Pulse Oximeter - Garmin TACTIX 7 Owner's Manual

As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation can
help you determine how your body is adjusting to high altitudes. During a flight, the watch automatically takes
pulse oximeter readings more frequently, so you can monitor your SpO2 percentage
