Blood oxygen does not show up in health app

the Blood Oxygen app does not appear in the Health app which prevents me from accessing it on the Apple Watch. Any suggestions? I have the new Apple 6 watch.

I never got a response other than because I was using IOS 4.2 beta that it not compatible. After many efforts, I was finally able to revert back to 4.0, upgraded to 4.1 and the oxygen app works great. I hope that helps.

I did but step 1 states:

Follow the onscreen steps. If you don't see a prompt to set up, tap the Browse tab, then tap Respiratory > Blood Oxygen > Set up Blood Oxygen.

However, Blood Oxygen does not appear as shown in screenshots.

Are you in country that supports the blood oxygen?

Are you over 18?

Is the watch been set up by family set up?
