Totally agree @Vibh_oreo  -- HRV would be great too.

@tansy49 there is no such app on charge 5 for now we are here requesting this feature from Fitbit developers and team

This function is essential. I bought a Sense and returned it because it could not display real-time oximetry, nor a graph of sleep oximetry. The datum that it does report, average sleep oxygen saturation, is worthless, offers false reassurance, and will miss significant sleep disordered breathing. The user should be able to see the full graph of sleep oximetry including the amount of time set below certain benchmarks such as below 90% and below 80%. Until you improve your software, this hardware is quite useless.

I agree with above comment, seeing a full graph of during the night, but I need it for improving my breathing and it would be helpful to have it displayed throughout the day.  I also  like the idea of having apps for seniors, or certain medical conditions.  I have asthma and need to know when my sats go down. and how long it takes to recover.

I am now only getting one number for SpO2 from each night. How do I get a
read out?--

I also think string a monitor to check your SpO2 levels throughout the day will be helpful. I would like to monitor the oxygen levels in my blood throughout the day and not just when sleeping at night. 
Hopefully this will be an update in the very near future (especially with covid to help people monitor)

Agree with all the above. Daytime HRV and spo2 readings would be fantastic.

I think this would be a great new feature

It is absolutely ridiculous that we even have to ask for this.

This would be a great feature! I currently have to use a separate monitor to get live SP02 so it would be great to get it in the watch

I, too, thought it was an app to measure SpO2 whenever you wanted to check it. I was so disappointed that it’s just for night.

Thank you all for your input.

Agree with all the above. Daytime HRV and spo2 readings would be fantastic.I see they offer this on the Amazfit GTS3. Would be great to have on my Versa3,  thank you, Don

I'm hopeful, but also very doubtful, that fitbit will ever add anytime read-outs of oxygen levels! I'm sure they've had more than enough positive feedback for it but haven't taken action yet. I'm waiting, and waiting, but more than likely will eventually move to an Apple Watch for this feature as well as ECG reads! I've lost faith in this company months ago. Not only for this feature but the training of their staff that's supposed to help and their honesty. Please fitbit be better. We paid for features and were misled with labeling.

I was astounded by the lack of useful apps and how much of the tracking is relatively out of your control. Not even any third party apps to help fill the gaps.

I bought this today because it was advertised as able to  read blood ox. What a waste of time because it doesn't read blood ox.  I don't care what my blood ox was last night. I want to know what it is right now.

Packaging it up and returning right now.

I too would be very interested in Daytime HRV & 

SP02 readings if available as need to watch my oxygen level & heart rate.

It would be great in Versa 2.

Here's hoping 🤞

Same here as just seeing it in the morning without variations during the day is not good. Additionally I’d like to see breathing variations during the night on a better chart that shows possibly hour that I might have had apnea event.

It was such a disappointment finding out how useless the HRV and SpO2 readings actually are. The HRV should be done through out the day and feed into the Readiness Score - which at current is also useless. It’s clearly marketed the way it is for a reason but it does falsely suggest a much better device. My Sense is a disappointment and I will switch to Garmin next time.

The ability to manually measure SP02 any time would be ideal. My fitbit doesn't record my sleep properly, so I don't even have night time readings.

I love most features of my Fitbit, but am considering switching back to Garmin as their products do have on demand SP02 readings.
