Battery

[Crazyladybug]

I don’t even have my watch face on it’s a tap to see time I can’t get 2 full days from it I feel like I’m changing it on the time I hate this watch. I wish I would have saved my last watch. Why is the battery so crappy? Please help

I’m also having this problem. I just upgraded to the Sense and the 6+ days battery life was a major factor in my choice. I’m not even getting 2 days from mine so am really disappointed. I see threads telling you to turn this that and the other off but what’s the point in having a fitness tracker that you have to turn all functions off to be able to have the battery last more than two days?  Hopefully there is a proper fix for this.

Hi @K8Talbot  - it's normal if you drive your car a maximum speed you won't get the quoted mileage.

Did you check which elements you don't actually need all the time in the post by @Clove6060 ?

Snore detection and SpO2 can use as much as 4 days battery over a charge.

As for snore and SpO2, that is 4 days worth of battery in one night. GPS during a run or walk will also use a lot of battery.

I have everything turned off and the watch still sucks battery. It’s just not the battery-it seems like everything on this watch sucks. I never had issues with the other Fitbits I had but this one is just junk. I thought wow 6 days of battery life that’s wonderful. It’s bull crap.

Ok @Crazyladybug but what do you have on? Do you use gps? Fitbit always recommends charging after gps is used.

I have nothing on everything is turned off and I tap to see the time it’s a piece of crap. People don’t but this watch!!!
