Pulse Oximeter
The watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing your
oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine how your body is
adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin and checking how
much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO
2
.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO
2
percentage. On your Garmin Connect account,
you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days (
On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking, page 14
). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go to
Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading on your watch at any time. The accuracy of these readings
can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness.
