Regular nighttime oxygen metrics question S 9 Peak Pro
-
Hello, I have a new S 9 Peak Pro watch and I am a bit confused about the ability to monitor oxygen levels at night. I observed with night monitoring turned on that the watch measures the oxygen level approximately every 20 minutes. However, the Suunto App is empty at night from 22:00 to 6:00 and at this time I can only get to the maximum value of night oxygen. In the oxygen measurement metric graph, I only see the manual oxygen saturation measurement points, nothing from the automatic night measurement Is it my ignorance, or is the ability to display complete nightly oxygen metrics not yet implemented? Thank you very much

Hello,
It’s a good point.
I looked twice in my Suuntoapp, there is no any oxygen saturation graph, then I checked my old data, now I understand what you said.
If we don’t trigger it manually, the oxygen saturation data will not be logged into graph.
But I’m a little bit surprised, the measurement should be automatic all day long right? Why it’s only during the night? If only the maximum value is valuable to noticed, why we need the graph?
Personally I don’t trigger the oxygen saturation by myself, the value is too off.

I will describe my problem more carefully. Personally, I have had a disease called awakening epilepsy since childhood. This term is not very established and has only become known in recent years. If my sleep is disturbed by something at night, I may have an epileptic seizure at night. That’s why the quality of sleep is extra important to me all night long. I was totally excited about having a blood oxygen saturation sensor in a watch, because while the measurement isn’t accurate in absolute terms, it is accurate in relative terms. I compared the measurements with a finger pulse oximeter and the value is offset, but the offset value only changes with the change of position of the watch on the wrist and I am able to hold that position so that the values are accurate around 2-3%, which are absolutely amazing comparable values with fingertip pulse oximeter accuracy. But the maximum value of oxygen saturation is not enough for me personally, because in the morning, when I wake up, my saturation rises. In the middle of the night I have around 94% and in the morning 99%. But I’m interested in the whole night from 22:00 to about 5:00. Not a short stretch from 5:00 - 6:00, when I slowly wakes up and my heart rate and oxygenation rise. If I could read the whole chart of values, I could work on breathing at night, that is, to see what position is better, how to avoid snoring, which can limit the amount of air inhaled, what pillow, etc. This would significantly help me improve the quality of sleep and to avoid even more effective seizures, which are very unpleasant. I understand that the watch is not a medical device, but I think that if the watch already has such a high-quality sensor, it is a shame not to have access to all the data.
But maybe the developers could add it soon?

I do use the finger sensor as well.
My perspective is the optical sensor is NOT SUITABLE for a one moment measurement. (Not for medical usage)
The optical sensor can give you a very accurate value for a period average but NOT ONE GIVEN MOMENT .
So even everytime I trigger the oxygen saturation measurement, it shows a ridiculous value, globally the night max value is correct.
It’s why I do use finger sensor to measure my morning HR to understand if my recovery is done. My watch cannot give me a good value at that moment.

My watch cannot give me a good value at that moment.Yes, those are very correct points, nothing can be concluded from the individual measurements, just from the principle of the matter. But if, for example, I attach a small ball to my back that pushes me and forces me to sleep on my side and not on my back all night. And I see that my average night saturation has increased by 3% (relative). Then I realize that sleeping on my back causes snoring for me and vice versa, sleeping on my side free the respiratory tract and voila, the impact on the quality of life is great
But unfortunately the maximum value is useless in this case, because I slept for a while both nights on the side when my saturation would be correct. That’s why I think the maximum value can’t be the only correct value -
