SpO2 doesn't show up

[MayurP]

I have installed the SpO2 clock face and been tracking my sleep since past 3 nights. The clock face still says sleep to update. First thing is on demand SpO2 ever going to be a reality on fitbit sense. I have been using apple watch from past 4 years and recently switched to android, I was in the market looking for android alternative for apple watch and took a chance with fitbit sense and guess what, a half baked device which doesn't even deliver on the promises made during intro video. Moreover features that are delivered doesn't work properly or are absent

Do you see any readings under the App's "Health Metrics"? SpO2 measurements from the wrist can be inaccurate, since it depends upon the fit.

Have you tried leaving the SpO2 watch face on for a period of time upon waking up? After my first three nights wearing the watch, I too was noticing that there wasn't a number showing up on the watch face. Then I read the bit about getting your SpO2 number within an hour after waking up. So then I started leaving the SpO2 as my watch face for longer in the morning and started seeing my number.

In the health metrics option it keeps saying install SpO2 clock face. And why would that be the requirement. It has a dedicated sensor and shouldn't require to have specific clock face in first place. This device is already getting on my nerves and Sense is not making Sense in many ways now

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try and see what happens.

Yea, this is one of the wackiest implementations I've ever seen. My guess is that this was the absolute quickest way to deliver the capability in time for launch. At least that's my hope. In the meantime, vote here to push Fitbit to fix the issue: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/View-SpO2-in-app-and-don-t-require-SpO2-clock-fa....

Other thing I noticed is that the Spo2 % doesn't seem to show if the watch is in sleep mode. I've got mine on a sleep schedule, and as soon as sleep turns off, the % shows. I've also tried switching clock faces and then switching back to Spo2 clock face. Seems to work, but also seems a bit risky.

I would hope so. That way we will have hope of getting this feature delivered and I really hope this device has enough power and is capable of delivering on demand SpO2 as well as instantaneous skin temp, Music storage etc

Worked for me. Thanks man, however i am still unsatisfied due to the fact it's yesterday night's number an instantaneous reading would be much helpful.
