You can enable also Sleep Pulse Ox from the watch menu, on Pulse Oximeter Option.

  • Doesn't look like it's available on the Android app yet, but I do have the setting on the watch.

    I do believe the intent of the oxy and sleep is to wake you when not getting oxygen. An aide inplace of the sleep app machine.

    Apple garmin Fitbit and Samsung are working on FDA approval to make this an official medical aide device.

    Long story ore short I don’t think it’s fully deployed.

    Not at all, all I find to work properly on the fenix 5xplus is the time and date
