Versa 3 battery draining quickly

[Bigmo1962]

I fully charged the watch this morning to 100% with in 4 hrs it is completely flat. This has happened twice now. I only have the square magnetic charger that came with the watch. All other devices charge great from the same USB port.

Hi @Bigmo1962 - firstly make sure it is charging by pull down on the watch to see the level. This will ensure you are getting the correct information.

If it does decline to 0 in 4 hours, charge and restart the watch from the watch Settings menu. Shutdown and wait for 10 seconds before restarting. If it gets hot while charging stop immediately.

Also try with the phone Bluetooth switched off to see if it lasts longer.

If nothing fixes it get it replaced under warranty, it may be damaged, possibly from water getting in.
