Pulse Oximeter
The Descent watch has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood. Knowing
your oxygen saturation can be valuable in understanding your overall health and help you determine how your
body is adapting to altitude. Your watch gauges your blood oxygen level by shining light into the skin and
checking how much light is absorbed. This is referred to as SpO
2
.
On the watch, your pulse oximeter readings appear as an SpO
2
percentage. On your Garmin Connect account,
you can view additional details about your pulse oximeter readings, including trends over multiple days (Setting
the Pulse Oximeter Mode, page 118). For more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go to garmin.com
