Get Started
Welcome to Fitbit Versa, an all-day companion that lasts 4+ days
and uses personalized insights, music, and more to help you
reach your goals. Take a moment to review our complete safety
information at http://www.fitbit.com/safety.
What's in the box
Your Versa box includes:
1. Watch with small wristband
2. Charging cradle
3. Additional large wristband
Set up Versa
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads,
Android phones, or Windows 10 devices.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your height,
weight, and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate
distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. When you set up
your account, your first name, last initial, and photos are visible
to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other
information, but most of the information you provide is private
by default.
Charge your watch
A fully-charged Versa has a battery life of up to 4+ days. Battery
life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual
results will vary.
To charge Versa:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your
computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger.
2. Pinch the clip and place Versa in the charging cradle. The
pins on the charging cradle must align with the gold
contacts on the back of the watch. The percent charged
appears on screen.
3. While the watch charges, tap the screen to check the
battery level. Tap the screen twice to use Versa while it
charges.
Set up with your phone or tablet
The free Fitbit app is compatible with most iPhones and iPads,
Android phones, and Windows 10 devices. If you're unsure if the
Fitbit app is compatible with your device, see fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below,
depending on your device.
• Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads
• Google Play Store for Android phones
• Microsoft Store for Windows 10 devices
2. Install the app.
3. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be
guided through a series of questions that help you create
an account.
4. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connect
Versa to your Fitbit account.
Connect to Wi-Fi
During setup, you're prompted to connect Versa to your Wi-Fi
network. Versa uses Wi-Fi to more quickly download playlists and
apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster OS updates.
Versa can connect to open, WEP, WPA personal, and WPA2
personal Wi-Fi networks. Your watch won't connect to 5GHz,
WPA enterprise, or public Wi-Fi networks that require logins,
subscriptions, or profiles. If you see fields for a username or
domain when connecting to the Wi-Fi network on a computer,
the network isn't supported.
For best results, connect Versa to your home or work Wi-Fi
network. Make sure you know the network password before
connecting.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
See your data in the Fitbit app
Sync Versa to transfer your data to the Fitbit app, where you can
view your exercise and sleep data, log food and water, participate
in challenges, and more. We recommend turning on the all-day
sync feature, so Versa can periodically sync with the app. To turn
on this feature:
From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the Account icon
tile > All-Day Sync.
> Versa
If you turn off the all-day sync feature, we recommend syncing at
least once a day. Each time you open the Fitbit app, Versa syncs
automatically when it's nearby. You can also use the Sync Now
option in the app at any time.
Wear Versa
Placement for all-day wear vs exercise:
When you're not exercising, wear Versa a finger's width above
your wrist bone.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
Try wearing Versa higher on your wrist during exercise for an
improved fit and more accurate heart-rate reading. Many
exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting, cause you to bend
your wrist frequently, which can interfere with the heart-rate
signal if the watch is lower on your wrist.
Make sure the watch is in contact with your skin.
Don't wear your watch too tight; a tight wristband restricts blood
flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal. The watch should
be slightly tighter (snug but not constricting) during exercise.
With high-intensity interval training or other activities where your
wrist is moving vigorously and non-rhythmically, the movement
may limit the sensor's ability to provide a heart-rate reading. If
your watch doesn't show a heart-rate reading, try relaxing your
wrist and staying still briefly.
Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Versa
on your dominant or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is
the one you use for writing and eating. By default, the Wrist
setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Versa on your
dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.
Change the wristband
Versa comes with a small wristband attached and an additional
large, bottom wristband in the box.
Remove a wristband
To remove the wristband:
1. Turn over Versa and find the quick-release lever.
2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull
the wristband away from the watch to release it.
3. Repeat on the other side.
Attach a wristband
To attach a wristband:
1. Slide the pin (the side opposite the quick-release
lever) into the notch on the watch. Attach the wristband
with the clasp to the top of the watch.
2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the
other end of the wristband into place.
3. When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the
quick-release lever.

Restart and Erase
Some troubleshooting steps may ask you to restart your watch,
while erasing it is useful if you want to give Versa to another
person.
Restart Versa
To restart your watch, press and hold the back and bottom
buttons for a few seconds until you see the Fitbit logo on the
screen. Restarting your watch reboots the device but doesn't
delete any data.
Versa has a small hole (altimeter sensor) on the back of the
device. Don’t attempt to restart your device by inserting any
items, such as paper clips, into this hole as you can damage your
Versa.
Erase Versa
If you want to give Versa to another person or wish to return it,
first clear your personal data:
•
On Versa, open the Settings app
Reset.

Troubleshooting
If Versa isn't working properly, see our troubleshooting steps
below. Visit help.fitbit.com for more information.
Heart-rate signal missing
Versa continuously tracks your heart rate while you're exercising
and throughout the day. If the heart-rate sensor on your watch
has difficulty detecting a signal, dashed lines appear.
If your device doesn't detect a heart-rate signal, first make sure
heart-rate tracking is turned on in the Settings app on your
device. Next, make sure you're wearing your watch correctly,
either by moving it higher or lower on your wrist or by tightening
or loosening the wristband. Versa should be in contact with your
skin. After holding your arm still and straight for a short time, you
should see your heart rate again.
If the heart-rate signal is still missing, open the Settings app
your watch and make sure Heart Rate is set to On.
on
Can't connect to Wi-Fi
If Versa can't connect to Wi-Fi, first make sure that you're
attempting to connect your watch to a compatible network. For
best results, use your home or work Wi-Fi network. Versa can't
connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi, WPA enterprise, or public networks that
require logins, subscriptions, or profiles.
After verifying the network is compatible, restart your watch and
try connecting to Wi-Fi again. If you see other networks appear in
the list of available networks, but not your preferred network,
move your watch closer to your router.
Other issues
If your watch experiences any of the following problems, restart
it:
• Won't sync
• Won't respond to taps, swipes, or button press
• Won't track steps or other data
