Sense 2 short battery life

[pawley]

I upgraded to the sense 2 because I got tired of having to charge my blaze too much. The ad said up to6+ days. Got it on June 1st charged it fully, on June 3rd down to 30%, charged again. Today, June 5th, it needs to be charged again 30%.Does that mean if you use some of the features they are promoting in the ads it really is only  2 days not 6+?

Not happy about that.

Hi @pawley - the watch has an onboard GPS which has a 5 hours max rating (though in practice it may be slightly longer) and if you use it for outdoor exercises it may consume the battery a lot.

Check at what point in the day or night the battery level falls the most to get a better idea what is using the battery.

Also if you use Always On or a less efficient clock face that will drain more but you should be able to get around 6 days without GPS which can be turned off before starting an exercise in the options.

Syncing issues have been known to drain the battery so test a day without Bluetooth on (when you are syncing manually turn it on then turn it off)

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @pawley. I'm sorry to hear that your Sense 2 battery drains fast.

Please take into consideration @Guy_'s comments and advise from help article: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?
