Tap “Health & Fitness Stats” and select “Sleep” to manually open the section.Scroll to the bottom of your Today tab and click the black Discover button.If you do not see your sleep tracking information on your app’s home screen at all: Again, remember that the feature is still beginning to roll out to devices, so if you don’t see it yet, keep wearing your Fitbit to sleep and checking back. If you scroll down past the hours tracked and sleep stages, you should see a section called Estimated Oxygen Variation. Sleep should be one of the categories of data tracked while you’re wearing the Fitbit. To view it, open the mobile app and look at your daily summary. The data should be available to you under the Sleep section of your Fitbit app when you wake up. Make sure your app is up to dateĪfter the update, you don’t need to do much else to enable blood oxygen monitoring. Keep in mind that this feature is still in its roll-out stages, so check back often to see if your device has gotten the update. So far, Fitbit has only made blood oxygen monitoring available under the sleep portion of its app, and presents the data at a generalized level, so don’t expect to see exact, hour-by-hour levels of oxygen in your bloodstream. Monitoring your oxygen levels is helpful during both exercise (to see how your body adjusts during an intense HIIT workout or a long hike, for example) and sleep (when it could help with early detection of underlying health issues). Why is this important? Because your blood oxygen levels indicate how well oxygen is distributed throughout your body, which is important for making sure your organs are functioning properly. (Interestingly, this is a feature that Apple said its Apple Watch is capable of doing, but which has yet to be released for that device.) Earlier this month, Fitbit quietly rolled out blood oxygen monitoring to five of its devices: the Versa, Versa 2, Versa Lite, Ionic, and Charge 3.
