Why does Apple still have the blood oxygen compilation in there lineup? Discussion
The small things really bug me sometimes. Part of it is my ocd but whatever.

I think a better question is “why does the blood oxygen feature shown up in various places in watchOS, in regions where it is not usable?”
I understand that the feature is only available in certain regions…and the watch understands this as well, as when you try to interact with it in complications, within app list/grid, etc., it will tell you “The Blood Oxygen app is no longer available. Learn more in the Health app on your iPhone.”
I suppose it’s insignificant, but I was surprised that they didn’t just remove reference to the feature on devices that are in regions where it’s unavailable.

It is insignificant, but yeah still bugs me. Thanks for clarifying, I actually thought it was unavailable outright everywhere.
