I read thats its very water resistant as far as sweating/hand washing etc, any truth to this?

Also: SpO2….First why cant I see a real time value just like HR? Only while I sleep? There has to be a way to force it to take a reading on demand right?

Secondly, how accurate is it? Please don’t give me a general answer. I know its not a medical device. If it says my pulse ox was 93% while I was sleeping, is that anywhere near accurate?? Are these real values or not? If its not reliable why is it even an included feature?

Hi @kehilbatu if you get the Versa 3 wet, it's best to dry it as soon as possible. Care instructions. Sp02 was made to check it while sleeping. Don't believe there is a way to force it and if you found one, doubt the results would be right. more on Sp02. These are the community forums and we only know what is in the informational articles and sales information. To know if the readings were accurate, you'd need to ask your health care professional and to use their devices at the same time as your Fitbit, which would be a lot to do. Fitbit does test these devices and various features before we get them. Not sure you'll get any response that would completely answer your questions.

Hi @kehilbatu  - @Odyssey13  has given you good answers, but from experience would add that it is unlikely to suffer water damage from sweat or occasional splashing, but anything is possible.

If you are using an SpO2 clockface on this device to see SpO2, it isn't necessary as you have noted, and as it doesn't change all day and you can't get an on the spot reading, you can use any other clock face you may prefer or would be more useful to you instead.

The device automatically captures that information overnight without the SpO2 face and the information can be consulted in the app or on the watch while using any clock face that you may prefer.

As with many values provided by the watch, they are indicative, it at keast shows you are still alive! Lol

If you note exceptional values it's worth doing some further verification.
