How do I track SpO2 readings on Charge 5?

[Bill-C]

Will Charge 5 have actual SPO2 % readings or just relative like the 3 and 4

Will there be an on demand SPO2 check available or just monitoring while sleeping.

Charge 5 specs are a little vague on this feature

thank you for your responses

I would say it will be the same as the Versa and the Sense. Just sleep. Constant monitoring would kill the battery.

Hey gang, 

What's the deal on SPO2... are you able to measure during the day and view on device screen?  I can only see it in the Metrics dashboard in the App and only for the previous nights sleep.  Thanks

It will only record/reflect SPO2 from the prior night.  There is no on-demand reading or daytime stat.

 Hi all, is it possible on versa 3 o charge 5 do a  misure of the SpO2 on demande (manually), or they misure it only during night automatically? 

Thanks

Fitbit devices can measure SpO2 only during sleep.

Hello @Sammy16cam 

Here is how to see the tracked SPO2

TRACK YOUR SPO2 TRENDS IN THE FITBIT APP

See your SpO2 trends in the Health Metrics tile in the Fitbit app on your phone. The Health Metrics tile is available with Fitbit Charge 4, Fitbit Charge 5, Fitbit Luxe, Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Versa 2, and Fitbit Versa 3. To see historical data, upgrade to Fitbit Premium. For other devices, a Fitbit Premium subscription is required to see health metrics data.

1. Wear your device for at least a full day, including to sleep at night.
2. In the morning, open the Fitbit app and tap the Health Metrics tile.
3. Swipe up to find the Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) tile.

In general, the Charge 5 track the SPO2 during your sleep and shows an average the next morning. If you have Premium, you can also see a graph of the SPO2 relative variation.

Why can we not have SP02 on demand? Only while sleeping? I want to check before and after a stair climb. Why have a sensor I cannot access... Please update. TY...

Hello @tyleristics 

That sounds like a great idea.  You could add a vote to these suggestions in the Feature Suggestions area:

Check SpO2 Anytime 

Instant Access to Sensors 

Or even make one specific to the Charge 5.  You could do that from here:

Feature Suggestions For Trackers 

The Feature Suggestions forums are checked regularly so your vote and your voice could make a difference.

Hi everyone, and welcome to our new members.

I've moved some of your posts to this thread to keep the forums organized. As you may know, the Charge 5 can track your SpO2 data during sleep in select countries. Wear your tracker securely so that the back of your device is in contact with your skin. Once you're awake, swipe up from the clock face to see your data. Make sure to sync with the Fitbit app to check your trends in the Health Metrics tile.

Please note it may take around an hour for your SpO2 values to appear after you wake up. If you haven't done so, check this help article to learn more about this feature.

Hope this helps.
