Hi there @aaiiina_, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided about your Versa's behavior and for taking the time to fix it prior to posting here. I'll be glad to help you with this. 

In order for me to better assist you with this, please confirm that you've followed the steps listed below:

  • Clean the charging contacts on the back of your device and the pins on your charging cable using the instructions in How do I clean my Fitbit device?
  • If the error "insufficient power source" appears on your device's screen, remove other devices plugged in to your power source, or plug your device in to another source.
  • Try a different USB port or a UL-certified wall charger.
  • Check the alignment and try reconnecting your device to the charging cable. For more information, see How do I charge my Fitbit device?
  • Restart your Fitbit once again. For more information, see How do I restart my Fitbit device?

If the above steps don't work, at this point I recommend doing a factory reset (before doing so, make sure to remove your watch from your Fitbit account): 

  1. On the device, hold all three buttons for about 10 to 12 seconds. 
  2. When the Fitbit logo disappears, quickly release the bottom right button, continuing to hold down the left and top right buttons (releasing the bottom right button as soon as the logo disappears is time sensitive). 
  3. When the device vibrates, release all buttons. 
  4. Wait for approximately 1-2 minutes while the device clears all data. Eventually, the Fitbit logo appears and the device boots and displays Fitbit.com/setup.
  5. When the device successfully resets, please use the normal out of the box process of updating the firmware. You can check: How do I update my Fitbit device? for more details. 

Take in consideration that a factory reset deletes any stored data, which includes all data that hasn't synced to your Fitbit account and your applications, alarms, etc. 

I'm looking forward to your response, keep me posted.

I've tried all this things and it still doesn't work. What should I do?
Best Answer

I received my Fitbit Versa Special Edition as a gift and soon had connectivity issues. I restarted both my watch and phone, that didn't help so I did a factory reset on my watch and it will not power on. My battery was at 81% and to attempt to power it on I pressed the left and bottom right buttons for over 10 seconds.

Fitbit versa is worst device. In a span of 1.5 years it was damaged multiple times. Out of warranty now so no replacement . Same happened with my wife & 2 of my friends to whom I suggested versa based on Charge HR I used in past.

even 25% discount offered is not on charge 4 which i would prefer all this mess.

Not at all happy with such services.
