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:
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

Set up Versa
For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android
phones. You can also set up Versa on Windows 10 devices. If you don’t have a
compatible phone or tablet, use a Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC. Keep in mind
that a phone is required for call, text, calendar, and smartphone app notifications.
To create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your birthdate, height, weight,
and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic
rate, and calorie burn. After you set up your account, your first name, last initial, and
profile picture are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other
information, but most of the information you provide to create an account 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, 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.
7

While the watch charges, tap the screen twice to turn the screen on and check the
battery level. Tap again to use Versa.
Set up with your phone or tablet
Set up Versa with the Fitbit app. The Fitbit app is compatible with most popular
phones and tablets. For more information, see fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
8

1. Download the Fitbit app:
lApple App Store for iPhones and iPads
lGoogle Play Store for Android phones
lMicrosoft Store for Windows 10 devices
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.
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 help.fitbit.com.
Set up with your Windows 10 PC
If you don't have a compatible phone, you can set up and sync Versa with a
Bluetooth-enabled Windows 10 PC and the Fitbit app.
To get the Fitbit app for your computer:
1. Click the Start button on your PC and open the Microsoft Store.
2. Search for "Fitbit app". After you find it, click Free to download the app to
your computer.
3. Click Microsoft account to sign in with your existing Microsoft account. If you
don't already have an account with Microsoft, follow the on-screen instructions

9

When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your
new watch and then explore the Fitbit app.
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, 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 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 activity
and sleep data, log food and water, participate in challenges, and more.
Wear Versa
Place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.
10

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.
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).
11

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.
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65. All
Versa series bands are compatible with all devices in the Fitbit Versa series.
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.
12

3. Repeat on the other side.
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.
13

3. When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.
