Off on holiday shortly and not taking any laptop with me so unsure how I can charge my Sense, bought for me at Xmas by my wife.  Need a 3 pin charger to charge it.  Would this spec be ok (don't want to stress the battery or electronics)?  Any recommendations?

 

Returned the first one as the battery lasted only about 2.5 days.  Fitbit recognised this as "defective" as I was running it in a very vanilla style and not using any particular features.  Replacement is err...exactly the same.... So I'll need to charge it quite a few times while I'm away for a fortnight.

Any USB charging head will work.

HI @octafish - your battery issues are unlikely to be a watch problem but more of the features selected and the way you use your watch -see the relevant factors How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life. 

 

As @DramaQueenDiva  says almost any charger source should do, though the more recent phone chargers may produce slow charging due to their ability to supply different voltages while negotiating the correct one.

Best to try any standard less sophisticated charger, I use a simple Ikea triple USB but even that may throw up the occasional problem.

 

Generally it could be a cleaning problem.

Thanks, very informative.  The problem is that I have followed all the battery 'hygiene' rules.  I shut down the snore reporting and there has been a slight improvement. Will see how that goes 3-4 days I could live with.
