Hello
My Sense keeps telling me its charging slowly, and thats ok. I do not care about that, its fine. It works properly when i clean it, but i dont want to clean it every day.
However it does a little vibration every time it shoes the slowly charging message and it is driving me insane! It constantly distracts me and i do not like it, not even one bit.
Thank you! ❤️

Hi@Dweep - you can't disable the vibration [it will probably override the watch do not disturb setting] so the only option is to fix the problem.
One option is to charge it only every 5 days when you are not around.
Another is to clean it properly How do I clean my Fitbit device? especially in the holes and the charge contacts.
Another is to try a different power source, such as a computer.
Some charge cables are or become faulty so acquiring another cable my improve things. I have a non Fitbit one which seems a bit more robust.
You may still get the error when it gets to around 50% charge as wifi is enabled and that draws more current temporarily.
The point is if the charging is going correctly you won't get the message or the vibration.
Too minimize the annoyance, place on a soft surface and set vibration to normal in Settings.

@Dweep - A tip to try to cure slow charging messages.
What seems to help the most is to restart the watch before charging [a good idea anyway to get a fresh OS working ] .
Head to the watch Settings, at the bottom, Shutdown. Wait at least 10 seconds before placing on the charger to restart and charge it.

One day i hope to be able to customize this warning, but until then I'll try what you suggest.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it a lot! Your replies are thoughtful and well written. It was nice to see them ❤️

This is all utterly b*****s. I’ve tried EVERYTHING SUGGESTED IN THESE FORUMS AND NOTHING CURES THE CHARGING ISSUE. ITS A WATCH PROBLEM AND FITBIT NEED TO PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT FROM THEIR BACKSIDES TO FIX THE ISSUE! If it’s not fixed very soon I’ll be sending my Sense back for a REFUND and I’ll be moving over to either Apple or Samsung where those watches actually work properly!

Hi @Dweep - don't know if you found a solution to Slow charging and vibrations but this could potentially work.
Switch to the SimpleClockPro clock face and put the watch on charge - it will tell you by when it will be fully charged.
Swipe left and click watch Settings, and at the bottom Click Shutdown and Yes.
When the fully charged time is reached come back and hold the watch button for a few seconds and it will start, then switch to your preferred clock face.
If should avoid all messages and vibrations during charging.
