It has a brighter at all times-on display, a more powerful processor, quicker charging and two new colorful options to choose from. However the feature I used to be most excited to check out was its new sensor that measures oxygen saturation within the blood (aka [BloodVitals SPO2](https://allbio.link/geniababb1)) with the tap of a display. As somebody who panic-bought a pulse oximeter at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and nonetheless checks her levels at the primary signal of a cough, the thought of getting one strapped to my wrist at all times was sufficient to pique my interest. But not like the ECG function on the Apple Watch, which has been tried, tested and cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration, along with the irregular heart rhythm notifications, [BloodVitals SPO2](http://giggetter.com/blog/19346/a-comprehensive-study-on-bloodvitals-spo2-the-ultimate-home-blood-monitorin/) on the Apple Watch nonetheless seems to be in its early stages.

Having low blood oxygen levels does not assure you may have COVID-19, but it is certainly one of the major signs of the illness. I had read horror stories of people that waited too long to go to the hospital and had died in their sleep as a result of they did not realize their ranges had dipped overnight. You must at all times test with a physician if you're experiencing shortness of breath (one other symptom of COVID-19), even when a pulse oximeter says you are in a healthy vary, however I discovered consolation in knowing that I may at least use it as a reference if I ever skilled shortness of breath. That's not one thing you are able to do with the Apple Watch -- Apple says it ought to be used for wellness functions only and not as a medical machine, which means you may have to take the outcomes with a grain of salt and should not use it to display screen for any type of disease, which is what I had been hoping to get out of it.<br>

But instead of shining the light by means of your fingertip, it makes use of the light that is reflected again from the blood vessels in your wrist to find out your oxygen levels primarily based on the shade of your blood. Through the setup course of you're requested whether or not or not you want to activate [BloodVitals SPO2](https://f-ast.me/marquitatiller) tracking, which I did, but you may always go back and disable it in the settings after the actual fact. The very first thing I did after strapping on the Watch was open the Blood Oxygen app. It provides you a number of tips on how one can get the very best consequence and you should rest your arm on a table or flat surface while the Watch is taking a reading.<br>
