I have checked the forums and tried all suggestions... restarting both phone and Versa. Checking software on iPhone is updated. (It is). Updating app. Uninstalling then reinstalling app. TUrning ‘all day sync’ off, and attempting sync, then turning it back on and attempting sync. Turning Bluetooth on and off.
Nothing is working and it’s very frustrating!! I have had the watch for just over a month. The last full sync was 12 days ago! And my phone battery is constantly drained prematurely from attempting to sync all day! I don’t receive notifications nor recorded stats given it won’t sync. Help!

Hello @K8iM8i, thanks for joining us, it's always a pleasure for me to welcome new members to the Fitbit Community. I hope you're doing well @Maria2018, it's nice to see you around.
@K8iM8i, thanks for sharing your experience with us and for letting me know all the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far in hopes to resolve your issue. At this moment I would like to suggest you to set up your Versa as a new device in your phone to reset the connection between both devices. Don't worry, none of the information already stored in the account will be deleted.
To set up your Versa as a new device:
- Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and check if your tracker is on the list of paired devices. If it is, tap on it and select Forget this Device.
- Open the Fitbit app and tap on the Account symbol at the top right corner of the screen, then tap on "Set up a New Device"
- Choose your tracker and follow the onscreen instructions to continue
- When the app asks you to replace your current tracker, please replace it and continue with the process.
- When a pop-up appears asking you to Pair your tracker to your device, tap on Pair and continue.
Make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices around that might interfere when setting up. Also, it's a good idea to restart your Versa by pressing and holding the Back and Select buttons (left and bottom right) until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen one more time before setting it up as a new device.
@Maria2018, if you have already tried all the troubleshooting steps @K8iM8i mentioned in her post, please try to set up your Zip as a new device with the instructions provided earlier. If you're still having trouble syncing your tracker, please reply to me with a list of troubleshooting steps you've have already performed so I can determine what we should do next.
I hope this can be helpful, if there's anything else I can do for you, please feel free to reply.

Good morning @MarcoGFitbit. So here we are less than one month later and the Versa is doing exactly the same thing again and not completing the sync.
It is ridiculous to expect that every 3-4 wks I’ll have to manually reset and load it as a new device just to be able to use it 😞 Its not like it’s a cheap watch!
The last full sync occurred on the 4th of September!!

Hello @K8iM8i, I hope you're doing well, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I appreciate you have come back and shared your experience with me. Thanks for letting me know the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far. At this moment i would like to ask you to try the following:
- Make sure the latest version of the Fitbit app is installed on your phone.
- The software on your mobile device is up to date. To check, tap Settings > General > Software Update.
- Make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices around as they might interfere with the syncing process
- Check that your Fitbit device's battery isn't critically low.
If your device still won't sync, try these steps:
- Force quit the Fitbit app.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and back on.
- Open the Fitbit app.
- If your Fitbit device didn't sync, restart your phone again.
- Open the Fitbit app.
- If your Fitbit device didn't sync, restart it.
- If your Fitbit device won't sync after the restart, log in to your Fitbit account on a different phone, tablet, or computer and try to sync.
- If your Fitbit device still doesn’t sync, remove all other Fitbit devices from your account and from the list of connected Bluetooth devices on your mobile device and try to sync.
I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and keep me posted in case you need anything else.

I will try these steps when I have access to my home wifi ... but just so we’re clear - I am not happy this watch has spent more time OFF my wrist not working, than ON 😞
Kind Regards,
Katie Williams

Ever since the latest update I have had problems. Today food being logged is disappearing and the Versa won’t sync. The other day it didn’t record active minutes. I am getting frustrated.
