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?

through fitbit.com

Yes I’ve had all the same issues. I’m returning mine too. I can’t wait to get the replacement. I love this Fitbit!! All the other features are awesome.

I have been monitoring this thread... I bought my Fitbit Versa (special edition) from Amazon and charged it for 4 hours before doing any setup.  the setup was easy and i was very happy with the watch.  the first week i saw the battery drain to ~48% after 24h.  I removed all 3rd party apps and changed back to a Fitbit watch face.  Same battery life.  I let it die (after only ~40hrs) and recharged overnight.  I rebooted it this morning.  I am going to see how the device performs today.  I am leaving All-Day Sync ON - i use the notifications feature, but the brightness is set to DIM and i have a Fitbit watch face.  Will let you know how it goes....

I tried a second watch, versa. Still the same issues. I am so disappointed! I’m just got an Apple Watch

[LRae85]

That stinks. I was hoping my replacement watch was going to be better. Maybe I will better luck...I hope.. I had an Apple Watch too the first series but i didn’t like it. An the newer Apple watches are so expensive. Well have fun with the Apple Watch.

Just received my watched and set up last night. Charged up overnight. After 8 hours down to 26% .I do have notification active. This is as bad as my old Apple 1 watch. I thought it was suppose to last 4 days .

Even if all that effort works... it removes all of the fun and features
that you bought it for. If I buy high tech I don’t expect the functionality
of a sun dial 🤣 Good Luck!

I bought from amazon. I get 2 days max of battery life. If Fitbit doesn't provide a fix within the one month return period, this Versa is going back too! Too bad though, I actually like it when it works.

[LRae85]

Yeh that’s been happening to mine. So I’m sending it back. Yeh that trouble with my Apple Watch series 1 too. That’s why I got rid of the Apple Watch. I’m hoping my new replacement will work better once I get it.

I had a faulty one so took it back to argos, they've replaced it for a new one and it's worked fine since. Took it off charge at 13:00 yesterday and it's only down to 76%. What I also noticed is that it came with 3/4 charge on it and my faulty one was flat when I received it. 

[Sarahjane130]

Mine is exactly the same, it’s has died twice today!! And takes about 2 hours to charge. It’s going back to Argos 😞

[Cosmogerl]

Average of two days here.. very disappointed in that time. Considering going back to the charge HR...

Update : I have just received notification that Fitbit are finally going to ship me a replacement Versa. I so hope this one performs as specified otherwise I will have to move to another product which I do not want to do as I love the Versa if it would only work.

I am borrowing my sons Alta at the moment & the battery hasn’t been charged since Saturday & is still going strong, that’s what we need for the Versa.

I am very interested to also hear from people whose Versa battery is actually lasting the 4+ days with full functionality. It will give me hope.

My wife has a versa and gets 4 days out of it. She works out 2 hours per day 5 days per week and has a vigorous job moving around alot. 

[Ange6]

That’s great to hear @blu-steel , thanks for the feedback 

[elemtchr1]

I charged my Versa for 16+ hours before even setting mine up & of course, throughout the setup process and I may get 2 & 1/2 days out of it! Not happy. 😖

[CW11]

per fitbit recharged once deplete. sync 5-6 xs per day .Notify when its depleted again. Charged, have worn for 12 hours, wore all night. Still at full . Using fitbit default face per recommendation. We will see. itseems they over promised and under performed.

[LiquidAmber]

Update:  After a full recharge, Fitbit watch face, screen set to dim - the battery life is worse.  I am now at 44% after 24h.  I am disappointed with the battery life.  I will be in touch with Fitbit about this.

[KRajpal]

After a first full charge of my new Versa i am left with 40% battery after two and a half days(~54 hrs). I think i am on course to hit that 4 day mark with full charge or slightly short if it. Will update again once the battery fully runs out.

Just remember.  Every thing you connect drains the battery.  I used mine for music control.  I noticed if I didn’t disconnect that when I wasn’t using it.  It stayed connected all the time and it would drain my battery very fast.
