Sense low battery indicator

[smurphette19]

My Charge 3 used to give me a visual warning when battery was getting low but my Sense doesn’t seem to and I’ve got caught with it running out of power in middle of exercise or sleep and I miss data.  Any setting I’m missing?  It is frustrating.

I have my vibration on my Sense set to "light" and I can still feel it all the time. I set it to Strong and it's really strong. 
More than this, even if it is on low battery (less than 20%) the watch continues to vibrate for other events (mails, messages, Hourly steps, etc), so it is possible to vibrate even under 20% and I still can feel it. I assume that it's  more like a software problem than a hardware one. 
If you did the tests maybe you can detail a bit your tests and results. 
Thanks.

@Idontneedaname  - the confirmation was that the watch face vibrates down to about 5% and does so from 17% at every 1% change.

How intensely your watch vibrates or whether you feel it, relates to your watch and your sensitivity and how you wear it perhaps.

On my Sense it's virtually useless most of the time if I'm doing something. (too weak even on the Strong setting) 

Many others report a problem with poor vibration on a Sense, but on an original Versa it works well.

This feature doesn't work for me. I can feel the vibration from other types of warnings (hourly steps, message, etc) even under 20% but I receive nothing regarding battery. No vibration, no alarm, nothing. 
More than this, my watch has a problem in estimating the battery. For example will stay around 40% for a day, and in the next morning I find him closed, or with 5%. Maybe these problems are related.

@Idontneedaname It's good to see you again. @Guy_ Thanks for sharing your insights.

@Idontneedaname Thanks for sharing more details about your Sense, and your efforts while working on this. About your initial inquiry and if you haven't done so, please vote for the request shared before. That's the best way to make your voice heard, and for our developers to track those new ideas over time.

That being said, you also mentioned that the battery seems to be draining. Please know the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used such as Snore Detect, GPS and SpO2 tracker or Always-On Display. I'd recommend following the tips described in this help article and get in touch with our Support team if the issue persists. They're available via chat and phone, just click here to get connected with them.

See you around.

Feature works for me. 
Purposely let battery level drop below 17% and started monitoring vibrations and clock face activation.

Just like Guy stated, when using SimpleClockPro the watch vibrated, face illuminated, and battery % flashed (at 17% and every 1% reduction).
