Versa Battery Life - dramatic change

[rickharris]

I have a 1st gen. Versa and have started experiencing battery issues in the last week.  For the entire life of the tracker, I have gotten 3+ days per charge with zero issues.  I have call/text notifications on, heart rate on, all day sync, and always connected turned on.  To my knowledge, no settings have changed on the app or tracker.  Last night I charged to 100% (10 pm) and today(10 am) I am at 50%.  That's only one day per charge??  The only thing that may have changed is that my Samsung GS9 updated to Android 10.  Anyone else have a similar experience?  I understand that the battery will degrade over time...but sudden dropoffs aren't usually the norm.  Like others, I don't want to start turning off all of the useful functions just to try to squeeze a little more life from the battery.  I was OK charging every 3 or 4 days.

It's 10:45 and it's now at 40%.

Iv also just had this problem occur. My versa, bought in July 2019 - only needed charging every 3-4 days. Yesterday I took it off charge, used it for the day as usual and in the evening it said it was at 5%. I haven’t changed anything in regards to it’s use.. it isn’t even 1 year old!

Sudden drop off on Versa charge life to one day from 5!!!!  This is my second Versa as first one was replaced with this one by FitBit.  Guess expectations can be for watch to last one year.  

But in my book that’s too expensive!!!
