Versa 3 battery is draining overnight

[AJ78]

The battery on my new Versa 3 is dying way too fast overnight. I charge it fully for several hours before bed, put it on before I go to sleep at 100% and put it in sleep mode. By morning it is around 65% and then by end of day it’s down in the 20-35% range. Bought this watch brand new two weeks ago and so far the battery life has been a total disappointment. I get draining quickly if it’s being used a lot but losing over a 1/3 of the battery life while in sleep mode for 7-8hrs is unacceptable. First week I had it the battery was lasting maybe 2.5-3 days, now in the second week I’m having to charge daily.

Hi there, @AJ78. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Versa 3. I understand where your concern is coming from and how you must be feeling. 

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? 

As you already know, 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.
