I guess I understand that. I thought I was charging my watch when I got home last night, but realized the usb cord had loosened out of the brick. I charged it for about 15 minutes before bed, because I wanted to have my sleep stats instead of letting it charge while I slept

Funny, I was typing my post while you posted this.

Oxygen saturation values are between 95% and 100% for most healthy individuals, but sometimes can be lower in people with lung problems. Oxygen saturation levels are also generally slightly lower for those living at higher altitudes.

Between 88% and 92% oxygen level is considered safe for someone with moderate to severe COPD. Oxygen levels below 88% become dangerous, and you should ring your doctor if it drops below that. If oxygen levels dip to 84% or below, go to the hospital.

It turns out that I do have an O2 Sat (SpO2) tracker, but it only reports an average for each night of sleep. It appears that I usually run between 93-94% at night, presumably higher during the day.

They say it can get in the mid to low 90's at night when sleeping when it's cooler. They also say that readings can be 1-2 % off even the ones professional doctors and hospitals use.

I have a pulse oximeter (the finger clamp thing, souvenir of 2020), and it does read a bit higher in the day. My body dials way back at night - resting heart rate is usually 56 or so. Barely alive, lol.

Okay @volfanbill

Something that's important to me is the sleep info. I felt very comfortable with the accuracy of my Samsung and even more so with the consistency. Except for the blood ox reading during sleep. It was consistent but I don't think it was accurate. I bought a nice fingertip pulse oximeter just so I could check the watch accuracy. It was never off more than one percent.

I couldn't wait to test the Garmin. I'm getting almost identical readings from it that I was from the Samsung. Now I'm worried. I'm gonna have to talk to my doctor today.

Reason I'm telling you this is so you understand why I'm asking you if you will post a screen shot of one of your nights records. Im curious to what someone elses looks like. Here's Saturday night and Last night.

See my concern? Two watches with almost identical readings.

I just turned the Ox readings on, so I’ll show you my results Wednesday-ish after two recordings. I like the sleep levels function: deep sleep/REM sleep/light sleep. I’ve touched on it here, but my deployment really f’d up my sleep and I’m actually now (finally) on medication to try to improve it. I seriously struggle to get deep sleep and I’m not much better with REM sleep. My room is completely black, I sleep with it somewhat cool in my house (67°), and I use a thunderstorm app to make sound. No electronic lights whatsoever in my bedroom. Still only does so much. The Doxepin they finally prescribed 18 months ago works wonders, but I’m still not getting great sleep

Yeah I have no issue with my heart rate. My resting is usually about that 54-57.

My heart rate gets into the low 50s, sometimes even dips into the high 40s

Cool, thanks.

I love the sleep function and the Garmin seems to be as accurate as the Samsung or more and I was happy with the Samsung.

My Samsung suggested earplugs and I started using them and that helped. That's one of the reasons the vibration is so important. It also suggested eye mask. I use one of those too and my sleeping patters have improved drastically.

No audio guide. Looked at my watch for distance. Toe of shoe hit Crack in concrete. I fall on concrete. Right knee matches picture.
