@CD73   I have a different perspective from @DavideFitbit on worldwide availability of SpO2 monitoring.  The Fitbit user manuals lists the SpO2 as a regulated feature, meaning medically regulated.  Fitbit could release it in the US after it was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration.  I believe that the SpO2 needs to be approved by the Turkish equivalent of the FDA.  I believe it is Turkey's decision, not Fitbit's.

Hi, welcome to the Community forums, @CD73

 

Thank you for your inquiry about the new Charge 5. 

 

As you mentioned earlier, this feature is not available for the moment in the Turkey. You can find the list of countries where this feature is available here

 

I noticed a few ideas in the forums about adding SpO2 for some countries, but I didn't one posted specifically for Turkey. I would recommend that you post this idea in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community, since this section is regularly monitored by the team of developers. Make sure to post your idea including as many details as possible. 

 

Have a great day.

"Breathing rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature variation and SpO2 are available with Ionic, Versa family and Sense devices only." They have forgotten to add Charge 5 to the list of supported devices.
