cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary. To charge
Versa 4:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the

align with the port on the back of your watch.
Charge Versa 4 for 12 minutes for 24 hours of battery life. While the watch
charges, tap the screen twice or press the button to turn the screen on.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours.
8

Wear Versa 4
Wear Versa 4 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band,
or if you purchased another band, see the instructions in “Change the band” on
page 15.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you’re not exercising, wear Versa 4 a finger’s width above your wrist
bone. In general, it’s always important to give your wrist a break on a
regular basis by removing your watch for around an hour after extended wear.
We recommend removing your watch while you shower. Although you can shower
while wearing your watch, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to
soaps, shampoos, and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your
watch and may cause skin irritation.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising: l During workouts, try
moving the band higher on your wrist to get a better fit. If you experience
any discomfort, loosen the band, and if it persists give your wrist a break by
taking it off.
12
l Wear your watch on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the device
is in contact with your skin.
Fasten the band
1. Place Versa 4 around your wrist. 2. Slide the bottom band through the
first loop in the top band.
3. Tighten the band until it fits comfortably, and press the peg through one
of the holes in the band. If you use one of the last two holes in the smaller
band, we recommend swapping to the larger band for a more secure fit. For
13
instructions, see “Change the band” on the facing page.
4. Slide the loose end of the band through the second loop until it lies flat
on your wrist. Make sure the band isn’t too tight. Wear the band loosely
enough that it can move back and forth on your wrist.
Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Versa 4 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 4 on your dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit
app:
From the Today tab
in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture
Wrist Dominant.
Versa 4 tile
14
Wear and care tips
l Clean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser. l If your
watch gets wet, remove and dry it completely after your activity. l Take your
watch off from time to time. l If you notice skin irritation, remove your
watch and contact customer support.
For more information, see fitbit.com/productcare. For more information, visit
the Fitbit Wear & Care page.
Change the band
Versa 4 comes with a small band attached and an additional large, bottom band
in the box. Both the top and bottom bands can be swapped with accessory bands,
sold separately on fitbit.com. For band measurements, see “Band size” on page
66. Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Sense 2, and Fitbit Versa 3 bands are compatible with
Versa 4.
Remove a band
1. Turn over Versa 4 and find the band latches.
2. To release the latch, slide the flat button toward the band.
15
3. Gently pull the band away from the watch to release it.
4. Repeat on the other side.

Troubleshooting
If Versa 4 isn’t working properly, see our troubleshooting steps below.
Heart-rate signal missing
Versa 4 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, 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 4 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 watch’s ability to connect to GPS
satellites. If your watch is searching for a GPS signal during an exercise,
you’ll see the GPS icon
rotating at the top of the screen.
63
For best results, wait for Versa 4 to find the signal before you start your
workout. If Versa 4 loses the GPS signal during your workout, the GPS icon
appears red . Your watch will attempt to reconnect.
For more information, see the related help article.
Other issues
If you experience any of the following issues, restart your watch: l Won’t
sync l Won’t respond to taps, swipes, or button press l Won’t track steps or
other data l Won’t show notifications
For instructions, see “Restart Versa 4” on page 61.
