Versa 3 battery drains in less than 2 days

[Itsrylan]

I only got my versa about 2 months ago. The first 2 weeks, the battery would last at least 6 days before I’d have to charge it. Now, all of the sudden my watch is dying in less than two days. I have tried factory resetting the watch, restarting it, I’ve turned off all notifications for the watch, it still doesn’t last. This is very disappointing being that I’ve only had it two months. It’s brand new! What do I do?

Hi @Itsrylan  - it is probably not the watch or battery at fault at all.

Features can get enabled which can cause this, eg snore detection, AFib etc.

Hi there, @Itsrylan. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 3 before reaching out. I understand where your concern is coming from and how you must be feeling. @Guy_ Thanks for your help!

Are you using Snore Detection? If so, please note that the Snore Detection feature does impact your device’s battery, so we recommend charging your device to at least 40% before going to bed. For more information, see How can I use my Fitbit device to detect snoring and noise levels while I sleep? 

However, I'd like to share with you that the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used in general. Because you're using an Always-On Display clock face, I'd recommend changing the clock face to another one made by Fitbit and monitor your it's behavior in the next day. Additionally, try turning off this setting by opening the Settings app on your watch > Display > Always-on display.
