Versa battery

[mheiss]

I have had my.Versa about 9 months. Recently, I'll charge it to 100% the night before, put it on to sleep and head out the door. By 3pm, the battery is dead. I've removed alarms, stopped auto sync, removed quick view and don't have anything except a normal clock face. 

Shouldn't the battery be lasting longer than this? What's the point of having it if it doesn't even last one full day? Can anyone help?

I've had mine 3 1/2 months and mine just started doing the same thing this last week. I noticed the battery not lasting as long and then I was charging it every day so it would last. It's supposed to last most of a week on a charge.

Yes, it definitely should be lasting a lot longer than that. As Wendy mentioned, did you try restarting it? Sometimes that can help to clear out caches and stabilize RAM, allowing your watch to function optimally. Also, try experimenting with different clock faces. Had two friends who were experiencing a bad drain on their Versas and, as it turns out, it was the clock face. If nothing else works, try contacting Fitbit for a replacement if they can't rectify the issue. Fitbit's support, in my opinion, is way above par and excels above and beyond a lot of other companies. Can't hurt to try. 

But yeah, that is absolutely not a normal battery life for the Versa. I charged mine yesterday at 10 a.m., took it off the charger, wore it all day, played with my apps (and I have a lot of them lol), and still had a 92 percent charge at 10 p.m. This is the "norm." 

Good luck to you!
