Apple Watch O2 readings
Quote | Reply
A bit of a silly question but wondering what other people are seeing on their O2 monitor on the Apple watch 6. I am usually between 94 and 97%, but mostly 94 or 95.

I am not expecting the watch to be crazy accurate, but wondering if there is a correlation between fitness and O2 saturation, and wondering if I am lower than my similarly trainer peers (I am in my 50s).

I am in my 50s. The readings my watch takes are 97%-99%. I get an occasional 100 and rarely see 95 or lower. When I manually take a reading (consciously be still the whole time), I usually get 99-100. I did one just now and got 100%. The two earlier automated readings my watch took today were 97%

I'm 93 to 100. I'm also a male that will be 64 this Sunday. Planning at least a 64 mile bike ride Sunday to celebrate.

Heck yeah! My birthday is also April 4. (I'll be 59.) And I, too, am planning on riding.

For the OP, my readings offer the past 5 months have ranged from 89 to 100%, 94 to 100% over the last week.

Happy Birthday and thanks all! Sounds like I am in the ballpark. When I googled O2 saturation it seemed to say 96 to 100 was typical so I figured some comparables would be interesting since I am usually just below that.

I dont have the Apple Pulse Ox (O2) device, but a separate Pulse Oximeter that I use at the House. I live at 8500 feet and find it really interesting how the Pulse Ox varies with hard intervals. Normally at Home, I'm at 94-96 %, down in Denver at 5300 feet it rises up to 97-98%.

After vary hard intervals at home it can drop to low 90's. That's when i get that 'out of gas' feeling'. I'm beginning to think that Pulse Ox is one of those parameters that might be important to track for a while !
