• The fenix 7 has a wrist-based pulse oximeter to gauge the peripheral saturation of oxygen in your blood (SpO2). As your altitude increases, the level of oxygen in your blood can decrease. Knowing your oxygen saturation can help you determine how your body is acclimating to high altitudes for alpine sport and expedition. If you have a fenix 7 it provides a VO2 max estimate, you can track your overall cardiovascular fitness directly from the device and from the Garmin Connect app. VO2 max is the maximum volume of oxygen (in milliliters) you can consume per minute per kilogram of body weight at your maximum performance. VO2 max is an indication of aerobic fitness and should increase as your level of fitness improves. For more information please view our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/.
