How do I view SPO2 on a graph ie to compare over the course of the night?

As title, how can I view this in the app? Thanks in advance!

@David-l You cannot, only the maximum is shown in the app.

Thanks Brad - does that mean that I can only ever see the latest measurement, even in the watch? Just interested to see if it varies over night.

Thanks again

you can check the daily graph, if you measure it manually more than once, but not the nightly one

Thanks, that’s a shame as that’s possibly the most useful function for SPO2 overnight and sleep apnea

@David-l This is a great point. I agree that it’s a shame this data is not provided, even though Suunto alleges it is measuring throughout the night. This seems to be an oversight, and I am hopeful it will be included in a future update.

For those of you who have stated not to use the watch as a medical device…I get it. In no way am I advocating the watch is a replacement for medical equipment regarding sleep apnea. Still, it’s useful for sleep apnea folks to get data on their blood oxygen levels while sleeping to see what factors affect the variation. Having the “average” blood oxygen level from my night of sleep doesn’t seem to be a very useful data point IMO.

@jhaller19er
if some are stating that it is not a medical device, probably it is the reason why Suunto doesn’t want, or even cannot, display data, which may not be precise enough, and may lead to wrong interpretations. Maybe overnight filtering and data averaging is the “only” data Suunto can display as an overall “outdoor altitude acclimatation”.
If all automatic measures would be displayed, one may either take wrong decisions, or even see that somemeasurement are totally out of scope --> would it mean apnea, or just bad measure ?
just my 2c about the question.

If data cannot be measured in the right way, data should not be measured at all …

[Mff73]

@pilleus
yes, that is why, i think, only the max and/or certain values are retained and display.
How could one know if the data is correct ?
For my particular case, OHR doesn’t give good results, or at least at need to know expected values, to know if they are correct (plausible), does it mean that OHR should be removed ?

Well, even if you take, let’s say, a dozen of manual measurements during the day-time you may take wrong decisions… So, I do not understand why an automatic displaying of the night-time values is not acceptable, while manual (maybe wrong?) measurements are.

@Matúš
When awake one can be “sure” to be still enough, not moving the arm, etc… When sleeping, who knows…
Hey, just my own thoughts.
