Sense battery suddenly depleting

[sharonrox]

I’m adding my name to those who suddenly have a depleting battery. On Saturday I had a full charge when I put it on. Sunday while I was sleeping, my battery drained to 0%. Charged up Monday, put it on mid-afternoon and drained down to approximately 20% less than 8 hours later. I charged overnight that night, put the Fitbit on at 6 am, and by 1 pm was down to about 40%. Charged again & put the watch back on around 9:30. As of 6:25 am, I’m down to 24%. I’ve factory reset this. I made sure notifications are off. I do not use anything on this that isn’t native to the Fitbit. I use a stock face. Removed all extra settings/features as shown in other posts to conserve battery life, but since this started suddenly and is drastically affecting my watch, this has to be update related. This device shouldn’t be draining that quickly without being on constantly or syncing all day long. I prefer Fitbit to Apple Watch, but if this doesn’t get resolved I’ll be reconsidering that.

Hi @sharonrox - unfortunately the watch is damaged (if it suddenly drains rapidly, possibly from getting moisture inside). Other than GPS there are no settings which will cause that sort of battery usage. If it is under warranty get it replaced.

As of about a month ago, mine also drains the battery pretty quick. The last time it would sync was 16 days ago. I have rebooted, paired,etc.  I have changed the display so it is no longer always on. The Sense will tell me time and steps for the day. It's now a dumb watch.

Hi @Dan319 - if your watch isn't damaged, syncing problems could be the cause of some extra battery drain.

Try fully charge your watch and turn off phone Bluetooth. See how long the battery lasts.
