Ladies and gents welcome back to wesknows tech news and reviews
a couple of days ago I made a post about who are we getting the continuous spo2 measurement
well it looks like i've maybe slightly mislead you it's not all of the huawei smartwatch range it
seems to be just a huawei watch fit but actually since we are talking about budget smart watches
this could be a great fit because the watch fit is on huge discounts now i'm not sure why it could
be because of the global pandemic but the fact is when it came out in december 2020 it was actually
sold for a hundred bucks or a hundred pounds you could actually pick it up on amazon now for as
low as 80 bucks or 80 pounds so super budget super smart watch and it has continuous spo2 measurement
so in tonight's review comparison and test we're actually going to be looking at the watch fit
and what it measured in regards to continuous spo2 over saturday night so i'm going to be
comparing it against the garmin venue sq as well as my medical grade continuous
spo2 pulse oximeter let's get into it if you're new to west news tech news and reviews we talk
about the latest tech news we do brutally honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way
i'm really excited about this change because if you think about it continuous sp02 with sp02
that's measured on demand or spot readings well it's just inefficient it's impractical
and it's much more of a gimmick right you'll have to tap on your spo2 measurement all the time to
get a trend or to get some analysis of the actual spo2 so as we get into this comparison and test
i'm going to do a short recap of every product that i will be comparing to and testing versus
the huawei watch fit so let's kick off with the fit so a quick recap of the huawei watch fit
so as i've earlier said it was actually released in december 2020 it brings a huge 1.64 inch amoled
screen it's square shape more rectangular it's got 2.5 d curve glass so the curvature is actually
very slight but it is 2.5 d gorilla glass so it will protect you from those scrapes scratches and
so forth it's got a very rich feature list it's got 12 fitness courses with animated gestures it's
got 96 sport modes all up as well as a dedicated running app so now you've got a full suite it
measures your sleep stages so you deep your light and rem sleep it's actually giving you a sleep
score sleep advice you get stress monitoring and it's continue stress monitoring as well so then
you've got your breathing app and of course now sp02 which is continuous so let's have a look
at the results that the watch fit gave us over saturday night okay so that was a late night and
we can see that i went to sleep somewhere around 4 30 a.m but nonetheless the average resting spo2
was measured at 95 percent that is quite high right we know that as long as the result is over
90 percent that's generally good so the lowest point was measured at 91 percent while the highest
at 98. so the average is 95 now we talked about the frequency of measurements because we had a lot
of questions coming through under the community post when i just put it in as well as under the
video that i posted as soon as i got the actual update to my watch fit so the frequency of the
spo2 measurements is every 10 minutes so now let's talk about garmin veneer skew so we actually put
this multi-sport and very expensive watch which is more than double the price of the huawei watch
fit just to show how accurate huawei watch fit measures your spo2 or your blood oxygen saturation
so here is the garmin veneers q let me do a short recap of what this watch is all about
and then i'll show you the stats that came through on the garment and then we'll follow it
up with the actual medical grade continuous sp02 pulseximeter okay so in regards to the new skew
it's technically a cut down version of an existing model the garmin vnew there were some cut corners
to reduce the price and keep the original venue as the flagship of the two models
nonetheless the sq still has a lot of features to show off something like a 1.3 inch lcd panel
display it's quite light for multi-sport watch it weighs just 39 grams dimensions are quite
square at 37 by 40 by 11 millimeters there's an optical heart rate sensor for continuous
heart rate monitoring with pulse ox ak spo2 or blood oxygen saturation tracking on the back
now here this is quite a good machine because you can choose whether you want the measurements to
be taken during the whole day or at night so with the huawei watch fit we can only do the tracking
during rest hours or during sleep the venue sq also has dual gps with glonass and galileo options
for workout tracking there's also quite advanced features such as the body battery so this is smart
tech that tracks the exercise you perform during the day looks at your heart rate measurements
spo2 and pryonide sleep data to give you a score that represents how much charge you have for the
new day ahead you also get garment pay so you can basically do your nfc or contactless payments so
if we look at the 27th of february or saturday we can see that the garmin venus q actually tracked
and gave us an average spo2 for the night or from 4 30 a.m till about 11 30 a.m while i slept 92
percent so if you remember on the watch fit we had 95 so let's have a look at the pulse oximeter the
medical grade pulse oximeter which will give us a certified version of the spo2 reading
for that night so for that we'll be using the vulu or the viatom sp02 ring let me tell you
about it just a little bit before we get into the test and comparison so the o2 ring is a medical
grade continuous ring oxygen monitor but not only does it show you the spot and continuous pulse
rate and spo2 metrics on the oled touchscreen it also alerts you via vibrations that are adjustable
in strength if it records low oxygen level or abnormal heart rate while you're at rest
or while you're wearing it the great thing about this o2 ring is that there's a free app that comes
along with it and as soon as you put the ring on your finger basically it syncs up to your app and
it doesn't matter if you're using the app on the ios or an android device no difference whatsoever
and it's great for trend analysis every record is being synced and being kept in memory on the app
and if we look at the chart from the spo2 ring we can see that the average recorded was 94 so we've
got garmin venu sq which came up with 92 percent we have the huawei watch feed which came up with
95 and here this is the true version this is a medical grade pulse oximeter which shows you 94
over the hour slept from 4 30 a.m till 11 30 a.m the verdict or the summary of this
particular video the test the comparison is that the huawei watch fit offers a lot of value
it's good dual gps it's got continuous stress testing it's got continuous spo2 measurement
it's got three sleep stages it's got inbuilt storage for your music downloads really all
of that for sub 100 bucks that's a great deal anyways thanks for watching if you did enjoy
