Update, Restart, and Erase

Some troubleshooting steps may require you to restart your watch, while erasing it is useful if you want to give the Versa Lite Edition to another person. Update your watch to receive new Fitbit OS updates.

Update Versa Lite Edition

• Update your watch to get the latest feature enhancements and product updates.
• When an update is available, a notification appears in the Fitbit app. After you start the update, follow the progress bars on Versa Lite Edition and in the Fitbit app until the update is complete. Keep your watch and phone close to each other during the update.
• Regularly sync Versa Lite Edition with the Fitbit app and let the Fitbit app run in the background on your phone, which allows a small portion of the firmware update to download to your watch each time you sync. You may need to adjust your phone’s settings to allow the Fitbit app to run in the background.

Updating Versa Lite Edition may be demanding on the battery. We recommend plugging your watch into the charger before starting an update.

Troubleshooting

If Versa Lite Edition isn't working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below.

Heart-rate signal missing
Versa Lite Edition 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 Lite Edition 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.

Other issues
If you experience any of the following issues, restart your watch:

• Won't sync
• Won't respond to taps, swipes, or button presses
• Won't track steps or other data
• Won't show notifications
