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

Hi, I assume by "actual O2 levels" you are referring to SpO2 which is SaO2 measurement determined by pulse oximetry. I would agree that a good percentage saturation number to tell your doctor would be useful to tell your doctor, however I suspect your doctor could measure it while you are there.
The novel feature of being able to graphically observe dramatic changes in relative O2 levels in a way to indicate that you have breathing interruptions seems totally unrelated to the magic number you seek. In fact, without medical tests for anemia (which affects blood gas measurements), the tightness of the band, external illumination, and numerous other factors there will be variations in absolute measurements making it unwise to depend on the single number you seek. The good news is that SpO2 is noninvasive so it is safer and more pleasant for someone than invasive methods of oxygen analysis.
It seems far from being garbage to me. I certainly look forward to see how useful this approach actually becomes. What a wonderful time we live in.

I was getting the oxygen variation graph on my versa 2, but it is no longer showing and previous graphs are gone. Any suggestions?

Support will not be able to help much because it's not rolled out formally. I know people here where able to get it to work again...

Thanks! I’ll look thru the forum and see what others have done or contact support.

The good news:
You can download your whole datafile (in your profile) in a .zip file, which I guess holds the whole data that fitbit has collected from you. Under it you'll find files named estimated_oxygen_variation-yyyy-mm-dd with all this data collected since the device purchase (in my case since 2018!). You can plot them in excel and see what I assume that will be included in the EOV graph that fitbit intends to roll out in 2020.
The bad news:
The number is a -100 to 100 figure which I assume just sets some variation below/above a 0 level of reference (whatever it might be). So,it seems to be useless as an absolute value of SPo2.
The worst news:
I correlated the numbers in this files with those from a pulseoximeter during the night, and I found NO correlation at all (even taking into account the the time seems to be GMT). So, I'm puzzled and with many doubts about this data
Hope it helps.

just download the app, the EOV chart appears at the bottom of the daily sleep summary, below the sleep stages graph. Mine reappeared after being gone a while.

I noticed the estimated oxygen variation (EOV) recently, but 2 days ago (with the recent update), the graph disappeared, instead, I got two locked services "sleeping Heart Rate" and "restlessness" which you can unlock by going premium! I wonder, is EOV is there under one of those locked services or was it retracted?

I'll just wait a week more to see if this data appear and if it is useful. If not I'll move to a VA4 from Garmin, though it is not the concept of tracker I actually want.

I think I might wait and see what Apple brings out later this year because they’ve been allowed to use the oxygen sensor this year
