Hello. I have had my Versa since 4/14/2018 this year and i found out a few annoying things. First off, the cradle doesn't allow you to charge the versa if you have one of those protective rubber skins. You have to take it out.
Second off, its touchy so it may say it can't charge but will. Other times nothing shows but when you check it later, it is charged.
Finely 3rd and the reason i won't be buying another fitbit is that the contacts on the bottom have already worn off from less than a few months of use. My versa would not charge and i found that one of the 4 contact pins had worn halfway off and has buildup of residue. Probably sweat. I used a q-tip to clean it and was then able to charge it but i have to struggle to seat it in the poorly designed adapter. The straps work against the charger by pushing it off. This design obviously was not field tested very well by Fitbit.
I hate to post such negative reviews but after the auto text reply issue which i also fixed on my own and now this, I'm finding thay my old Pebble Steel will make a triumphant return to my wrist.
It would have been a better option to have put the contacts on the side or heck, even the front of the watch with a magnetic charger like Pebble. That or just some rubber flap to protect it. At this rate, i fear in another month or so, my $200+ Fitbit Versa will become useless, unable to charge. A fitness tracker that can't hold up to fitness.
And note, i don't wear it in a pool while swimming nor in the shower. Just daily everyday use. I even don't wear it while sleeping to avoid rolling on it.
What im doing now is cutting the protector for easy off and on and then put clear tape over the cutout for the charging hole so its protected whil on my wrist. Hopefully this keeps it alive.
Pics included to show what i mean. Cheers.
