Can the Oxygen level detection be set to continuous monitoring during an activity ?

Can the Apple Watch 6 be set to have Pulse oximeter reading and recording of data continue in real time during for a specified period of time lets say for 1-4 minutes continuous or even better for extended periods up to 30 minutes? Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Thank you for the reply. Do you know if the pulse Ox measurement is predicated upon absolute cessation of all motion by the accelerometer or GPS noting if the person is moving and then will not allow for a reading? As Example if a person were floating in the water at the surface, not swimming, but wanted to read Ox levels after a breath hold dive to see if their saturations have returned to normal before another dive, would that be possible? Thank you for any insights. I believe there is a use for the Pulse ox that many may not realize.
