Hello, I just bought a Galaxy Watch3 and am wondering if the blood oxygen sensor is activated in Canada. Before I bought it, I read a lot of reviews of folks saying it wasn't available in their country. After playing with the watch for a day, I have yet to find the option to use it in Health. I remember my old S9 was able to take these readings.

Stress / SpO2 / ECG / Blood Pressure are not available in Canada yet (For whatever reasons). 

 

If you search this forum, many posts have been discussed and some of them have a link to youtube that can get ECG and Blood Pressure working without changing firmware. But not for Stress app and SpO2 app.

Thank you Tallman for your information.

Hey MrSt3wy,

The Sp02 sensor is not supported on Galaxy watch3 in Canada.

It really sizucks because it was dead on when literally compared side by side with hospital equipment to see what the variance would be and it was either dead on or off by +/- 2 for bpm and O2 was same. Don't know why it lost certification in Canada.
