Pulse Oximeter
Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2).
As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease.
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter glance (
). You can also turn on all-day readings (
Turning On All-Day Mode, page 69
). When you
view the pulse oximeter glance while you are not moving, your watch analyzes your oxygen saturation and your
elevation. The elevation profile helps indicate how your pulse oximeter readings are changing, relative to your to
elevation.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter reading appears as an oxygen saturation percentage and color on the graph.
On your Garmin Connect account, you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including
trends over multiple days.
