[Lefthander]

Why is it since forced firmware update the battery life has halved on my.versa 3!!!

Hi @Lefthander, welcome to the community, and thanks for already trying some steps.

I understand your frustration with your Versa 3 battery life. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps:

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve battery issues.   

• Due to the update, some changes to settings or features might be affecting battery life.

• Heavy use of features like GPS or always-on display can drain the battery faster.   

For more help, please check out this article: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?

Have tried restart, only same features on as were before firmware update!!
I have noticed this seems to be a common complaint since update!! It really
is poor of yourselves, have always been happy with my watch until now.
Will now probably have to upgrade (but not fitbit!).
Apparently you still have not figured out how to do the flipscreen I
commented about few years ago as being lefthanded wearing watch on right
wrist the button is on the wrong side!!!

Hello there @Lefthander, thank you for your feedback on the recent update.

I understand your frustration about the battery issue. Our team is working to fix them.

I appreciate your suggestion about the screen flip for left-handed users. We consider all feedback, but some features are complex to implement. Sharing the idea again in the Product Feedback board is the best way to proceed.
