Oura Ring for tracking oxygen saturation

How has Lookee O2 ring been for when you are moving? I am experimenting in different situations.
1) Sleeping I get a good O2 report
2) Walking on level surface outside I get reasonable readings that are believable. It only vibrates once in a awhile
3) However, when I get on a treadmill, the Lookee O2 ring is very unhappy. It vibrates constantly. I keep my hand steady on the armrest and I am not going fast. But the Lookee ring gives me extremely low readings. At the same time my finger oximeters are giving me readings above 90.
I am wondering if the extreme readings on the treadmill are caused by motion. What has been your experience?

Exercising with Lookee Tech Sleep Pro Oximeter
My pulmonologist told me to wear my oximeter on the tip of my thumb for the best readings. When I walk/jog I keep my arms straight down or slightly bent. If I bend my thumb too much or move my hands excessively I don't get accurate readings. I exercise with my Apple Watch and oximeter on my left wrist and thumb so I can monitor my heart rate and oxygen level during exercise. This setup works well for me. I have attached pictures. My diastolic heart failure causes my oxygen to drop when my heart rate gets too high and I start having arrhythmias.
I was also advised by Lookee Tech that sunlight will damage the Sleep Pro sensor, so I keep it covered when I am outdoors.
