SpO2 readings only when SpO2 watch face is selected?

[jsolanasl]

Hi,

Many reviews were published today. All of them complain that SpO2 must be installed AND SELECTED to get SpO2 readings. It doesn't measure SpO2 if another watch face is selected?

It's a bit strange to offer so many watch faces if certain features only work in a specific watch face...

Some of the reviews that mention this:

Thanks for your help!

You see, this is what bugs me the most about fitbit ; They expect customers to be patient.

If it takes a software update pushed out a month after release to make things work 50% of the way they were advertised then there is a simple solution... Push the release of the product back a month to have it most of the way to what is advertised when it is released. Don't release half baked products, get bad reviews and then sink lower in earnings because of it.

Having it on demand might be nice but, truth is, from a health perspective it's not so great. I can see why they want it from wile sleeping since tht is a longer term period where you are moving less which allows the watch to gather a much better idea of the true oxygen usage.

I thought it was just the opposite of what you posted.  A high HRV is favorable and a low one is unfavorable.
