Check SpO2 at anytime on supported Fitbit devices

The new Sp02 clock face is nice, but can you also add the ability to check Sp02/pulse ox at anytime during the day rather than just during sleep?

I didn't expect the issues I am facing with this device already and no on demand SpO2 is definitely a bummer.

I agree let’s that spO2 on-demand app must be allowed

I'm gutted. I only ordered my Sense for this feature. Now I find out it doesn't have it. What's the point of an SpO2 sensor if you can't get a reading from it?

@D8veh , I've bought Charge 3 with only that purpose 2 years ago and I still doesn't have it, man. What a shame, really.
So I don't have smart alerts, find my phone function, really disappointment

Yeah considering making a return as well just got it and the monitoring features I got it for just don’t work or aren’t released and may never release it seems. Sounds like competitors product will work better thanks.

Yes, purchasing Fitbit device was a big my mistake.
So sad that I've bought it in Russia with no moneyback option.

Already returned mine and got galaxy watch 3 and it feels premium. Screen
resolution is way better than sense, looks and UI every thing gives you a
feel of a true smart watch rather than just fitness tracker which is what I
felt with sense. For merely 40 more bucks galaxy watch3 offers alot

I’m very disappointed by how much Fitbit is lagging behind other fitness trackers, especially the cheap no name Chinese ones. Aren’t we supposed to lead in technology? How can you not offer real time Spo2?

100% add on demand Sp02 tracking, why the heck not??

Just make this an app! If I can buy a $25 SpO2 reader online and it can read my levels in under 30 seconds, the Fitbit Sense should be able to do the same thing at any moment I go into an app to turn on the SpO2 sensor. That is true SpO2 readings, on the spot, not just waiting while your sleeping to see your levels the next morning! Come on! That is not true on the spot health monitoring. Please, these are simple requests for you!

I agree with this request and in addition I would like, like many other users, to be able to take instantaneous oxygen saturation measurements, so I wish. After all, it is a key feature in most smartwatches of all major manufacturers, but even smaller companies. I'm sorry it has not been added to Fitbit 's new products.

Need real time oxygen levels during the day, not just during sleep levels.  Very disappointed that this more expensive piece of equipment does not support on demand oxygen levels, while cheaper watches do provide this feature.  This is a feature I would use multiple times on a daily basis.

I Dont understand why Fitbit doesn't have this feature as standard! A little disappointed with the features of this! I was initially going to get the Samsung active but decided to purchase the versa 3 because alot of reviewers saying it is a better fitness tracker! At the moment in having my doubts! Design is the only thing I really like at the moment!

I agree with being able to check my spO2 when wanted.

I've found the sp02 sensing very hit and miss. It works about half the time, and I have to wait till an hour or so after I get up in the mornings to get the reading. This is totally unacceptable!

I agree. Let's get a SpO2 readout on demand and have results saved to both App and online Dashboard ASAP

Yes please add this feature. Other companies are adding this feature or have already done so. This isn't new technology, the watch is already capable for sp02 readings. Also not only would adding spot checking be helpful but to just treat sp02 as a continuous reading like your heart rate would be even better.
Its one of the things that is preventing me from upgrading to a new watch like the sense is that the sp02 feature is so heavily underutilized in the fitbit lineup.

Guys, they don't really care about that, because I'm asking about this feature about 2 years.

Like most companies, they will pay attention if it starts to affect the bottom line. It's such an obvious upgrade I can't believe it's not already under development for future update.

i bought a sense and i'm really disapointred that i need to use a special watchface and sleep to have spO2 graph

 

More than 300 € and no real time spo2 ?  google not implemented yet ? it's a beta ?

And why on earth does it only work with one clock face?

I thought Sense had on demand SPO2 - I saw a couple of reviews (not on the Fitbit site) that said it did. That's the only reason I bought it.

 

Please add. Average over night is of very limited benefit. 

I agree. I bought my Fitbit for the same reason. Very disappointed!

I returned it. For what it does it is not worth the big price tag compared to the Charge 4.
