Connect to Wi-Fi
During setup, you're prompted to connect Versa 2 to your Wi-Fi network. Versa 2 uses Wi-Fi to more quickly download apps from the Fitbit Gallery and for faster, more reliable OS updates. Versa 2 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 2 to your home Wi-Fi network. Make sure you know the network password before connecting.

Wear Versa 2

• Wear Versa 2 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 14.
• Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
• When you're not exercising, wear Versa 2 a finger's width above your wrist bone.
• In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break regularly 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-ratthe the e tracking while exercising:

• During 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.
• Wear your watch on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device is in contact with your skin.
• Consider 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 2 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 2 on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app:

From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the icon in the top left >Versa 2 tile >Wrist >Dominant.

Wear and care tips

• Clean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
• If your watch gets wet, remove it and dry it completely after your activity.
• Take your watch off from time to time.

Change the band

Versa 2 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. For band measurements, see "Band size" on page 68.
Fitbit Versa and Fitbit Versa Lite Edition bands are compatible with Versa 2.

Remove a band

1. Turn over Versa 2 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.

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.

Troubleshooting

• If Versa 2 isn't working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below.
• Heart-rate signal missing
  Versa 2 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 watch doesn't detect a heart-rate signal, first make sure heart-rate tracking is turned on in the Settings app on your watch. 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 band. Versa 2 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.
• For more information, see the related help article.
• GPS signal missing
  Environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forest, steep hills, and thick cloud cover, can interfere with your phone's ability to connect to GPS satellites. If your phone is searching for a GPS signal during an exercise, a connection appears at the top of the screen.
• For best results, wait for your phone to find the signal before you start your workout.

Can't connect to Wi-Fi

If Versa 2 can't connect to Wi-Fi, you might have entered an incorrect password, or the password might have changed:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the icon in the top left> Versa2 tile.
2. Tap Wi-Fi Settings >Next.
3. Tap the network you want to use.. Remove.
4. Tap Add Network and follow the on-screen instructions to reconnect the Wi-Fi network.

To check if your Wi-Fi network is working correctly, connect another device to your network; if it connects successfully, try again to connect your watch.

If Versa 2 still won't connect to Wi-Fi, make sure that you're attempting to connect your watch to a compatible network. For best results, use your home Wi-Fi network. Versa 2 can't connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi, WPA enterprise, or public networks that require logins, subscriptions, or profiles.

For a list of compatible network types, see "Connect to Wi-Fi" on page 9.

After you verify 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.
