If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know how to disable blood oxygen monitoring on your Apple Watch. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Apple Watch app and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom of the main screen and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see a list of devices under “Devices.” Click on “Apple Watch” in that list and then click on “Disable Blood Oxygen Monitoring.”
  4. The app will ask for your password, which you’ll need to provide if you’re using a different device (like an iPhone). After clicking on “Disable Blood Oxygen Monitoring,” your Apple Watch will stop tracking blood oxygen levels and will start tracking heart rate instead.
