HRV and SPO2 accuracy on Sense?

ANSWERED

Just got Sense. The resting heart rate measurement seems accurate at rest, however I have concerns about the accuracy of the HRV and SPO2. For SPO2, I have a separate Pulse Oximeter. When compared, the Sense reading is always a bit lower. So far, the HRV result I've gotten is very low. Considering the averages for my age and my overall health, this seems very off, and I will be testing HRV on another device. Has anyone else noticed these issues?

Same here. If I have a very restless night and don't sleep very long I
don't get a reading.

I do not know as I am not medically knowledgeable. There is advice in
Fitbit on when you should consider consulting a doctor so go with that

Apparently the spo2 Fitbit is lower than an oximeter because it’s on your wrist and not your finger and it’s taken at night. So basically the reading is useless.

Three years later, Versa 4:

I get an SPO2 average that's not just below the "at this moment" results I typically see from a finger clamp pulse oximeter (and had on a pulmonary function test at the hospital a couple of months ago), but well below what my previous fitness tracker (Amazfit Band 5) reported right up to the day I put it in a drawer and put on my new Fitbit.

As in: With the Amazfit, average SPO2 of 98%; Versa 4, 93 to 95% over the first week of readings.

My HRV also shows in the somewhat scary low range, but I don't have past results to compare that to.
