Battery icon is flickering on my Sense

[Hardlove_33]

Why is the battery life/percentage icon flicking?

Hi @Hardlove_33  - in what place do you see this, as battery level shows in different places.

For instance if you swipe the watch face to the right to get to Quick Settings does the level flicker?

Here are some options.

Try swiping the watch face to the left and tap on settings then press the button to return to the clock face and see if it helps.

You can also restart the watch by holding the button for 10 seconds till it vibrates and the logo appears

Or change the clock face from the Fitbit Gallery tile.

 the battery percentage is flicking & it runs the battery down. Do know how I can fix this?

@Hardlove_33 - thanks for the photo, did a watch restart help?

The battery level should be a solid display but if the value is changing rapidly there could be a watch fault.

Try changing the clock face in case it is the culprit but rapid battery drain is usually associated with something like water damage.

If it gets hot while charging stop immediately as it is dangerous and confirms watch damage.
