Doesn’t it use the Siri voice?

You're absolutely right to be confused—here’s the full story, updated as of mid-2025: 🔴 Blood Oxygen on Apple Watch was restricted—but only recently, and only for Series 9 and Ultra 2 sold after January 18, 2024 in the United States. ✅ Here’s the current situation: Apple Watches with blood oxygen measurement still available in the U.S.: Apple Watch Series 6, 7, 8 – ✔️ Blood Oxygen works normally Apple Watch Ultra (1st gen) – ✔️ Blood Oxygen works normally Apple Watch SE (1st and 2nd gen) – 🚫 Never included a blood oxygen sensor Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 sold before Jan 18, 2024 – ✔️ Blood Oxygen works normally Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 sold after Jan 18, 2024 in the U.S. – ❌ Blood Oxygen feature is disabled 🧾 Why was it disabled? This is due to a patent dispute between Apple and a medical tech company called Masimo over the blood oxygen (SpO₂) sensor technology. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled in Masimo's favor, leading to a temporary import ban of new Apple Watches with that feature. Apple responded by: Removing the Blood Oxygen app and disabling the sensor in affected U.S. models of Series 9 and Ultra 2 starting January 2024. Selling modified versions without SpO₂ in the U.S., while international models are unaffected. 🔍 How to check if your Apple Watch supports Blood Oxygen If you're buying a Series 9 or Ultra 2 and want the Blood Oxygen feature: Buy an international version, or Buy a U.S. model manufactured before January 2024 You can check your Apple Watch's capabilities by going to: Watch app > My Watch > Privacy > Health > Blood Oxygen If the feature is missing entirely, you're likely using a restricted model. Let me know if you want help identifying a specific watch or locating one with SpO₂ enabled.         Richard, USA, "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian." -- Pope Francis   My web site: https://www.turner42.com/   From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alex Stone Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2025 12:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Replacement for IWatch:   My point exactly!   On Thu, 17 Jul 2025 at 20:17, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: Why would you want to, to my knowledge all current models of the apple Watch like series 10 and Ultra 2 are available to purchase in the United States. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2025 6:12 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Replacement for IWatch: Is there a way you can buy one from another country?
