Okay so I've had the Versa in the past and decided to upgrade this year to the sense because it has even better heart tracking ( I have some cardiac issues, tachycardia being one and I like that my watch will let me know when my resting heart rate is too high) along with a lot of other wonderful features. My Versa 2 held a charge for at least 5 days. My brand new Sense cannot hold a full charge longer than 2 days, I primed the battery, have disengaged always on display and a few other battery draining options. Im using Android too, so if anyone has some ideas or solutions I'd greatly appreciate them. Its not a huge deal but I should be getting 4+ days and after having Versas I'm spoiled with only having to charge once a week. Other than the battery draining at a weirdly fast speed and therefore needing a frequent recharge, the Sense is definitely the way to go.

Hi @Njp83 -  the short battery life is a common problem at the moment, it didn't use to be like that but have a look at the various features and settings that use most battery, such as the SpO2 tracker app, and disable those you don't need. You should be able to get around 6 days.

How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.

Hi @Njp83 Which other options have you disabled. Is the screen brightness set for auto and not full bright? SpO2 as well as Snore detect has always been a big power Hog

I just got a Sense last week. Upgraded from my Ionic. Same issues with 2 day battery life. Just did an online chat through the help section and they are sending me a new watch as they realized something is wrong with this one.

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Im going to try a few other suggestions that others have made and see if it helps. What bothers me is that I opened this Christmas morning, followed the enclosed directions and charged fully. That charge held the longest, I feel like the amount of time between charges is already noticeably declining/shorter.
