Hi @Waters2688 - unfortunately this can happen especially if it gets wet and moisture gets in.
The seals aren't so robust and can detiorate over time depending on how the watch has been used.
You may still be able to find another Sense or replace with a later model which won't have all the features of the Sense or the same operating mode. They don't support any apps you currently use and not all clock faces are available.
If you live in the EEA you won't be able to install any non Fitbit stuff from the Gallery without using a VPN.
At this point it is still a good idea to make a note of the names of any clocks or apps and any special watch or app settings you use before replacement.
If by chance it is under warranty still contact support for a free replacement.

Thanks Guy, super helpful and makes sense. It's probably 18 months old and I wear it everyday and train with it on as well. I live in South Florida so I'm pretty much sweating most of the time. My previous fitbit's lasted longer than this but I used to live in a much cooler climate lol!
