Versa 3 battery is draining in less than a day

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Versa 3 is only 4 months old and the battery, which lasted 6 or 7 days, now has to be recharged daily. I haven't changed how it is used in any way or changed any of the app settings.

they are sending me a new watch. They first said I didn't have the latest firmware i.e. xxx66, they she put me on hold and said they would replace it. I've had the watch since xmas and never held a charge more than 2 days.  I'd recommend calling after you try all their battery saving suggestions and try to get the firmware update from the appstore. Good luck.  I've been a customer for years and that may have made a difference in their positive response to replace it.

Going through the same issues. Two new Versa 3’s since August 12th and I am NOT using it to respond to text messages or calls. I’m calling Fitbit today to return it for a refund. Very disappointed.

the offer they sent was a replacement or 50% off a different device. i took the replacement but based on what KGM said, maybe I should have moved away from the Versa 3 altogether. I hope the one they are shipping is better but now I am worried.

I did a chat with Fitbit support about my new Versa 3 battery issues — only getting less than 2 days on a charge. They sent me an article and said they would monitor for a few more days.  Then, within about 48 hours my same new Versa 3 started losing Bluetooth connection after just a few hours.  Have rebooted 3 times and now off again.  We are traveling in Europe and this is my only watch!  And as of now I can’t get to the support line on Fitbit.com.  Frustrating, so any suggestions welcome!

Terrible that this is a known problem and they still sell the watch. Versa 4 is coming out but real expensive.

I contacted Fitbit app by chat and they recommended turning off snoring detection. My Fitbit is a month old and I was noticing same issues. Battery was done in 1.5 days. So far this has solved the problem. Only 5% less battery than this morning and I did my workout. The other recommendation they did was to turn off GPS feature except while exercising but I haven’t done this yet. Hope this is helpful!

Can't find the snoring detection setting. Is it on the watch or on the
dashboard?

For snoring detection you need to have a premium subscription. 

It's an option in the settings on the sleep tile in the app, not on the watch.

Yes I have the premium option and I was using it and after stopping it my battery is behaving normally.

Thank you!
