Is the oxygen sensor in the AW10 completely disabled or is it just the blood oxygen app missing? Like does it record information for exercise, sleeping, etc…, or it’s just completely dead?

There’s an import ban for the US basically disabling SpO2 measurements, in effect since mid Jan 24. Plenty threads here discussing that, impacts S9/10/U2

The sensor is disabled on AW 9/10/U2 watches sold after the ban was imposed in the US in January 2024. If you are able to find a watch with the sensor activated then you are able to still use the sensor.

Last month, Costco was selling old stock of the U2 with the sensor activated, which I took advantage of an am happy to report that the blood oxygen sensor is activated.
