Versa 4 keeps vibrating when exercising

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I want to track my walks, but it vibrates constantly and is so annoying I end up stopping my exercise every time. I've tried turning off every notification I can think of, but it just continuously vibrates. The worst part is, nowhere does it actually tell me why it's vibrating.

Can someone please, for the love of god, tell me how I can have a peaceful with my wrist buzzing non-stop but still track my exercise? 

I will be buying something different if this can't be fixed.

Hi @zmikers.  Are you using GPS with your walks?  Some users complain about really poor GPS connectivity with the Versa 4 and Sense 2.  They complain about constant disconnection/reconnection.  When this happens, you can see the tiny arrow on the GPS icon go from connected to disconnected.  It's really rare for me to do GPS tracking, so I don't have a solution.

The Exercise app can give you AZM notifications when you change zones.  But that shows up on the screen and i suspect you already turned that off.

Take a look at the Fitbit help site for further assistance and information.

Yes, after researching, I'm pretty sure it's the GPS, which is very disappointing because that means there's nothing I can do about it. The simplest fix would be to allow vibration to be turned off but that is not an option.

It’s the worst!! 
It causes me anxiety every time I walk because of the continuous buzzing. I’m also walking in suburban areas where there’s plenty of signal and clear areas and it’s still doing it - I’d get it if I was in amongst high rises and but that’s not the case. 
I don’t have a solution yet, I’m considering moving to a Garmin because it’s hindering my health rather than helping it which is not the point of the device.

I don't think there is a solution. During a live chat with a Fitbit agent. They offered me 35% off a new watch because they understand this is an issue, but I doubt want a new Fitbit if it's going to do the same thing.. I'll be buying a new watch from a new company soon.
