Even on Strongest setting I can barely feel the notifications vibration. I just switched from Versa 2 which had great strength for notifications. I hope this is something fitbit is looking into fixing. Also my charge only lasts about 3 days. I switched from versa after reading the long battery charge. So far I'd wish I'd stayed with Versa.

Hi @DLS1262 I am sorry you are having second thoughts. Personally I don't have any difficulty with the vibration really. I may overlook it if I am engrossed in something but I generally feel it fine on the highest setting. I think the other settings are a bit weak though.
With the battery life, mine lasts for days, but I don't have any of the fancy stuff turned on and don't get many notifications. Animated clock faces or always on faces I classify as 'fancy' too. I like always on but it does cut into the battery life. Try turning anything fancy off and see how long the battery lasts then.

Hi @DLS1262 - you will certainly notice how weak the vibration is on the strongest setting when coming from a Versa 2, and it gets weaker as the battery level falls. There is no fix for that.
As regards battery duration the 2 biggest drainers are Snore detection [premium members] and SpO2 can use as much as 2 days each.
Look here to see what you can remove or change to make it last longer How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life. it should be possible to get around 6 days between charges even with notifications.
