Sense shows a white indicator when moving wrist

[lidzau]

when i raise my Sense to view the screen i now see a small white 'something' at the top of the screen which disappears after a second or two. it does not seem to do or be anything but i am intrigued to find out what it is. Any insights?

Hi @lidzau - Try turning off the status indicator [which was added in the latest version] in the watch Settings, Display, and see if it goes away.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks  Would love to know what it was trying to tell me tho'  Cheers Ian

@lidzau- Ian, thanks for the confirmation with best answer. Your input helps others.

There seems little documentation but the white dot might indicate the indicators are in the process of being checked. Presumably when the dot disappears all is in order, otherwise an indicator may appear. But that is just a guess.

Also I am guessing again but with indicators checking turned on it may adversely affect the battery, in various ways. If your watch is behaving well it is probably not necessary to have the processing turned on.

On A Sense it is sufficient to swipe the face right to check Sleep or Do not disturb mode and battery level.

The SimpleCheckUp app displays all sorts of watch details, when it last synced, if it is connecting to the phone well or to find the phone [if it's reachable].

Which can be done only if there is a suspected problem, so may save battery.

I think it means that the ‘do not disturb’ setting is on. Mine had it too and it went away when I turned that setting off.

This is the indicator that the Do Not Disturb function is turned on.

There are four status indicators on the Sense and Versa 3.  Fitbit describes them in this Help article.   They are:

• White circle with a dash — Do Not Disturb 
• Crescent moon — Sleep Mode
• Red battery — battery is critically low
• Mobile device with a slash — Bluetooth disconnected or just out of range 

The battery use is minimal.

This is the correct answer!
