Bood Oxygen Tracking
My Apple Watch, Series 6 stopped tracking blood oxygen. I can perform an on demand reading, but the watch won't track automatically throughout the day. What's wrong?

I could be that it's not snug against your wrist.
Mine doesn't work if my wrist is twisted a bit-- it's sometimes doesn't work when I twist my wrist to look at it, but it works when my wrist is pointed away. This all seemed to change when I switched bands.
There's some good information here, about half-way down:

I'll try snugging up the wristband. The strange thing is I get reliable readings when I take a reading on demand but no readings otherwise. Also, the watch was tracking the O2 levels normally up until November when it quit suddenly. Thanks for the help.
Yeah-- my problem was the opposite-- it worked when I walked with my arms down, but it didn't always work when I did it manually, because I twisted my wrist to look at it. Crazy.
