Versa 3 battery draining quickly

[CjPringle8]

I normally get 5-6 days of battery life from my Fitbit versa 3. Over the last week I love been having to charge it daily and I haven’t changed any settings. How do I fix this?

Does the app need an update ? Did you change your ac adapter?

Hi @CjPringle8 - the first thing to try is a restart by holding the watch button for 10 seconds till it blanks or vibrates and wait for the logo to appear and for it to start.

If this doesn't help try changing clock face in case it has a a fault.

In case it it is a Fitbit App issue, sync and turn off the phone's Bluetooth for a few days (you won't get watch notifications during this time.)

Generally a sudden drop in battery life of that magnitude can be related to a watch fault, often with other odd behaviour, if caused by water getting in.

In order to confirm a watch fault it will be necessary to do a factory reset, not without risk.

Eventually if the fault persists it can be replaced if under warranty.

I’m having the same issue all of the sudden this week

Here is the issue... The battery on this product that you have spent upwards of around $300 is junk. The product engineers on this forum will tell you "helpful tips" to make this watch battery last longer, but at the end of the day you bought a sub-par product from a cheap company. If your watch doesn't last more than 3 years, it is junk. Do yourself a favor and spend a few more dollars for a quality product... Apple or Samsung, whatever you get will last longer and work better than Versa 3.
