PulseOx is just missing...

Weird, isn't it? I know where it suppose to be according to manual, but it is simply not there. Made a reset - still not there. Added manually as widget in Garmin Express (Mac), but it is still not in my watch. Mystery....

CapMarvel ver, 4.70

Page 7 of the manual suggests:

Select > Wrist Heart Rate > Pulse Ox > Tracking Mode.

Well, there is no Pulse Ox in Wrist Heart Rate section of the setup

Do you have a Japanese version by any chanse?

0 Notibiru over 4 years ago in reply to 1LEumT4P6Y

Perhaps, since it was purchased in Japan. But there are no marks "J" on the body or box.

Yeah.. Pulse Ox is not present on Japanese devices due to local laws:

OK. Nice to know at least it isn't a defect of my device...

How people overcome this? Changing region in their connect profiles? Retrofitting european firmware? 3rd party applications from garmin store?

I don't think there is a way to overcome this. The only way would be installing the firmware which supports PulseOx, but judging by the Fenix beta firmwares - this isn't possible, because Asian devices are not compattible with "rest of world" firmwares.

Sorry about that.

Strangely, PulseOx appeared recently after upgrade VA4 to 6.20 on Japanese watch. Coincidently or not, mentioned above Garmin Support message disappeared too....
