Sense battery

[Chana0304]

I got it as a Christmas Gift and I love it, but I noticed that the battery last me maximum 2 days.  It is supposed to last at least a week.  I read if I have all the apps going battery won’t last that long, but I don’t.  Any help you can provide

I agree 100%. I am having the same problem. It last me less than my previous fitbit. Also is stop counting my step and heart heart when exercising and I have to stop and restart it.

Hi @Chana0304 - new features added in the recent updates, such as Snore detection, status indicators may account for the greater drain.

Have a look at the main battery drainers and eliminate any you don't need How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.

I understand but when the sense came out that was part of the upgrade. They should had accounted for the extra battery for those new fixtures. It seems like it was false advertising.

@G.Z.  - you have a point. But the advertisement clearly says SpO2 uses more battery [about 2 days, my estimate] .

The problem is since then the Sense now also has Snore detection [which also uses more battery, about 2 days, my estimate].

If the user chooses to use more features than was originally presented in the publicity is there actually an issue.

The publicity states the watch is capable of 6+ days, this is still true today, but not if you use every feature to the full all the time. My watch gets around 6 days between charges after over a year and half.
