Blood Oxygen App missing

I just purchased the Watch 6 for the Blood Oxygen app.


After pairing to my phone, I went to the Watch and could not find the app. I even set up the watch with a complication to start the app. I tapped on it and nothing. Then I read that you have to set it up on the phone. So I went to the Health app and Respiratory section, but no Blood Oxygen listing.


If you try to get the app on the watch from the App Store it says that it Requires an iPhone, but when you go to the App Store from the phone, it says that it is for Watch only.


From the article linked below, it seems that you can get the app from the App Store on the watch after you have set it up in the Health App on the phone, however there is no way to set up on the phone, thus it looks like we will not have the Blood oxygen app on our Watch 6's, the main reason for purchasing them.
