How to know if my Sense is fully charged

[Shax88]

i find it weird when my watch is fully charged. Sometimes I saw in red color and sometimes is green. I just want to know if it is fully charged whether it is green or red? I just charged my watch, because I do not want to spoil my battery, I disconnected after 1 hour and 45 mins and it was still red. Please advise. Thanks

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but what I do is just swipe right (scroll left) to the quick settings screen that shows charge % at top.

Hello @Shax88 @JohnnyRow It's great to see you around! @JohnnyRow Thank you for your input! 

As @JohnnyRow mentioned, from the clock face, you can check the battery level after you swipe right, the battery level icon is at the top of the screen. Also once you sync your Sense, you can go to the Fitbit App, tap on your profile picture and next to the device image you will see a battery icon. It will also indicate the status of the battery. 

Keep me posted.

If you see red battery in the Fitbit app while its charging and its not synced recently its not telling you the actual charge but what it was when you last synced.

Sorry for describing the problem unclear. As my concern is when I was charging my sense and it display red color. Please find in attachment.

Most of the time it was red even 100% charging. Very seldom it is green and I couldn't capture the screen for u. What is this? Is it the battery notification like we see in other devices such as red still charging/ battery low and green is fully charged?

I tried to wait this time, but still in red color after 1 hour 45 mins.

While I was charging, it shows an icon like wifi not connected. But then when I saw my phone, the Bluetooth was connected and I tried to update my data in the watch, it worked. Hopefully I make you understand. I have taken a pic but it is very blur maybe to make you understand more. 

it really didn't display whether is fully charged, only swipe right and display the 100% battery without the electricity icon as below.

Hopefully you can answer my question. Thank you

@Shax88   I just charged my Sense.  At start it was 20% charge with red circles around charge display.  At some point, guessing 25%, it changed to orange circles.  Then it changed to green, I think at 50% charge.

As @JohnnyRow says, the colours just correspond to the charging progress. It does say the charge percentage in the middle of the ring, I would just go by that.

You could try a different solution with the clock face SimpleClockDuo. That clock tells you permanently, if you want, the percentage so far and when its expected to be fully charged. It keeps a log of charges as well, to look back on.

For me very seldom I could see green circle even is 100% charge. Shall I charge it for 2 hours and see what happen?

@Shax88 

No, stop at 100%, its not necessary to overcharge it.

A Sense rarely needs more than an hour to charge anyway.

Or use a different clock face.

Thanks.. I have the watch face and it is very useful. Thanks again

I still have the same problem again after my last post. After the last update from Fitbit (before google announced taken over), the first few charges it given me 6 days, the rest was 5 days only. If you want to be exact, right after google has announced taken over, my battery started to decrease from 6 to 5 days. Normally it will be 47% after 72 hours and right now at this moment it is only given me 37% in 74 hours. I will never accept on the battery usage. I am using simpleclockduo right now maybe it consumed much more battery than before.  Before this, I was using  the most simple clock face ‘dayring’. I am well taken for my watch. I never use it for gps and stay in standby mode for 14 hours and the battery performance is decreasing. Any new update is coming up so that I can use it for 6 days again or any solutions? Or. Maybe reset it? If reset, do give me guidelines as I do not know how to reset. Waiting for your answer desperately.

The issues you are having seem normal -

Clockface SimpleClockDuo tells you when it will be charged and shows progress.

Its an efficient clock face because of the dark theme and the best you will get.

The SpO2 tracker app [installed with a firmware update] reduces normal battery usage from 6+ day to 4+ days

Use of other features on the watch may reduce the 4+ days to even less see this help
