Versa 3 screen wake and button issues

[Kj47]

Just got a new Versa 3 and the screen is really picky about when it wants to come on. The button on the side is also really terrible. It won't do anything if I push, then I push too long and the Google assistant comes on.

Also, the sleep tracking isn't very accurate (my old Charge 2 did better with the wake up time). The Versa still says I'm asleep while the watch is sitting on my dresser and I'm in the shower.

Hi @Kj47  - the button push requires a knack. Worn on the left arm squeeze between thumb and fist finger so the fleshy part if the thumb comes into contact with the button, and may slightly lift the watch.

You can't use a finger nail.

Practice turning the display on and off.

With the display on, swipe the watch face to the right to get to Quick Settings and make sure the watch icon is enabled, then when you raise your wrist to look at the watch it will come on automatically.

It will also come on with 2 gentle taps.

Make sure when removing your watch you don't accidentally go to Quick Settings and enable sleep or do not disturb icons, or turn off the watch icon, it's quite easy to happen.
