Started using my new Fitbit Sense in January. At first I got 5 days of battery life. It has been steadily degrading down to 2 days. I looked up battery issues and one of them was the SPo2 watch face. I have used this one since the beginning, so am not sure why it suddenly a problem. I do use an iPhone, but my Fitbit app is the latest version, so hopefully the iPhone Fitbit issue has been fixed since 2021. I would like a watch face that displays the heart rate in a large format. Looking through the watch face options for the Sense, I do not see one. I think I had 4 or 5 options with my Versa. Is there a large format heart rate watch face for the Sense? I am about to return my Sense to Costco and go back to my old Versa if I cannot find an appropriate watch face.

This one looks simple and large enough for the heart rate.
In regards to your battery life, what are your other settings? I can get 4 whole days with these settings:
Brightness dim, screen wake motion and button, always-on display off, snore & noise detection off, SpO2 on.
The biggest battery drainers, especially overnight, are the snore & noise detection and SpO2, but more so the snore & noise. With it on, I lose around 20% over 7 hours of sleep. With that option off, I only lose around 6-8% over 7 hours of sleep. I had it on for over a week and I don't snore and noise is minimal so it wasn't worth the drain. If I turned off SpO2 I would definitely get 5-6 days. I keep that on because it's part of the health metrics.

I used the J4All and got 3 days of battery life. Snore detection seems to be a Premier feature so I could not turn it off as there did not seem to be an option for non Premier users.
Thank you for your response.

Thank you. I will try the Simply Heart Rate watch face.
