Get started
Welcome to Fitbit Versa, an all-day companion that lasts 4+days and uses
personalized insights and more to help you reach your goals.
Take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety.
Versa is not intended to provide medical or scientific data.
What's in the box
Your Versa box includes:
Watch with small band
(color and material varies) Charging cradle Additional large band (color and material varies)
The detachable bands on Versa come in a variety of colors and materials, sold
separately.
6

Charge your watch
A fully-charged Versa has a battery life of 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, a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
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.
While the watch charges, tap the screen twice to turn the screen on and check the
battery level. Tap again to use Versa.
7

Set up with your phone
Set up Versa with the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. The Fitbit
app is compatible with most popular phones. See fitbit.com/devices to check if
your phone is compatible.
To get started:
1. Download the Fitbit app:
lApple App Store for iPhones
lGoogle Play Store for Android phones
2. Install the app, and open it.
lIf you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account tap the
Today tab your profile picture Set Up a Device.
lIf you don't have a Fitbit account, tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a
series of questions to create a Fitbit account.
3. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connect Versa to your
account.
8

When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your new
watch and then explore the Fitbit app.
For more information, see the related help article.
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 apps from the Fitbit Gallery and for faster, more
reliable 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 more than a password to connect⁠—for example, 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 Wi-Fi network. Make sure you know
the network password before connecting.
For more information, see the related help article.
See your data in the Fitbit app
Open the Fitbit app on your phone to see your health metrics, activity and sleep
data, choose a workout or mindfulness session, and more.

Wear Versa
WearVersa around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band, or if you
purchased another band, see the instructions in "Change the band" on page12.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you're not exercising, wear Versa a finger's width above your wrist bone.
In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by
removing your watch for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend
removing your watch while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing
your watch, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos,
and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your watch and may cause
skin irritation.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
lDuring a workout, experiment with wearing your watch a bit higher on your
wrist for an improved fit. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting,
cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which could interfere with the heart-
rate signal if the watch is lower on your wrist.
10

lWear your watch on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device is
in contact with your skin.
lConsider tightening your band before a workout and loosening it when you’re
done. The band should be snug but not constricting (a tight band restricts
blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal).
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. To start, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Versa on your
dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture Versa tile
Wrist Dominant.
Wear and care tips
lClean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
lIf your watch gets wet, remove and dry it completely after your activity.
lTake your watch off from time to time.
For more information, visit the Fitbit Wear & Care page.

Change the band
Versa comes with a small band attached and an additional large, bottom band in the
box. Boththe top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands, sold
separately on fitbit.com. For band measurements, see "Band size" on page57.
Fitbit Versa 2 and Fitbit Versa Lite Edition bands are compatible with Versa.
Remove a band
1. Turn over Versa and find the quick-release lever.
2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the band away from
the watch to release it.
3. Repeat on the other side.
12

Attach a band
1. To attach a band, hold the band at a 45° angle and slide the pin (the side
opposite the quick-release lever) into the notch on the watch.
2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the band
into place.
3. When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.
