Really Annoyed that my Sense Battery barely lasts a Day of charge. I have removed every additional App I can and any clockface that not a default. I don't know what else I could do to stop the battery from draining so incredibly fast other than turn it off... which kinda defeats the purpose. 

 

I pay for a premium subscription as well and I'm definitely not getting what I paid/pay for. I am so very disappointed and have a really hard time not telling people to NOT buy this product and go get a samsung or apple watch. 

 

So disappointed.

If you have Snore Detection turned on, that is a big battery drain, perhaps best used just for a night or 2 at a time.

Turn it off under Sleep tile, gear icon.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

If snoring detection is active, it will drain your battery in 2/3 days. On average, snoring detection spends 15 to 20% of battery life.

I recommend you disable this function if this is too much. Or you can use it on alternate days or alternate weeks.

Could be it's defective. If it's still under warranty I'd contact Fitbit support.

Excuse me for wasting your time, and mine.  Although you are obviously aware enough to have considered that, you might be surprised to know that there are actually some Fitbit users who might say they have turned everything off, but have overlooked something.  But I now realize you are well above doing something like that.
