Allow developers access to SpO2 data

I noticed that Fitbit will soon be releasing a clock face that displays SpO2 data.

 

https://9to5google.com/2020/09/07/fitbit-spo2-face/

 

I asked the developer of the clock face that I use (Colors by Reno Watch) if he could add an SpO2 display to Colors. He said he would like to do that but Fitbit currently does not allows developers access to that data. Now that Fitbit is releasing its own clock face with SpO2 I can see no reason why developers should be blocked from doing this. So could you please make SpO2 available to them. It seems like this would be a win for Fitbit, developers, and users.

Thanks for the feedback. I would also personally love for this data to be made available for all developers, but there is a complex system of regulations and legal constraints surrounding the use of this type of data, and those rules even vary by country, so it's not as simple as just exposing an API at this time.

I assume Garmin got better lawyers , it's in their SDK... Joke aside, it's really sad devs cannot access to the data.
