Garmin® Training Video - Pulse Ox tracking on your Garmin

[@stoweman34]

Garmin should make a dedicated SP02 wearable. Make it twice as wide and double the battery...maybe even have a fingertip attachment that connects from wrist to finger for increased accuracy. I’d buy that alone g th or $99.

[@armimema]

I've been wearing my Vivoactive 4S for several months now, and it seems to me that the Pulse Ox measuring is way to low. I mostly get values in between 80 and 95, rarely higher than 95. When I get a reading with a finger-device, it's always 98-99-100... I had hoped that Garmin would have a better and more accurate SPO2 monitor, but as it is it is pretty useless 😒

[@80mrcharlie]

Sia il pulse Ox ,sia il rilevamento della frequenza cardiaca al polso,poco attendibile

[@jerryjoynson]

As PulseOx is a heavy battery consumer, could we have the ability to turn it on for a few minutes per day, to produce spot checks? This would be similar to having a portable finger end monitor, which is typically only used for five minutes at a time.

[@Choedron]

It does not show right numbers on the Forerunner 965. I have tested it against 5 different dedicated pulse oximeters. When I measure on one of the dedicated pulse oximeters, I get 97-98%. At the same time my Garmin Forerunner 965 shows 90-91%, which is not true at all. The numbers are measured on the same arm at the same time - I have no hair on my wrist. So this cannot be the cause of the wrong reading. So it is not precise at all..

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear you are having inconsistencies in the PulseOx reading on your Forerunner 965. I would recommend that you reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com so we can get a bit more information and take a closer look at what is happening. - KB

[@vitordullens3835]

I can measure my pulse ox during an exercise?

[@chuckmartin5773]

Not real certain it is very accurate. I bought a brand new Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire and the readings I get seem to be very low. Consistently running between 88-92 so I went a bought an actual fingertip Ox reader and the readings are running around 97%. I will do more testing using them at the same time.

[@chuckmartin5773]

I had a sleep study done in a hospital and looks like the watch is pretty accurate!!

[@jamlinsaidi5044]

What’s the recommended setting? All day or During sleep or on demand? Please advise..

[@helluhdope]

This failed to answer how to install the widget.

[@danielmcdonald9917]

I had mine switched on for all day an didn’t record my sleep, but I did have my phone on flight mode would that effect the outcome due to no signal ?

[@salty_berserker_channel]

Is it useful to monitor pulsox during an intense workout to make sure im breathing properly, getting enough o2

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Trying to track Pulse Ox during a workout would be tricky. Since Pulse Ox tracking in the Garmin smartwatches would require you to be still, you would have to stop to take your reading. Also, once you stop to take a measurement your body is really fast to get back to full oxygen saturation.

[@barbaraando_trek8051]

can you explain to me why my fenix 6x pro device is not accurate in the pulse ox measurement?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. If you are getting inaccurate pulse ox readings, please reach out to our Product Support Team at support.garmin.com or 800-800-1020. They will be happy to assist.

[@b.alix3]

Thanks this says NOTHING about setting up the widget.

[@brucemurray6144]

This is an ad, not a training video!

[@maxwell-gn2jn]

This would raise my anxiety. I rather keep it off. Your body knows how to regulate your oxygen.

[@Bizzpax]

There’s also techniques to regulate your breathing practice them for long enough and your body will know how to regulate oxygen more efficiently

[@jamie7351]

Somewhat off topic question here, but if I have two Garmin watches (Vivoactive 3 & a Vivomove Style) can the data collected via each watch be collaborated within the same account/app? Or would I have two entirely separate sets of data spread over two accounts? FYI I don't have either of these watches yet. One would be for work and the other for home. Thanks!

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Yes, with the Garmin Connect TrueUp feature, you can wear and sync data collected from multiple activity trackers. Most of our watches are compatible with this feature and only a select few are not. The following link has more information and compatible devices. I hope this helps. support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=a2uguZzTQG4I2HTBvHa0gA

[@cosimolat]

ciao Garmin, per cortesia potete verificare l'ultimo aggiornamento 20.30? Sul mio fenix 6 pulse ox segna sempre 100%, raramente 98/99...

