Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading from the pulse oximeter glance. The accuracy of the pulse
oximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the watch placement on your wrist, and your stillness.
NOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter glance to the glance loop (

1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up or down to view the pulse oximeter glance.

The watch displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings and
heart rate values since midnight.
