5. How to Sync Your Watch
The easiest way to synchronize your Fitbit is to utilize the All-Day Sync feature. All-Day Sync periodically and automatically syncs your Fitbit's data with the Fitbit app throughout the course of the day, so long as your mobile device is in range.
To Automatically Sync
Open the Fitbit app.
After launching the app, the Fitbit app dashboard will appear. Tap the Account icon.
Then, select your Fitbit.
Ensure that the All-Day Sync toggle is in the ON position.
If you do not wish for automatic syncing to take place all day long, manual synchronization can be done from the same screen.
To Manually Sync
Tap Sync Now to begin a manual sync of your Fitbit to the app.
If you elect to turn off the All-Day Sync feature, Fitbit recommends that your device be synchronized at least once a day. Each time you open the Fitbit app, your device will sync automatically if it's nearby. Manual syncing can be performed at any time thereafter.
6. Charging and Powering Your Versa
Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer or a UL-certified USB wall charger.

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 check the battery level. Tap again to use Versa.
Once your Fitbit has charged you're ready to open the app and pair it with your mobile device.
