Does anyone know of a watch face for the Fenix 6 that shows pulse ox? i.e. I'd like to be able to just glance at the default time readout screen and also see a pulse ox value without having to click through the buttons. Thanks.

Due to the nature of how the Pulse OX works and the 45-60 seconds it takes to get a reading when your Pulse OX is activated - none of the default watch faces and their available data fields include it. I do not expect any Connect IQ custom watch faces to have it.
OK...thanks. Future update perhaps??
I was looking for the same.
Just to be able to show latest pulseOx value as a watchface data would be interesting to avoid going through widgets
AGREED !!
A couple thoughts. Your watch only occasionally runs the Pulse OX feature even when turned on automatically since it would be a big impact on battery drain. We do not make medical devices and our watches and their sensors are consumer grade so we want to ensure everyone is aware of that when discussing this type of feature. The Pulse OX is a great feature used to spot check your blood oxygen percentage, as needed, but mainly intended for elevation training, information when climbing a mountain with higher elevation, and to improve training data.
I will be happy to submit a request for our engineers consideration that the Pulse OX feature be added as a watch face data field.
Could Body Battery also be considered as I think other watchs have it as a field?
well understood that there are some technical challenges in pulse ox.. but what about stress and body battery as watch faces Garmin??
Hi Chris, I would love to see Pulse Ox added as a watch face data field. On a slightly different topic (maybe a new thread?? not sure), I also thought that it would be GREAT if there were a way to set an ALARM or WARNING about a Pulse Ox that was too 'low'. Could be user selectable. i.e. Vibrate and alarm if/when my Pulse Ox is below "85" or "80"....whatever the user thought appropriate. Truth be told, I just dropped $2k for new Fenix 6's for myself and my wife as I see this Pulse Ox feature of the Fenix as a possible life saver during the pandemic. Of course, I realize that this is NOT what Garmin has signed up for, and that Garmin can NOT assume any liability regarding the Pulse Ox feature. But, it could actually serve as an incredible warning system. There have been asymptomatic people who have ended up in the hospital thinking they 'might' be sick with COVID, and upon being diagnosed, their pulse ox was so low that the doctors were surprised that they were still "vertical". i.e. An early warning about a continued lower than normal pulse ox might be cause to seek medical attention when other symptoms do not present. My $0.02. #garminsaveslives

that would also have been cheaper:
And substantially less convenient to wear on a 24 hour basis. Plus, I'm pretty sure that those won't track my runs and rides. ♂️
