Just review todays sleep stats, and was surprised by this:

Is there anyone else that has got the SpO2 working? 

[Jam1411]

Mine disappeared for a day or so, but it’s showing up again!

[Oliver1994]

I have not got it yet in uk 

[driver111]

The main feature I bought this for years ago and I still cant access it.. fitbit loves to keep their customers frustrated.

[Kellygrl73]

Same...I have been member for years and also pay premium, but dont have it.  I have an IONIC watch, hefty purchase price plus pay premium.....nada

[Mickiez]

And soon will be owned by Google.

[Kellygrl73]

Fitbit is being purchased by Google?

@Mickiez  Thanks for adding to my post.. Better reading... All the best for 2020.

While I'm still waiting in Australia for the Oxygen addin..

Hi there, can someone confirm if the ionic is having a blood oxygen monitoring with the latest update? 

According with the following information it should be working now.

@OscaraulI don't think the Ionic has the O2 sensor. At least, that was the case when I shopped for mine about a year ago. Some other Fitbit model had one, and there was no firmware support for it at that time even though the watch had been out for quite some time already.

[tonupkid]

@EdwardsWM  yes it has the sensor, its just never been added to the watch's functionality with software, but maybe its coming.

[SunsetRunner]

How is battery life for those that have the Sp02 enabled? 

[Bsqrd]

Great addition. Hope to use this to determine effectivity of my CPAP.  Will the raw data be available sometime in the future?

I do not have the Estimated Oxygen Variability graph active / available on my Ionic.

Is there any indication as to when it will be available in UK ?

[EdwardsWM]

Ah, ok. When I was shopping, the sensor was not listed, but it was for at least one other watch. Maybe it was an omission. The website now only lists sensors for the Ionic. Understandably, they don't mention the O2 sensor given that there is no software support for it. Seems they could have listed it with an asterisk.

If they ever get their act together, maybe they'll add support for it. Strange that they haven't done that already but have invested resources in other enhancements of questionable value.

[slbert]

@SunsetRunnerI've been watching the battery life in general and haven't seen any reduction in it since this has been enabled.

What is the latest on the Estimated Oxygen Variation graph rollout?  I am a premium user but not seeing the feature.  Fitbit Ionic, Firmware Version 27.70.7.14, Android version 9. 

[Kellygrl73]

Same here.

I am paying for Premium

I purchased an IONIC

My auto-tracking for exercise stopped working. . . . it shows I was active for 71 minutes in the active minutes section. . it shows my HR was elevated for a period of time (while I was exercising) and shows me as having ZERO minutes of exercise!

I don't have the estimated oxygen graph either.

I am extremely frustrated with Fitbit currently.  My auto tracker just stopped working & Fitbit is sending me nonsensical responses/automated replies that don't help at all, just infuriate me
