Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse oximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness.

NOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (Customizing the Glances).
  1. While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance.
  2. Select the glance to begin the reading.
  3. Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.
  4. Keep still.

    The watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and heart rate values since midnight.
