Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings

You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading on your watch at any time. The accuracy of these readings can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness.

  1. Wear the watch above your wrist bone.

    The watch should be snug but comfortable.

  2. Hold the touchscreen to view the menu.
  3. Select Heart stats symbol > Pulse oximeter symbol.
  4. Hold the arm wearing the watch at heart level while the watch reads your blood oxygen saturation.
  5. Keep still.

The watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage.

NOTE: You can turn on and view pulse oximeter sleep data in your Garmin Connect™ account (Turning On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking).
