PulseOx/ Spo2 Companion SDK

Hi there,

I am currently getting started with the Companion SDK and I have run the example app, to get into the code first. I cannot get the PulseOx/ Spo2 reading, they are at -1 (according to the documentation it means, there is no reading available).
Is there any way, i can request this reading at a self defined interval?

Thank you very much in advance. Best
Theresa

So I used the garmin vivosmart 4, because it is relatively cheap and had real time functionality. It was a bit of a hassle to get a key for the companion SDK though, because I used it for a study and not to make money with it. You could check before your purchase, if you will get continous access to the SDK, so you don't buy the watch for nothing. They will ask you about details of what your app is for etc.

I am not sure if this watch is the best suited for your purpose, but also my research on the watches is 2 years old so maybe you want to check others as well. I advise you to not buy a 20$ unknown one, I have heard that the readings are unreliable and their are hard to develop for.
