Pulse Oximeter
The Approach S62 device has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the saturation of oxygen in your blood.
Knowing your oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is adapting to exercise and stress. Your
device 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 device, 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. For
more information on pulse oximeter accuracy, go to garmin.com/ataccuracy.
Getting Pulse Oximeter Readings
You can manually begin a pulse oximeter reading by viewing the pulse oximeter widget. The accuracy of the
pulse oximeter reading can vary based on your blood flow, the device placement on your wrist, and your
stillness.
NOTE: You may need to add the pulse oximeter widget to the widget loop.
1 While you are sitting or inactive, swipe up to view the pulse oximeter widget.
2 Tap the widget to view more details and begin a pulse oximeter reading.
3 Hold the arm wearing the device at heart level while the device reads your blood oxygen saturation.
4 Keep still.
The device displays your oxygen saturation as a percentage, and a graph of your pulse oximeter readings
and heart rate values for the last four hours.
Turning On Pulse Oximeter Sleep Tracking
You can set your device to continuously measure your blood oxygen saturation while you sleep.
NOTE: Unusual sleep positions can cause abnormally low sleep-time SpO2 readings.
1 Press Menu.
2 Select Settings > Sensors & Accessories > Pulse Ox During Sleep.
