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.

Mine is brand new and battery only lasts 24 hours. Looking for advice!

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!

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!

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 subscription and was using it. After turning it off my battery is behaving normally.
