If SP02 is disabled on my Apple Watch Ultra 2, does that mean sleep apnea detection is also disabled?
Got a tip for us?

Sleep apnea notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
The Sleep Apnea Notifications Feature can look for breathing disturbances while you’re sleeping and notify you if they show consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea.
"it uses the accelerometer to look for breathing disturbances while you sleep."
thank you @Night Spring and @jz0309
Sounds like it's relying on breathing disturbances to cause wrist movement.
Seems like it would only catch the worst cases of sleep apnea...

It's a good thing that people who actually research stuff like this don't just make a conclusion becuase "it just seems like."
