Dear all,

As everyone is aware of situation of pandemic in India, I believe samsung galaxy active and samsung watch 3 have all the necessary sensors to have measurement of blood oxygen.

In wake of this I would urge samsung to release a patch to allow it to be activated as it was done already for many European and IS countries urgently.

Regards

Timon, today this feature is not activated for India users and few other countries despite sensor being ready to provide. I understand this is a software update that needs to be deploued along with government agreement.

If there is any way to do for these watch, request anyone to share it here the steps.

Hey, it is activated in India.
There is a SPO2 option in the Samsung health app on the watch, please give it a look.

Thanks khushallshah
There is an option in the health app, but not in the Active 2 which I am possessing. EkG and blood pressure are also supposedly available but do not work.
Request Samsung to comment.
There is also just a parallel thread started on same.

Samsung India is investing in India on manufacturing, should really see if they can help on releasing these functionalities asap...
