I have the fitbit sense. On my versa 2, the always on function had a timer. The sense does not have a timer for the always on function. Why not? Isn't it a more advanced watch?

Are you talking about the having the display screen always on? 

 

ETA - sorry, I just absorbed the bit about the timer. I have no memory of that in the Versa 2, no idea if it exists in the Sense. Sorry.

Always on is exactly that, it is always on d lurring the day.. A period when a person sleeps can be setup. Then if Sleep mode is enabled the screen will turn off during this period of time. 

 

@Kathy174 I think you are asking about the screen timeout. It is found under settings - display - screen timeout - delay. 

Right above the Always On.

Hi Kathy,

 

I discovered that the Sense timer will do this if you either lower your wrist, or cover the screen, while the timer is visible. It will switch to a simpler always-on Timer view. Basically you need to keep the app on-screen all the time.

 

I'd really rather that it showed the timer on the clock face or something!
