No Ox or Respiration during Activities?

Former Member over 3 years ago

I have OX set to always on, but neither respiration or Ox is recording during activities which is the main reason I got the watch to keep an eye on these numbers, and yes I know it ox reads best when motionless, but stopping during a hike or other activity for a minute for a reading or while catching my breath is not a problem.

So, How do I get to see/record these numbers? on the daily graph the few hours of activity just have blank areas.

Hello! The pulse OX will not be measured during the actual activity. As soon as you start an activity it will disable it.

What is the purpose of that? Doesnt anyone want to know that information during an activity? Part of the reason I got this watch was to see o2 and #breaths during an activity along with the GPS for hiking, which doenst work right either.

Here is an article regarding the respiration. Erratic or No Respiration Data in Activities

Thank you,,

When I read that i was more confused because it says it works with HRM-Pro/Tri/Dual but doesnt say which the watch has.. BUT if you use the link further down to another article it relists those with the word "strap" which should be in the 1st article ( otherwise it sound like those could be they type of reader in the watch), However it does say it does work in certain activities. and widgets.

So can a custom walk activity be created that would allow it to work?
