Get started

Elevate your day with Fitbit Versa 2, the premium health and fitness watch with Amazon Alexa Built-in, fitness features, apps, and more. Take a moment to review our complete safety information at fitbit.com/safety.

What's in the box

Your Versa 2 box includes:

Watch with small wristband

(color and material varies)

The detachable wristbands on Versa 2 come in a variety of colors and materials, sold separately.

Charging cable Additional large wristband

Set up Versa 2

For the best experience, use the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones.

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 2 has a battery life of 5+ days. Battery life and charge cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.

To charge Versa 2:

1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, or a UL-certified USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.

2. Pinch the clip and place Versa 2 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 2.

Set up with your phone or tablet

Set up Versa 2 with the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. The Fitbit app is compatible with most popular phones and tablets. For more information, see fitbit.com/devices.

To get started:

1. Download the Fitbit app:

l Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads l Google Play Store for Android phones

2. Install the app, and open it.

l If you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account > tap the

Today tab > your profile picture > Set Up a Device.

l If 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 2 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.

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 playlists and apps from the Fitbit App 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.

For more information, see help.fitbit.com.

See your data in the Fitbit app

Sync Versa 2 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. For best results, keep all-day sync turned on, so that Versa 2 syncs periodically with the app. All-day sync is required for certain features on Versa 2, such as Amazon Alexa.

Unlock Fitbit Premium

Fitbit Premium helps you build healthy habits by offering tailored workouts, insights into how your behavior impacts your health, and personalized plans to help you reach your goals. The special edition of Versa 2 comes with a 3-month free trial of Fitbit Premium in certain countries.

Fitbit Premium includes:

l Detailed programs tailored to your health and fitness goals l Insights on your activity and progress throughout programs l Step-by-step workouts with Fitbit Coach

For more information, see help.fitbit.com.

Wear Versa 2

PlaceVersa 2 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size wristband, or if you purchased another wristband, see the instructions in "Change the wristband"

on page14.

Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise

When you're not exercising, wear Versa 2 a finger's width above your wristbone.

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

l During a workout, experiment with wearing the device higher on your wrist (2

finger widths) 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.

l Wear your Fitbit device on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the

device is in contact with your skin.

l Consider tightening your wristband before a workout and loosening it when

you’re done. The wristband should be snug but not constricting (a tight wristband 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 your profile picture >Versa 2 tile >Wrist >Dominant.

Change the wristband

Versa 2 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 on fitbit.com. For wristband measurements, see "Wristband size" on page64. All Versa series wristbands are compatible with all devices in the Fitbit Versa series.

Remove a wristband

1. Turn over Versa 2 and find the quick-release lever.

2. While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the wristband away from the watch to release it.

3. Repeat on the other side.

Attach a wristband

1. To attach a wristband, 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 wristband into place.

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