[@thewiseoldbird]

Despite all of the blah blah there was nothing about a recommended body position. there were a few shots of people sitting, so I assume that sitting is ok. what about lying down? sure you can track pulseox while sleeping so lying down list work too,but is there a recommended position

[@Subzeranea]

on my Garmin 2 daily tracking is not working. the last percentage measured disappears and then reappears every time I navigate through the menus. Manual measurement works. Is there anything i can do fix it? It is with the latest firmware

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmoin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.

[@rodriguezahr]

Hi Marcus, I got a fenix 5 x but could not find the pulse Ox widget nor I can find it on my connect app. Is the fenix 5X not compatible with the widget?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The fenix 5x does not have a Pulse Ox sensor. However, the fenix 5x Plus does.

[@rodriguezahr]

@@GarminRetailTraining Min is the Fenix 5X Sapphire and I don't seem to have the Pulse OX widget nowhere !

[@GarminRetailTraining]

@@rodriguezahr If you do not have the fenix 5X PLUS, you will not have the Pulse Ox sensor. If you are unsure whether you have a PLUS model or a standard fenix 5X Sapphire, please reach out to our Product Support Team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to assist you.

[@AL3X2580]

is oxygen saturation available as a data field for exercises on the Venu SQ or only via the Pulse Ox widget?

[@edchin5706]

Does the Pulse Ox works underwater? Able to take measurements in Swimming activity?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Pulse Ox does not work underwater.

[@v1LzStar]

Does not work underwater and the video shows someone swimming 🤔

[@vixiej1605]

I was hoping to be shown how to check it, as a one off measurement. I found how to change the settings. Not really that helpful for me

[@suluhnusantoro982]

Does vivoactive 4 have that spo2 feature?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Yes, the vivoactive 4 has a Pulse Ox sensor.

[@muhdbasil_]

May i know why my pulse ox stats are not showing ni my connect app? On the watch it showed, but when i want to check it on phone, it didnt show anything

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. It's possible that the Pulse Ox card is hidden on your "My Day" page. To check, scroll down to the bottom of the "My Day" page and select "Edit My Day". You will see all of the active cards at the top and the hidden cards at the bottom. Make sure the Pulse Ox page is active. If it is and you still cannot see your Pulse Ox data, please reach out to our Product Support Team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com for further assistance. They will be happy to help.

[@muhdbasil_]

@@GarminRetailTraining arraso thank you

[@ema4617]

Do vivoactive3 have this feature?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The vivoactive 3 does not have the Pulse Ox features, however the vivoactive 4/4S and Venu 2/2S2Sq does.

[@JonMcG]

So reading between the lines ..... pulse=ox reads oxygen in your blood by heart rate , elevation ( altimeter ) and GPS movement , ie , it reads what it SHOULD be , and not what it actually is ?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Our Pulse Ox tracking provides an estimation of the user's SpO2%. While every effort is made to ensure a high degree of accuracy, there are certain limitations that can cause inaccurate measurements. The user's physical characteristics, fit of the device, and presence of ambient light may impact the readings, as well as excessive motion and the position of the device. It is important to keep your arm/sensor still for approximately one minute for best accuracy.

[@JonMcG]

@@GarminRetailTraining thanks for taking time to reply . Can’t wait for the day you are able to install Actual ox pulse readers , plus a device to measure blood sugar etc .

[@surgfish]

is this available in the Garmin Descent MK1?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The Descent Mk1 does not have the Pulse Ox feature.

[@JoeLiu852]

is it able to see SPO2 live in the wrist?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Most Garmin wearables that have the Pulse Ox feature, also have the ability to view Pulse Ox on demand. Please reach out to our Product Support team for assistance on your specific device. They can be reached at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com, and will be happy to assist. I hope this helps.

[@Mexighetti]

Less chat cut to the chase on setting

[@mauriciochavez3883]

Useless, it doesn't tell you how to do it.

[@inlineskatesandhybridbikes1110]

So good~👍👍👍👍👍

[@scottengine1]

Once again a video that doesn’t have specifics - Overly bloated sales crap I need to know how much data this app can take during the night time can someone please answer that question how often is pulse ox actually taken during sleep can I said the amount of time it takes I don’t care about the battery I want my oxygen measured while I !! Howwwwv often does the post pulse ox take the reading? How many data points Kenneth store this is pertinent information I don’t need all the sales mumbo-jumbo!!

[@jaimeantidiesel]

Basically useless

[@pakdolan]

How so? Care to explain?

[@rrosomasa]

Don’t be so hard on yourself!

[@iqbalwahyuperdana]

Basically u didn't know how to use it
