- Tap the devices icon, then tap Gallery.
- Tap Weather, then tap Settings. This settings path is documented for Versa 2 along with Versa 4, Versa 3, Versa Lite, Sense 2, Sense, and original Versa.
- By default, the Weather app shows your current location. You cannot delete this location.

Viewing weather on your Versa 2
Open the Weather app on your watch to see your current location and its forecast. Swipe left to view any additional cities you added. The Versa 2 manual documents swiping left on the watch to see other locations you added. The weather information updates automatically after syncing, though it may take a few minutes for changes to appear.
Setting a fixed city instead of current location
If you prefer a specific city over your current location, you can lock the weather to that city. On an iPhone, open the Fitbit app, tap Phone connected devices at the top left, select your Versa 2, then go to Apps > Weather > Permissions and turn off Location. Return to Settings > Add City and manually choose your city. If you want a fixed city instead of current-location weather, the iPhone help page says to turn off Location in Apps > Weather > Permissions, then use Settings > Add City to pick the city manually. On Android, the path is similar: disable location permission for the Fitbit Weather app in your phone settings, then add a fixed city in the Weather settings. After syncing, the watch will show only your chosen city.
