Hi @WazB The Galaxy watch is more of a general wellness and fitness device, not going to be same as a medical monitor and advised not to base decisions solely on the data. some features though can be fairly accurate but there is a margin of error which can fluctate.
It can also come down to the fit and where the watch is worn on your wrist, true medical devices are generally tight and due to the nature of use they clip into place better.
But then there is also the question of the "medical device" you are using is it calibrated and tested for accuracy on a regular basis like at a medical facility or is it a divice purchased from a third party?

However imagine you were not buying the watch solely for one feature. Some information here https://www.sammobile.com/opinion/galaxy-watch-owners-read-this-before-trusting-the-spo2-panel/
