Basics
Learn how to manage Versa 2’s settings, set a personal PIN code, navigate the screen, and more.
Navigate Versa 2
Versa 2 has a color AMOLED touchscreen display and 1 button.
Navigate Versa 2 by tapping the screen, swiping side to side and up and down, or pressing the button. To preserve battery, the watch’s screen turns off when not in use, unless you turn on the always-on display setting. For more information, see “Adjust Always-On Display” on page 22.
Basic navigation
The home screen is the clock.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to see notifications and access the shortcuts to music controls, Fitbit Pay, and quick settings. The shortcuts disappear after 2 seconds. Swipe down to see them again.
- Swipe up to see your daily stats.
- Swipe left to see the apps on your watch.
- Press the button to go back to a previous screen or return to the clock face.
Button shortcuts
Press and hold the button on Versa 2 for a faster way to access certain features.
Choose a shortcut
- Hold the button for 2 seconds to activate Fitbit Pay, Alexa, music controls, notifications, or certain apps.
- The first time you use the button shortcut, you select which feature it activates. To later change which feature activates when you hold the button, open the Settings app on your watch and tap the Left Button option.
Quick settings
Swipe down from the top of your watch screen, and tap the quick settings icon to access certain settings.
Adjust settings
Manage basic settings in the Settings app
Tap a setting to adjust it. Swipe up to see the full list of settings.
Check battery level
Swipe down from the top of the screen. Wait 2 seconds for the control center to
disappear. The battery level icon is in the top left.
If your watch’s battery is low (less than 24 hours remaining), a red battery indicator
appears on the clock face. If your watch’s battery is critically low (less than 4 hours
remaining), the battery indicator flashes.
Wi-Fi won’t work on Versa 2 when the battery is 25% or less, and you’ll be unable to update your device.
Set up device lock
To help keep your watch secure, turn on device lock in the Fitbit app, which prompts you to enter a personal 4-digit PIN code to unlock your watch. If you set up Fitbit Pay to make contactless payments from your watch, device lock is turned on automatically and you’re required to set a code. If you don’t use Fitbit Pay, device lock is optional.
Turn on device lock or reset your PIN code in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture > Versa 2 tile > Device Lock.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
Adjust Always-On Display
Turn on Always-On Display to show the time on your watch, even when you’re not interacting with the screen. Many clock faces have their own Always-On Display mode. If a clock face doesn’t have this feature, you see the default Always-On Display clock face. On the default Always-On Display clock face, choose between an analog or digital clock face, whether to show the watch’s battery level and your progress toward 2 of your core stats.
To turn Always-On Display on or off, swipe down from the top of your watch and tap the quick settings icon > Always-On Display icon , or find Always-On Display in the Settings app.
Note that turning on this feature impacts your watch’s battery life. When Always-On Display is turned on, Versa 2 has a battery life of up to 3 days.
To adjust what’s shown on the screen when using the default Always-On Display clock face, or to set off-hours when Always-On Display automatically turns off, open the Settings app > Always-On Display > Customize.
Always-On Display automatically turns off when your watch’s battery is critically low.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.
Turn off the screen
To turn off Versa 2’s screen when not in use, briefly cover the watch face with your opposite hand, press the button, or turn your wrist away from your body.
Note that if you turn on the always-on display setting, the screen won’t turn off.
