Estimated Oxygen Variation

Why is this now available on only some Charge 3 and Versas?

>From what I understand (I get nothing) only the weirdly calculated guess
what it means results are there, not the raw data for SPO2.

Hi @Bdonovan, welcome to the community.

I have merged your post with the main thread discussing this feature. 

You will find the most up to date information in the best answer post (here).

How do we tell if we have the feature rolled out or not? I have the latest IOS app and Ionic v 70.7.14

It's useless. A message to you all: do not play to this' company game. The data has almost zero correlation coefficient compared too a clinical finger clip. I have analyzed dozens of sets and  that is my conclusion.

EOV and other SpO2 graphs based on a reflective figure-of-merit, are a piece of crap (I won't mention any other brands in this forum, but I have validated my conclusions with other ones too).

Forget about EOV if you are serious about your pulmonary  health (OSA,...). The graph is a toy that has no scientific support at all.

So the answer essentially is “call us in January 2021” if you still don’t have it. That’s not a transparent, customer friendly answer. Surely the intent is early this year before your customers begin to consider other products???  Please give us a tighter time frame and more details about the plan, ie why so gradual, why no opt-In feature for those who really want it badly, etc. 

[Rich_Laue]

@Gcozad no can do. 

Those that know a little more have signed NDA's

[MillieS]

Hi Rich_Laue - what’s an NDA?

[pbug56]

Non Disclosure Agreement

[MillieS]

Blimey thats heavy!!!  Thanks pbug56. 

Well I’m not a jogger, I’m a wheeler - an active wheelchair user knocking on 70.  My new Charge 3 EOV may not be scientifically accurate but it has revealed a general trend that

typically looks like this on the EOV graph now that I have it back thanks to the community - blessings to you all.

The initial consultations suggest pulmonary fibrosis and I’m putting this out there for Fitbit  et al to take note that this is life affecting stuff.  If Fitbit has the expertise to roll out the EOV graph and it isn’t scientifically accurate, then why not give it to everyone with the caveat suggesting the truth.  There’s nothing more powerful than the truth and judging by the responses to this thread, actually having the graph even with a caveat would make people a lot happier with your product.  

Finally, if I have the ear of the moderator, I didn’t get a welcome to the community from you as others have had and lastly, I’d like to know if there are settings for wheelchair users on the Charge 3.  Cheers!

I got the oxygen info for a week  and then it just stopped showing again 🤨

Do we know when we all get it again permenently? I miss it know 🙂

[MillieS]

Hi Camilla89  - The Wizards @Rich_Laue and @melthecat said to reboot everything and that worked for me.

[SunsetRunner]

When i received this versa 2 as a christmas gift my Estimated Oxygen Variation graph functioned well. Since January 15th, apparently my Spo2 either is damaged[or not working at all] There is no graph the- Estimated Oxygen Variation graph display. Money wasted. 

[SunsetRunner]

Dear Lisa. I received the versa 2 for Christmas and the spo2 sensor and the Estimated Oxygen Variation graph was working great, without a premium membership.  Then come about mid January, the spo2 and the Estimated Oxygen Variation graph feature no longer functioned. Has the watch stopped functioning or did fitbit remove  this funtion? Or must I now have a premium membership to receive this benefit?

[SunsetRunner]

Same here I purchased my charge 3 in December 2019 but I haven’t had the
EOV graph ever........Disappointed too

[Camilla89]

I have tried that, I will see tonight if it worked 🙂

[SunsetRunner]

Dear Camilla. Please keep me posted.

[SunsetRunner]

Dear Millie. I rebooted my watch. Nothing is working here. 

[Gcozad]

Understood with regard to the sale to Google. It will have to be officially sanctioned communication. That said forum users like me are hoping our concerns reach official ears. Also,

1. At some point it looks like something is being hidden.
2. Google’s purchase of Fitbit combined with perceived withheld features will spark concern amongst iPhone users as to where we stand as a non Android (Google) product.

[Rich_Laue]

@MillieS your question can easily be answered by Google. 

If you guys do a search, you will find a lot of groups and countries have questions on the Google - Fitbit users. 

[Camilla89]

I rebooted my watch yesterday and it worked tonight! Now i just hope it wont stop working again 😛 

Thanks Millies!
