Red LED at bottom: SpO2 Sensor - pre-release Testing?

[d_k]

First time i thought that my eyes were just tired, but just a few minutes ago i could clearly see a green and a red light coming from the center of the ionic bottom window.

Has anyone else noticed this?

As much as i know about SpO2 Sensors (which isn't much) is that they require RED and / (or?) IR light for their measurements.

Seeing that feature come alive would be SOOOO fitbit !!!

I've noticed this on both my Ionic and Versa. It happened straight after waking up. I also went to take a video of it and noticed there was also IR light being emitted too. Obviously this showed up on the video but was invisible to the naked eye.

Hi,

that would be wonderful!

Which version of firmware, Android-Fitbit-app and Option-app do you have?

Thanks.

[N8teGee]

Both are on the latest firmware version, 27.32.10.20 for the Ionic, I'm not sure what the Versa's is as I'm wearing the Ionic at the moment.

Oh.

Never seen the red LED.

Is there a picture available?

Here's the link to the video I took. It's not the clearest but it gives you an idea of what to look out for.

Edit--

Updated the link as YouTube removed the video, hopefully this will work for those interested.

Sorry but it's not a test in any way. The red led is used for sleep tracking in addition to the green one. At night the red light is showing up with the green light since red light is able to give better results regarding Heard rate measuring. So thats also the reason why you the see the fed light Right after waking up.

Hi,

I didn't see the red LED in the night nor after getting up.

Strange!

With clock face "Heart Beats" I see continued heart bearts and HRV from the last 30 minutes.  Also in the night!

But still problems with missing sleep stages,  since March.
