Versa 3 battery is draining quickly

[Rkfox]

About a month ago I decided it was time to upgrade my versa watch with a new model. I did some research and decided on the verse 3 because I just loved it so much it did everything I wanted and needed and I only had to charge it every 4 days. Well I got the versa3 and I do enjoy the upgrades however the battery life only lasts about 30 hrs…that’s much less than the 6 days it advertises. I thought maybe it was because of the location so I turned that off, deleted apps, turned down the brightness, restarted it…nothing helps. Am I missing something?

Hi there, @Rkfox. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue with your Versa 3 before reaching out. 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? 

However, I'd like to share with you 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.
