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.

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.

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.

Finger-width away form hand example diagram

For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:

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.

Two fingers-width away from hand

Wear your Fitbit device on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device is in contact with your skin.
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 65. All Versa series wristbands are compatible with all devices in the Fitbit Versa series.

Remove a wristband

Turn over Versa 2 and find the quick-release lever.
While pressing the quick-release lever inward, gently pull the wristband away from the watch to release it.
