When will the Spo2 sensor will be available?

[Coachalan]

Has there been any update when the spo2 sensor will be available for use. It was the only reason I chose this watch over the others I was looking to buy.

I've been fingerclipped numerous times, not once with a reminder to keep my
hand lower than my heart but which I naturally tend to do. Of course, when
sleeping or walking, etc., my wrist is usually lower than my heart. Even
now as I type. But since it only works when I'm sleeping (and the watch
thinks I'm sleeping, I end up with a chart about once every 2 or 3 weeks,
since most of the time I sleep it thinks I'm wide awake.

I finally have it on my Fitbit that is attached to my iPhone

It looks like this SPO2 sensor is killing my battery as it randomly comes on, stays on until the battery is depleted which is at best a few hours from fully charged. It also turns off the pulse reading, ie no green led light and can on occasion have both green and red light on and a pulse rate of well above 120!

Red and infrared are SPO2, green is pulse. Your watch may be toast, or
maybe some things need to be reset. Which one, how long have you had it,
do you get O2 EOV graph in sleep?

A question to any Fitbit representative here;

I've been waiting for VIABLE SPO2 data since I bought mine 2 years ago.  I read the cooky relative O2 graph and I can't even tell what time an event occurred, let alone what my SPO2 actually was at the time, so it's impossible for me to get any viable use out of that cockamany chart.  I can't tell if a variance is real, let alone what it was, so I can't figure out if I'm having issues with apnea or something else.

For once, please tell us why you refuse to release such a critical feature and data?  It's just as important as heart rate.  I'm not looking for a diagnosis but to have enough SPO2 data so it's worth reporting to my doctors, or to see a possibility that I might have a dangerous condition that might need urgent attention.  So again, why won't you let us have viable access to this data and the readings in real time?

I have finally given up with my ionic.  Bought a different brand with all the bells on; including spo2 monitoring, make and take calls and a 2 week plus battery life between charges.  It even has a payment method on it that works in the UK without any hassle.  

[pbug56]

That reminds us that it's doable. Expensive? Probably. Challenging?
Same. By not doing it they are saying that they don't take us or future
customers seriously. Being behind every leading player in the field will
eventually destroy the brand even if Google takes over.

[AllanMitchell]

It was actually cheaper than my fitbit Ionic.  4 gig memory too.

Which one is that?

Does this Curve card work in the US also? That was one of my main reasons for purchase also.
