SpO2 sensor is unreliable

Most of the times, when I try to measure SpO2 through the widget it does not get a reading. I am completely motionless, but after approximately 60 second it will give up and show me last measurement.

Do you have similar problem? Am I doing anything wrong?

After latest update, it seems that overall performance is better. I got readings out the sensor most of times now. Thanks a lot for a fix.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue. Can you please let me know the fix to it?

I think that sensor is a waste of time to be honest, just now the watch gives me a reading of 94% whereas a finger Pulse Oximeter gives me a reading of 99%. To be fair the HR readings are pretty much the same. I've the sensor turned off on the 945 & ignore it.

It's unreliable the spo² sensor. My Xiaomi mi watch readings match with the finger spo² sensor,most of times the readings is 97% or 98% , Garmin reading is always under 93,94% . If is not accurate why put this in the list specs ,and worst, drain all the battery
