There comes a time when benefits that at first were authentic novelties or exclusives become essential, to such an extent that you don’t understand how there are gadgets that you don’t have. It’s just what happened to him Google Pixel Watch and the SpO2 meter, a quality that the owners of the wearable they miss it a lot and that it has finally been activated on the smartwatch.
A desired watch that never saw the light
The Google Pixel Watch is one of those great opportunities lost by the people of Mountain View in the Spanish market. He clock It was presented last year and unfortunately for many, Google decided not to market it in Spain – and today it continues to be so. Despite this, it has been possible to find it in certain distributors such as Amazon, so today it is a wearable that many wear on their wrists.
In case you don’t know him, he PixelWatch It has a beautiful round case in polished stainless steel and a fairly minimalist design (with interchangeable straps) that is undoubtedly one of its hallmarks. Like many other watches, it allows you to track your activity, monitor your heart rate, and synchronizes with your smartphone so you can receive notifications, read messages, and interact with certain phone features from its screen. Nor does it forget to monitor your rest to record how you sleep, all managed within the interface of Google’s own system, Wear OS.
Despite looking complete, the truth is that until now it had a feature that was not active and that was already greatly missed in a watch that intends to compete with the rest of the equipment in its category: the recording of the levels of blood oxygen.
Finally with SpO2 recording
As we anticipated at the beginning, it seems incredible that a watch like the Pixel Watch, launched in the second half of 2022, did not have a function like the measurement of blood oxygen levels, something that has been popularized in smart watches for quite some time and that is almost considered a basic in the specification sheet of these equipment.
The truth is that the benefit was on the watch, but not active, something that has just changed thanks to an update. This is what they say in the forums. Reddit, where they have even uploaded images -like the one you see on these lines- showing that they can already see the SpO2 recording in the Fitbit app that the watch uses. It is curious that Google has not commented on anything official about it, so we cannot know what type of update it is or how long it will take to reach all watches.
What we can at least confirm is that there are users who are already enjoying it, so the rest shouldn’t take too long to do so too.
