I had some high hopes for that feature, I admit. I have a Masimo pulse ox that I have used quite a bit over the past 2 years, but the problem is where is it, and batteries, so the Apple Watch seemed like a win. It's on the watch!
Except it's not...
I can't get it to work most of the time. My wrist has to be practically completely immobile to get it to work, and the Masimo works perfectly during a hard furious bike ride. I've tried the AW app during a bike ride on a stationary trainer, and it usually bombs out with an error. Sitting on the toilet one night, just me breathing, and heart beating tripped it up once.
It's almost useless. I feel like I have been lied to by Apple about that feature. If Masimo can do it, what's up with the AW?
Does it work better for other people? I'm disappointed. I guess I'll keep the Masimo for a while more. Keeping it in reach is not what I thought I'd be doing after the latest Apple Watch.
