Hi everyone,
I found Spo2 is way off, it's inaccurate at all comparing to other (LOT Cheaper) devices.
anyone have advice to gain more accurate results, or we have to wait for (most likely never) update that fix it from Garmin.
Thanks

SpO2 is nothing to mess around with. And last night my V4 showed ridiculously low. Advising someone their level averaged 89% and has dipped below 75% for a period of time should be cause for high-alarm…
It's not low accuracy, but zero accuracy. I've done tons of comparisons with medical pulsoximeters, and the measurement on the VA4 might as well be a random number. On my Fitbit device, on the other hand…
Same. I use it but only so I can compare nightly to see if anything changes dramatically. I know my spO2 isn’t actually 80% every night. It is simply inaccurate and completely unreliable as a measurement…
Hopefully Garmin can address it in future firmware releases, and possibly just discard the data if any movement was detected or data doesn't look reliable enough.
I bought my venu2 for this measurement and it's totally pointless. Might get a refund and get something that works.
My watch is 3 points lower (I’ve compared 6 times) to the one I use on my finger. I did’t expect it to be perfect but at least I have a general idea of where the watch thinks my normal number is. If I’m out exercising and start feeling “funky” I will just use my average reading as the baseline in comparison.
SpO2 measurement results on my vivoactive 4 are 4 - 5 % to low, compared to a reliable measurement from a medical device and the information on https://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/atdisclaimer/ did not help.
