I am so unpleased with my Versa. For $200.00 I expected so much more... For instance, I expected Fitbit to keep their word, when the website states, "Connect Fitbit Versa to wireless Bluetooth headphones like Fitbit Flyer to listen to your favorite tunes—without the wires."
It says LIKE Fitbit Flyer, however when I emailed to explain that my $150.00 AirPods won't connect right, they told me that the Fibit Flyer is the only headphone that they know will work.
The music also cuts in and out consistently.
My workouts pause so much because the screen keeps lighting up for no reason.
Versa does NOT track distance correctly AT ALL.
And I'm also unpleased because it states 4 day battery and I am lucky to get two full days....
So irritated. Could have bought an Apple Watch for $200.00.

@BrittanyMatie Welcome to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here! Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your Versa. Your Versa should work with other wireless headphones not only with the Fitbit Flyer. For the connection issue with your AirPods and the workout tracking I suggest your restart your Versa by doing the following:
Your running stride can be calculated the same way if you run instead of walk.

I tried turning my Versa off and on again and it still won’t connect to my AirPods. Any other ideas?

I dont understand why fitbit support is giving solutions on restart of watch to connect to air pods(is it to flush the bluetooth cache?).
Afaik, airpods run proprietary audio services over bluetooth for low latency and hence work very well only with other Apple devices. However other generic bluetooth head/ear phones should work with fitbit watch as they are generic.

Watch screen on can be made manual(press and hold left button to access the quick shortcuts) I dont use HRM & other unwanted fancy features. My Versa battery(last recharged 7 days ago) had 32% today before I recharged. I guess our usage determines battery life. One more battery sucker is app. In fitbit app, go to settings of each app you got and remove background refresh. I am sure you too will enjoy week long battery like me.
