Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2). As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is adjusting to high altitudes. During a flight, the watch automatically takes pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you can monitor your SpO2 percentage (Viewing Your SpO2 Readings in Flight).

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter widget (Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings). You can also turn on all-day readings (Turning On All-Day Pulse Oximeter Readings). When you view the pulse oximeter widget while you are not moving, your watch analyzes your oxygen saturation and your elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to your to elevation.

On the watch, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph. On your Garmin Connect™ account, you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days.
