I have recently been experiencing disappointing battery drain. This started about 2 weeks ago, i didn't change anything with my setting ( no new usage, no new face clock) and the battery started draining very quickly lasting only one day.  I have tried many troubleshooting suggestions like factory reset, restarting the device, setting the brightness to dim, adjusting the screen wake settings, reducing the amount of notifications, setting a sleep schedule ,(do not disturb), disabling the spo2. Still the battery drops from 100% to 85% within an hour or two and after that the battery seems to behave more normally. Also it always seems to drops another 10% overnight. I'm not sure what else to do as this happened suddenly and the watch is only a year old. (Nov-2021)

Hello there, @Carmandy. Thanks for stopping by in the Community Forums and trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 3 before reaching out. 

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? 

Hope this helps.

Hi @MarreFitbit i followed the link you provided and do not have that option available. There is nothing after the bedtime reminder settings.

 

Update: I charged the watch to 100 percent before bed then shut it off in in the settings. It stayed off all night and in the morning i turned the watch back on and it was at 87%.  However it does not seem to matter the time of day, the battery always drains from 100% to 85ish% after a charge

Turning on the “always-on” feature and GPS through the Fitbit mobile app is the reason your battery life is draining faster. This is allowing your watch to constantly display your screen and track your location even when you are not using it at the moment.
