Oura Ring for tracking oxygen saturation

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.

Thanks! That is an interesting way to wear. I have been puttin on my right thumb above mid joint with long part pointing away from wrist. I have wondered if the long part should be pointing to my wrist.
Good point about sunlight

I have the Wellue O2ring Pulse Oximeter - it's pricy $179 on Amazon but they usually have coupon with money off. It works great and if you sleep with it on it vibrates if your oxygen goes below 88.
I've had mine for a couple years now and it still works great. I also like it for exercising because it vibrates when oxygen goes low. I've worn on thumb or index finger and it works on both.
