My versa 3 battery is lasting half a day. I have to constantly change. Why is that?

Hi there, @penny831. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Versa 3. 

Please know that your Versa 3 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.

Hi @MarreFitbit I have had this issue as well and have done the tips you provided. Turned off always on and reset my watch and the battery would not last more than a day. What can I do?

I still have to recharge mine daily. I don’t want to take face clock off. I like it. I will see if I can erase something else

Did you recently get your versa 3? I’ve only had mine for 2 months

 

Update: This morning at around 10 am my watch was at 100%, now at night it is at 35%. Use to last me a week. Now, barely 2 days.

I have the same problem. I charge my Fitbit daily to 100%. At best the battery life will last 24-30 hours. I have turned  always on to off and changed to a simple clock face. No change in battery drain.. my versa 3 is less than 6 months old..,
