Each time you open the Fitbit app, Versa Lite Edition syncs automatically when it's nearby. You can also use the Sync Now option in the app at any time.

Wear Versa Lite Edition

Place Versa Lite Edition around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband, or if you purchased an accessory wristband, see the instructions in "Change the wristband" on page 13.

Placement for all-day wear vs exercise

When you're not exercising, wear Versa Lite Edition a finger's width above your wrist bone.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

Try wearing Versa Lite Edition 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 Lite Edition 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 Lite Edition on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app.

Change the wristband

Versa Lite Edition comes with a small wristband attached and an additional large, bottom wristband in the box. Both the top and bottom wristbands can be swapped with accessory wristbands, sold separately. For wristband measurements, see "Wristband size" on page 50.
Remove a wristband
To remove the wristband:

Turn over Versa Lite Edition and find the quick-release lever.
While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the wristband away from the watch to release it.
Repeat on the other side.

Attach a wristband
To attach a wristband:

Attach the wristband with the clasp to the top of the watch. Slide the pin (the side opposite the quick-release lever) into the notch on the watch.
While pressing the quick-release lever inward, slide the other end of the wristband into place.
When both ends of the pin are inserted, release the quick-release lever.

Three zones based on American Heart Association recommendations are available, or you can create a custom zone if you have a specific heart rate you're targeting.

Default heart-rate zones are calculated using your estimated maximum heart rate. Fitbit calculates your maximum heart rate with the common formula of 220 minus your age.

Note that the heart-rate value appears gray if your watch is searching for a stronger reading.

Custom heart-rate zones
Configure a custom heart-rate zone or a custom max heart rate in the Fitbit app if you have a specific target in mind. For example, elite athletes might have a target that differs from the American Heart Association’s recommendations for most people.

Troubleshooting

If Versa Lite Edition isn't working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below. Visit help.fitbit.com for more information.
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 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 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.
If the heart-rate signal is still missing, open the Settings app on your watch and make sure Heart Rate is set to On.

GPS signal missing
Environmental factors, including tall buildings, dense forest, steep hills, and even 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, "connecting" 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 device:

Won't sync
Won't respond to taps, swipes, or button press
Won't track steps or other data
