Spo2 for Charge 3

[Yepitsfat]

When is Fitbit going to start providing the blood ox info in the app and why are they not already doing it. I have read dozens of posts related to this subject and it sounds like this capability and feature have been widely advertised and promised by Fitbit for almost two years but they still are not.

Welcome to the Community, @Yepitsfat.

I understand how are you feeling and appreciate your patience regarding this feature. At the moment, we don't have any update about it but once we do, we will more than glad to share it.

In the meantime, let me know if you need anything else.

Cnet just reported the following - is this a error on their part?

"

Fitbit has finally activated its blood oxygen monitoring feature on its Versa, Versa Lite, Versa 2, Ionic and Charge 3 wearables, after years of waiting, the company confirmed to CNET on Wednesday. While Apple still holds the largest smart watch market share, Fitbit (which Google has agreed to buy, in a deal expected to close this year) beat it to the punch with the release of the blood oxygen monitoring function. 

Fitbit users in the US on Wednesday started seeing blood oxygen saturation data appear in the app, Tizenhelp first reported. Sensors on the back of the devices give users an estimate of the variability of oxygen levels in their bloodstream. This information is useful for detecting variations in breathing while you sleep, which could indicate sleep apnea. "

The data it supplies on the app is useless. Nothing but a graph, no numbers no % to tell you what your spo2 levels are. Nothing more than you have either small variations or large variations in saturation. Considering your breathing slow when you sleep I would expect variations in the saturation levels. Your monitor is a joke. Tell me how I can turn this feature off since I don't want you collecting data on me that you are not sharing fully. Time to get rid of Fitbit and go with another tracker that at least gives me all my personal data.

i just recently got my first sleep oxygen variation report and was delighted to see that according to the vague report i got my oxygen levels show small variations.i have noticed though that my fitbit missed or does not track and record many of much of my sleep.due to the failure to get any info on aprox 50% of my sleep i find any info fitbit gives on personal health and fitness to be unreliable and most likely inaccurate

This article SPO2 readings can warn of COVID-19 infection should encourage Fitbit to enable the sensor promptly. 

it could save lives!!!
