Measure the level of oxygen taken up in the blood with the Apple Watch Series 6 Blood Oxygen Wellness App-Apple Support
Apple Watch Series 6 is the only current model equipped with a blood oxygen wellness sensor. Therefore, at the time of writing the article, Series 6 is the only Apple Watch that can use the blood oxygen wellness app.
The Series 6 rear sensor (left) has an integrated blood oxygen wellness sensor, which makes it look different than the Apple Watch SE (right), which does not have a blood oxygen wellness sensor.

From this LED cluster, green and red LEDs and infrared LEDs are radiated to the blood vessels of the wrist, and the amount of reflected light is measured by the photodiode. It seems that it is a mechanism to measure the oxygen concentration in the blood by reading it.

Blood oxygen levels are It may fluctuate throughout the day. ”It seems that there is an abnormality when the measured value is 95% or less.
