Versa battery drains quickly

[SunsetRunner]

I've noticed in the last two weeks that my Fitbit doesn't hold its charge as it used to. I've not changed any settings. This is not great as I haven't had the Fitbit for long.. I think less then a year..

Hi there, @SunsetRunner. Welcome to the Community Forums. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa's battery life is no longer lasting as it used to.

As you may know, your Versa battery should last up to 4 days. However, as with other electronic devices, the battery will depend on the features and how often they're used, such as the GPS, Spotify app or animated clock faces. While this doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them, please take into into consideration the conditions that impact your watch's battery.

That being said, I'd recommend to change the clock face to one designed by Fitbit and please confirm if you've followed the tips and recommendations to maximize your watch's battery life described here.

Hi, thank you for the reply. 

What use would the smart watch with those features make the watch? Just a normal fitness tracker. When I purchased the watch, it would last 6 days between charges. I get that over time the battery will get weaker however this is a very common issue for Fitbit as I had one previous that only lasted 9 months from brand new. You guys did nothing to help then. I came away from Fitbit but had a worse experience so came back. 

I would of expected more for a "smart watch".
