Hello,

 

I currently sync the sense with an Android device but have noticed I get about a day to 2 days on a single charge of the Fitbit sense. I only got the device about a week ago and it has been pretty consistent with this battery life. Looking for any suggestions that could be causing the issue.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Chase92 -  have a look elsewhere in the forums, as others are experiencing the same issue since the last firmware update for Sense and Versa 3.

You can see some ideas in Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life? but short of disabling many of the features such as Snore detection, removing the SpO2 tracker app and clock faces there is not much else you can do at the moment.

Seconded to Guy feedback. I had disable permission to run in the background for eg.. ecg, some of the clock faces require this.. and I either don't use that clock face or disable that particular settings.

As @James.P  says, some clock faces make regular access to the internet, it is probably better to use an autonomous clock face that doesn't need regular contact with the phone.

There are probably plenty in the Gallery, such as SimpleClocckPro which shows all the main statistics on the watch without needing a phone for some services. Then sync with the phone only when you want to record all the information from the watch.

The weather App requires to get it's information, it may help to temporarily refuse it's permissions [in the Fitbit App] just in case it is making regular contact and see if that improves battery life a little. .

Hello @Chase92, This issue is mostly related to the clockface your using as some of them can quickly drain out your battery. All the clockfaces that I use usually give me about 5-6 days. I have made some of my clockfaces (both paid and free), that don't inhale your battery. If those clockfaces don't help then it could be the device itself. Contact Fitbit support here.
