Pulse Oximeter
Your watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge
the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood
(SpO2). 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 acclimating to high altitudes for alpine sport and
expedition.
