My replacement Sense has the same problem as the first one.  Every third day I get the low battery notice. I charged it on Monday and today Wednesday the notice popped up. Getting frustrated.

Hi there, @quietlymknnoise. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Sense. I understand how you must be feeling. 

Are you using Snore Detection? If so, please note that the Snore Detection feature does impact your device’s battery, so we recommend charging your device to at least 40% before going to bed. For more information, see How can I use my Fitbit device to detect snoring and noise levels while I sleep? 

However, I'd like to share with you that the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used in general. Because you're using an Always-On Display clock face, I'd recommend changing the clock face to another one made by Fitbit and monitor your it's behavior in the next day. Additionally, try turning off this setting by opening the Settings app on your watch > Display > Always-on display.

Think it's the nature of the beast unfortunately.

 

Mine is exactly the same, if I charge it on a Friday, the battery is down to the bare bones by the time I wake up on a Monday morning

I wish mine still lasted 3 days! Now it won't even last a full day. It died sometime in the middle of the night last night, so charged it to 100% this morning and by this evening had the low battery warning. Deleted all apps (only had Fitbit apps and clock on it) and turned off all features to see if that will help but it defeats the purpose of this watch. Why spend $200+ on a "smart" watch that you can't use any of the features on? Fitbit quality has gone downhill fast over the last couple of models. Sadly, I think this will be the last Fitbit watch I own. Going to try a different brand that hopefully works as advertised and the battery lasts longer than a day...
