Sense keeps saying "slow charging"

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

EVERY SINGLE TIME FROM GO,  I try to charge this watch I get a problem. 

 

Slow charging only use our cord...  I only have one cord. 

 

And don't tell me it's something that I'm doing.  You can only charge it one way. 

 

Don't tell me that it's dirty... I clean my fitbit everyday.  I'm not dirty.  

 

The plain and simple fact that this is a $300 piece of junk.  and stupidly I bought a second one. 

 

not even good for a paperweight.

Do you get that message with both cables? I eventually got a new cable on Amazon.

I've had the same issue since I received my Sense in March 2022. Slow charging message appeared every time I plugged it in, no matter what I did -- and took hours to fully charge. 

After my watch completely broke when taking it in the pool for less than 15 minutes (wasn't even swimming, just playing with my kiddo), I called Fitbit to get a replacement. Told them about the charging issue and he asked if all 4 prongs on the back were the same... can't believe I never noticed, but one of the charging prongs had sunk into the charger, therefore not making a solid connection. They immediately sent a new charger, along with a new watch face. 

It charges much better now, though I'm noticing one of the prongs is starting to sink into the charger again. I'll keep reporting this issue and Fitbit will have to keep sending a new charger, until they fix this. Can't imagine they don't know this is happening.

Yes.  My husband eventually got it to work by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol.  Which is ridiculous since I clorox it everyday. 

 

Today is the first time i've recharged it and same problem.

That's ridiculous, the plan is to keep sending new chargers.  What a waste.
