Battery life dropping off quickly

[SunsetRunner]

Is anyone else already noticing that the battery life near the end battery now drops off quickly? I wait until the last second to charge to keep battery life but went to bed with 13% and it died during the night (7 hours). I plugged it in and with a couple minutes showed 8% battery. Those tend to be warning signs to me but has anyone else noticed that?

Hey there @SunsetRunner! Mine has been lasting a week or so. Keep in mind that the length of time your Fitbit device operates on a full charge depends on how frequently you use it and various settings. 

Consider these tips when you want to conserve battery life:

• Make sure you're charging Ionic fully each time. It can take up to 2 hours to charge your watch. 
• Turn off All-Day Sync in the Fitbit app because it increases battery drain on both your watch and phone. Note that if you turn off All-Day Sync, certain apps including Weather won't work since data isn't being sent from the Fitbit app to your watch:
  
  1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon > your device image.
  2. Find the option to turn off All-Day Sync.
• Turn off the option to wake the screen when you turn your wrist; instead, tap the screen to turn it on:
  • On your watch, swipe right to the shortcuts screen > Screen Wake > Manual.
• If you don't need heart rate data, change the Heart Rate setting to Off. Note that the green LED continues to flash even if Heart Rate is turned off.
• Turn off call, text, calendar, and app notifications if you know you're going to receive many hundreds of notifications. A large volume reduces battery life:
  • On your watch, swipe right to the shortcuts screen > Notifications > Off.
• Charge your watch more often if you play music, exercise with GPS, complete Fitbit Coach workouts, or use the music controls frequently.
• Don't receive reminders to move every hour. To get fewer reminders, make sure you walk 250 steps each hour, change the number of hours you want your stationary time monitored, or turn off the feature on days you don't need it.
• If you have many silent alarms set, consider deleting some. Each alarm you add up to the maximum of 8 reduces battery life by a small percentage. 
• Shut down Ionic when it's not in use. 

Hope this helps, keep me in the loop!

13% during the night when I do not receive notifications and am not performing any actions whatsoever seems like a lot. Assuming a 4 day battery life means 25% per day so it seems as though 13% should be at least 12 hours. I’m just asking the rest of the community if they’ve noticed this as well since I’m concerned that it is going to keep dropping off quickly.

As a side comment to your “fixes” - what’s the status on the glitches around the watch crashing during workouts (has happened to me twice) and the watch not turning on when you turn your wrist without having to violently whip your arm up to get it to work?
