Question about spo2
Is the local brand smart watch spo2 readings reliable or not? Also Can spo2 decrease up to 90 and get back to 98-99 in a minute? Or that 90 reading will be false as i heard whenever spo2 drops it takes time to get back to normal. And can watch low/half battery also affect spo2 readings.
