Sleep Apnea Feature

[bennett22]

Hi, has anyone used the sleep apnea feature with the 7 or ultra? I tried it with my 7 and after 2 nights of no readings and making adjustments as it says not to wear it over the wrist bone, I finally positioned the watch itself under my wrist for 2 nights and it gave a reading that said there were no issues detected, just not sure if I can trust it. as a cdl holder, I need to have a d.o.t. medical card renewed every 2 years even though I am not a professional driver, I repair/maintain them. at my last renewal, because of my weight , they wouldn't give me a full renewal without a sleep apnea test and gave me a website to order some at home test equipment, even though the samsung one is fda approved. just trying to use the samsung feature to see if I have anything to worry about as the results are dependent on how long my card gets renewed for.

I've tried the feature a couple different times...no issue. It would be nice if the FMCSA would accept your Samsung Health report vs a sleep study. (I understand you're not trying to use the Watch 7 readings to pass the medical exam.)

I know, wishful thinking on my part lol. I don't think I'll have any issues with the test equipment I have to buy, I just wanted to get a head start and see if I actually have any issues that would keep me from passing under their parameters, as it would limit me to either having a normal 2 year renewal, 1 year renewal, or a cpap needed to pass . I only used the samsung health monitor app with the apnea feature, I'll download the samsung health app and run that with the health monitor and see if I get a different result as the monitor doesn't give a graph, just the no issues detected
