this should last more than 2 years.
