Versa not holding a charge

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

I noticed I’m charging my Versa a lot more than I should. Battery on my Versa drains off in less than a day and its only 2 months old? Have switched off all application settings on my Versa but problem still persist. Disappointing. Good thing I still have my Alta. Battery life lasts a little over 7 days. Any advise, please?

Do you have any 3rd part apps or watch faces installed? Sometimes these can take a hit to battery life depending on what they are doing in the background.

Watch face is original and no 3rd party apps. I have switched off Bluetooth and disallowed tracker to sync on my iPhone. Battery still drains quickly.

My only other suggestion would be to do a full factory reset. If you think you've exhausted all the troubleshooting tips, then I think it may be time to get in touch with customer support

Mine did the same. After going through the support teams troubleshooting issues (3 calls), they sent me a new one. I hope this ones goes well.

On your watch, open the Settings app > About > Factory Reset.

I have only had mine for two weeks and mine will not stay charged longer than about six hours.  Sorry you're having the same issue.  This was helpful to read.  Going to try a reset and then contact support if that doesn't work.  Thanks!!!!

Fast draining is usually a result of:

- music transfer from PC to watch over WLAN

- Firmware updates over WLAN (bluetooth)

- display always ON

- connected GPS

- 24h, permanent connection,... settings in the phone app

- messages switched ON and many messages

- many notifications enabled

- some none Fitbit watch faces which update their infos in seconds

- defects

- also turning it OFF or a reset might help:

If I only sync once a day, have messages OFF and all the above in mind, I get 4-5 days. Hope this helps ...
