Apple watch with no Blood Oxygen (SPO2) - would you still buy
So its possible that due to current legal dispute with Masimo, it might require Apple to remove blood oxygen readings from the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 being sold, and potentially have to update current watches to remove that setting - currenlty only likely applicable in USA for the moment.
Of course from reports I have read it seems as though Apple is trying to wait this out as have asked for another stay of excecution which supposedly the regulating body is against - and I suspect they will continue to try wait out until launch of Apple Watch 10.
But, and this is probably a big but - if they do have to make changes to continue selling and allowing users to use the watch would the removal of SPO2 make you change your mind about an apple watch.
Note - I don't own one, and am unlikely to ever own one, though I do consider them really good, but I can't live with that battery life amd prefer android to iPhone, however I have to admit I seldom use SPO2 readings and for me it wouldn't be a don't buy/sell watch to get one that does have SPO2 - I am curious if you feel the same way.
