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

        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?

            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.

                  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.

                    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 anyway 😉

                      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 🙂

                        This…
                        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%

                          maybe Suunto improves this feature in parallel to an XL development 😀

                                  isn’t the apple watch detecting heart issues in some cases?

                                    @freeheeler That will be the Omega variant (if Swatch so wishes).

                                      that will take some more cycles… I hope we’re not going to see Omega at all 😦

                                          maybe they can still use it in few cases to check if anything gets critical 🤞
