Versa short battery life....

[Fredgarneau]

I have received my Versa Thursday and after 2 hours of charging it. The battery got drained within 6 hours. I have charge it on a PC. last night, slept with the watch to wake up to see my watch is down to 0%. Any other user having this problem? Should I waiy for an update to correct that or its a harware problem. Thank you for your answers.

I've been seeing a lot of complaints about the battery I am returning this one for the special edition I am told that might be a difference I may not have as much a locking up or battery drainage I believe it arrives today I will keep you posted

Mine was the special edition that I've had same problem with I'm afraid 

[LRae85]

Me too!! Having that same issue!! Your not alone. Can’t figure it out either. 

[KymberlyD]

You want to hear something shady I had a pop-up to read the Fitbit Versa I was going to give it between a two and three because it kept locking up and the battery life and the limits they put on the regular Versa versus the special edition and because I was only giving it the two it would not let me post my review

Auto sinc is switched off. Lighting on the watch is set to dim and the quick response is switched off.

@Doug26

Have you reached out to Fitbit's customer service? They've been pretty helpful in the past, although a lot of the responses are pretty generic at first (half the time they DO work though, sometimes it takes a couple attempts).

I'm not sure there are any limits between the regular Versa and the Special Edition Versa. I have the Special Edition Versa and have all the same issues....

Day 3 at 38%. It will last for the promised 4 days, not so sure about 5 though.

@HeatherLeeVeeIm having similar issues and have been in contract with Support. They recommend to charge Versa for 2 hours even if its fully charged in less time. Havent tried it yet.

I am on my second day wearing it--seems half charged.  There is no way I will go a full four days on this watch--but consider I am not using any of the apps or the music features yet.

[Jujube289]

After exactly 50 hours of continuous wear to work, bed and shower, I am at 57%. Played with it a lot, wore it to the gym and into the pool. Using the standard “layers” clock face.

5 full days and 3 hours, I am at 19%. I have email,text, whatsapp and calendar notification on. I think I will get through the 6th day. This is my 2nd charge. 1st charge 5 days down to about 10%. Looks like it's getting better.

Update: 5 days 18 hours - 7% left. Will charge when I get home from work. 

Update :  6 full days - 3% when I recharge my versa.

Happy with the battery life for now.

[Doug26]

That’s one of the first things I turned off it still dropped to 50% over night

So I I love this new Fitbit except the battery life on mine dies after 6hours of use. It even if Ive charge it for 3 plus hours. Since I got on Tuesday I have to charge this band at least twice a day. Which isn’t fun. I’ve never had this problem with any of my other Fitbits. I’ve tried removing the 3 party apps, turning all day sync off, deleting apps I don’t use. Nothing seems to be working.

LRae85, I would talk with customer service to diagnose your watch. For the week I have owned the Versa, I loose 5% battery overnight, and about 10% after a 12-14 day. I only have to top it off for about thirty minutes each day, while getting dressed or showering. This with all day sync turned on.

[Fitty_Emmi]

I am having this same problem also! I charged it last night (it wouldn't charge past 99%), and I wake up and it's on 47%.... I know it's not going to last throughout the day

[Bobled]

I am at 42% and am into it for 2-1/2 days with notifications turned on.  Something isn’t right here 

[sarah_lin8]

@MarcoFitbit You told me to keep you updated on my battery. Day 4 ends late tonight, right now it is at 14%, I'm pretty sure it'll last until tonight based on how much battery decreases each day. Hope this helps:)

Have you tried factory’s reset on the watch and then charging to see if it helps? That’s my next step. Haven’t tied that yet. Stinks cause I love this new band!
