whats the best setup for Pulsoximeter Measurement cause of the intensive Battery Drain?

got my Forerunner yesterday, made setup and till 24 hours i have arround 25% battery lost!

when i deactivate during the day, it will measure during sleep and during my workouts?

or workouts only measured, when it measure during the whole day?

    No, breathing is only based on HRV according to Firstbeat. This makes sense, as the blood oxygen level measured at your wrist would show by far too much of a delay and be too unprecise to detect any breathing. Consider that breathing is a reflex to keep your blood oxygen level steady. So if you breath normally, the level should not change at all and by far too little to be noticed by any optical instrument.

    thx, i tested Strength training with breathing datafield yesterday, but as i didn't use a HR strap i have no recorded breathing, in the next Strength training i will test with HR strap and will see!

    Isn't during night only 4 hour period?

    And 3% might have been rounded nicely as it's not so accurate, let's say it was more like 4% for 4 hours, so 1% per hour, it would mean 24 hours is 24%, so sounds that it's using pretty much the same.

    I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll mention it here again. To my knowledge, pulse-ox data is not currently used by Firstbeat analytics in any way, so don't worry about it on/off impacting your Body Battery,Training Status, Acclim, etc.
