Apple Watch Ultra 3 Question

[Rafagon]

So the Apple Watch Ultra 3 also has the EKG app limitation? We have to see the result on the phone and not on the watch?

If so, then when Mosimo finally gets kicked out of court, having lost, will the app then come to the Ultra 3?

I believe the SpO2 feature is limited by the lawsuit.
You have to use your iPhone to view it.

Yep. It will update like the watch 10 did last month. That won’t happen until the case is finished or Apple loses and appeals again

Strange but my AW9 has the SpO2 on the face (Blood Oxygen).

Is that normal ?

 

[TNman]

My 10 has it but only after the update last month. It didn’t have it when I first got it

The EKG/ECG feature is different than the blood oxygen feature and it’s not affected by any lawsuits.

That's what I meant. My apologies. The blood oxygen feature. On the AWU3. Does it show on the Watch like my unaffected AWU2 or does it show on the iPhone like the new way that just became available?

I believe if you are in the US it is on the phone, elsewhere in the world on the face as it has always been.

I am in the US and my AW9 shows the Blood Oxygen on the face.

Will the US Ultra 3 not have the same feature on the face ?

U3 will most likely do the same as all watches sold after Jan 2024 in the US, SpO2 results on phone, not on watch. It’s the same sensors so nothing has changed.

No, on phone only

Nothing has changed as far as the lawsuit with Mosimo, so any Apple Watch currently sold is subject to the same restrictions on Sp02. That will include the S11 and AWU3.

If Apple prevails at some point in the future, the feature can quickly be enabled by an update to WatchOS. All the necessary hardware is already in the watch.
