Fitbit has included blood oxygen monitoring (SpO2) hardware in the recent few years but is yet to use it. As per the statements of the Reddit users, their devices are sometimes providing blood oxygen data. The devices that are providing such data are the Ionic, Versa, and Charge 3. Such monitoring comes suddenly for a temporary period and helps in tracking of several health issues. The issues include heart diseases, sleep apnea, and asthma.

The clarity report of getting the first dibs is not yet clear. It is not dictated how the module works. Is it by the membership type or by device type? Fitbit confirms the Engadget rollout. The gadgets are determining the oxygen variation by the use of red and infrared sensors. However, the company has warned about the product and marks its reading as a relative figure. The company assures the consumers of not seeing larger variations if you are sleeping properly.
