I know that if you have the Watch too tight or too loose that you can get a reading like that. Here is a support document with troubleshooting steps. See if this helps you.

What happens when you tap Start after opening the Blood Oxygen app? You should see a 15 second timer after tapping on Start, and you have to wait for that to complete. Can you describe what is happening and what you are seeing. Also, what series of Watch do you have, what version of watchOS you have and what version of iPhone the Watch is paired to. Also, where are you located (country).
