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?

This spo2 recording. Why is this only working at night??
I want to figure out how my o2 level are while Im awake...
I want the spo2 to show during daytime. Not just during the night. What it shows during the night is not so relevant for me, and The spo2 meter is kind of a gadget, the things that we guys like you know.

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see Sp02 details at anytime on Fitbit smartwatches. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Agreed with all the requests. Please add this function.

SP02 is not continuous monitoring. One should measure as and when one would like to . So I recommend that it should be available by pressing any one of the 3 buttons provided and then return to normal clock screen.

Please provide the ability to check temperature and SPO2 manually. All users want this.

I would like to be able to measure my SPO2 throughout the day, but especially during exercise. I have asthma and I can really get my heart rate up during aerobic activity. I would like to see my oxygenation to be sure that a low oxygen saturation isn’t adversely affecting my heart. Any chance that is something you will be working on?

Chance your cloak face to SP02 and you will get SP03 Status all the time

How can I change my cloack to SP02 with my charge 3?

It would be nice if the SO2 was measured all day. I like to see my oxygen level when I exercise. The Fitbit Versa does this. Please add to next update.

Not exactly true. I’m just looking at the same SPO2 taken overnight. At
least that is what I read from the documentation.

Only thing stopping me from buying Sense is not having on-demand Spo2 reading

Currently, the Sense shows a range of SPo2 readings, not specific readings for a given time. It would be helpful if the nighttime graph showed specific readings throughout the night ... and also allowed the user to check a reading at a given time.

Full SPO2 needs to be activated on Charge 4 with capability to get a SPO2 percentage reading on demand

This feature is a bit of a misrepresentation, why make it look like this is being tracked when in fact it isn’t. This stat changed over the day on my Versa 2 was this a lie too?
I really don’t know why I upgraded.

I had gotten my mom the Apple Watch Series 6 and their SpO2 App monitors your levels during the day/night and you can also do a spot check. I love my Sense, but having a dedicated app for the SpO2 would be nice to see reading during the day/spot check when ever I want to see.

With so many people commenting on this and wanting on demand Oxygen levels,
it is time for Fitbit to get busy and do an update. If cheaper brands can
provide the readings, makes me wonder why Fitbit does not.

On demand SPO2 readings are a must have in 2020/21. Please add this as many other smartwatches (including the apple watch) support this feature. A specific add (similar to ecg and eda) would be great!

I think Fitbit needs to move some people from the Versa team on the Sense team. Frankly I am very unhappy with my Sense and have been on the verge of returning it. I am trying to get use to it but I as much happier with my old Versa 2. As an example my old Versa only logged floors when I was actively going up stairs, the Sense logs floors when you go up in a elevator as a result I am getting bogus readings for floors. The Sp02 seemed to change through the day on the Versa and we only get overnight readings on the Sense. My recommendation for buyers buy a versa or apple don't waist your $$ with the Sense. Had I not had 7 years history with the Fitbit app I think it is time to migrate to the Apple universe. I have resisted having been a android person for all these years but Apple is starting to make more “sense”.

Wow. That is some lame of the fitbit team. So they kind of downgraded the watch (Sense) compared to the Versa? 🙄
 
Ive also been having trouble with the stairs and the floors.
 
This spo2 reading should really be fixed fast. So many people are upset with this feature...
