@stylianos-kalintzis The Suunto 7 has no blood oxygen sensor.

@surfboomerang
and if I’m not mistaken, it will never have blood oxygen, same as my S9B, since the sensor is not made for it.…hmm… I really would like to see something like S9P XL some day
-
@freeheeler It is indeed a different sensor so it won’t come to the S9B.
To be honest, I don’t use it very often on my S9P. Somehow the sensor has a lot of trouble measuring my blood oxygen level. A lot of times I get the error that it can’t measure it correctly. If it gets a reading after several tries, I have doubts about the accuracy.
Because if I have to try 5 times to get a value, how accurate is that value then?Suunto Vertical Titanium Solar

@surfboomerang
room for improvement and time to sort it out until S9P XL
seriously, I hope they have a solution for it. I think other watch makers can show the saturation pretty reliably already -
@surfboomerang Improvements will come, I don’t think the sensor and underlying firmware was developed without plans to provide implementation beyond a manual reading of SpO2.

It very depends on the person, I get good results but obviously I don’t need this feature most of the year, I only need it for few weeks when I’m at altitude.

@brad_olwin
The battery drain on a 24/7 SPO2 readings is massive, which is partially why most make it spot readings, with continuous for sleep only. Plus doesn’t help that it can’t take a decent reading when you are active, so sort of make its pointless for 24/7 reading (and that doesn’t even take accuracy into account).
Even with a heavy duty battery like the F6xP - you drop from 21 days to 14 with it on for sleep tracking. Difficult to tell when 24/7 as it does dynamic readings between 5 - 15 mins as depends on activity levels. -
@jamie-bg
for my use case I would use it for single measurements only… when I feel that inhalation is due I could start the measurement and check if it already has an impact on the saturation…
but since I’m waiting for an XL version I have to be patient for this feature anywayliving sideways

@freeheeler
i had an S9P during one month, and never managed to have a saturation that i trusted EACH time.
what about a value that is not trustable ? and what about a value if one must know beforehand what the real value should be

For example I did 6 measurements in a row and this is the outcome:1: “Blood oxygen levels can’t be measured…” notification
2: “Blood oxygen levels can’t be measured…” notification
3: 76%
4: 100%
5: “Blood oxygen levels can’t be measured…” notification
6: 96%

@Mff73
maybe Suunto improves this feature in parallel to an XL development -
@freeheeler I have on my SMG S10 and I used only to contain my breath when I’m boring or to share with some paranoid friend about C19
-
@flypg
when the watch detects C19 it’s far progressed I guess

@freeheeler Nice for features suggestion…

@flypg
isn’t the apple watch detecting heart issues in some cases?living sideways
-
@freeheeler That will be the Omega variant (if Swatch so wishes).
-
@fenr1r
that will take some more cycles… I hope we’re not going to see Omega at all
-
@freeheeler yes - AFIB - but then most people already know whether they have it or not…
