Apple Watch 6 Series Blood Oxygen not working

[DonTown]

Hi,
I bought a series 6 last week mainly to measure my blood oxygen level,

But about 80% of the time i get an unsuccessful measurement.

Has any one else experienced this problem?

Thank you

Try reading the first few pages you’ll see it’s addressed several times. The key is a very tight band. And some bands don’t work as well as others. And you must keep your arm completely 100% still taking the measurement.

And if you’re new to forums, you’ll get many more answers if you use the title to explain the problem, rather than just
Apple Watch six series”. Something to the effect of “I can’t get blood oxygen to work.”

Is your band tight? If it isn’t tight, that can affect readings. You also need to make sure your arm is perfectly still during the test.
