Versa 4 does not automatically sync weather

[Sdz2810]

I just got the Versa 4 and I’m noticing the weather app does not automatically sync throughout the day to show reliable, updated weather. If I manually sync the device through the app, the weather will be updated on my watch but that is the only way. Why have a weather app if I have to use my phone to manually sync it..at that point I can just use my phone to check. Am I missing something?

This also impacts my sleep score, where my watch doesn’t send my sleep score to my phone’s Fitbit app without me manually syncing the watch. Halp

Hi @Sdz2810 - the (non) syncing may be an issue with the new Fitbit App.

If the watch is not syncing properly you may not get notifications either.

Try restarting the watch at least once a day, it may help.

Hi @Sdz2810   Both of these issue have been reported with the Versa 4 and Sense 2 since they were released last year and both have been reported to Fitbit.  In my case, my sleep score will show up on my Sense 2 about two hours after I wake up.  Some users write that it takes longer than that.

Fitbit is aware of both of these problems, so there's no way of predicting a fix for them.

I do get notifications 🫠

As for sleep score, if the server is busy during the first sync after waking, yes a second sync may be needed. Yes, I remember one day it took 8-9 hours to get a sleep score. 

As for weather, I'll open the app on the tracker. If it has been a while since the last sync, the weather app would get an update, within 10 seconds the current weather was displayed. I think this isgwhat is not happening.
