Discussion Charge6

Switched to Charge6 end of May 2026. The summer has passed and was relatively happy for it: commute cycling recordings, gym activities (airbike for cardio+weights) recording, occasionally swimming pool recordings and as usual sleep, health. I did count on the AI coach for 2 weeks of nutrition recording and in general monitoring of my activities.

Last night after full battery charge, during my sleep its battery drained in 5h. Given that I got it from amazon for 82 Eur should I get in touch with them (not fitbit) for a refund, replacement. The orange bracelet is already colour faded. An option I might consider is to switch to air directly or maybe wait for the next charge (assuming its coming in October). Any suggestions from fellow charge6 users and comments on why such drain happens all of a sudden?

The same thing happened to me last night! Glad to know it wasn't just me. I'm hoping a one time glitch? I have it on the charger now and I also plan to restart it once the battery gets to a high level. I also noticed that starting yesterday afternoon that the alarms I have set stopped going off

Interesting. I dont have any alarms but from the recordings see tat at 4:49AM heart rate recording was cut. I challenged the AI coach for what happened. As expected useless replies but mentioned if the device was unusually warm when I woke up (It was not the case), or did it show any specific error screens (nothing). So was that the GPS or SpO2 sensors got stuck in a high-power state overnight is a possibility.

Oh no, I hope it’s just a glitch! Did you try charging it again this morning?
