Isn't this a bigger problem involving all pulse oximeters?

It was at least two years ago that I first heard that the darker you are, the more likely you will get a false high reading on one.

This is largely about how Apple Watch pulse oximetry feature was marketed vs. how pulse oximetry actually works, so, without taking a position on the merits of the suit, it is quite possible for Apple to legitimately be in the wrong here and other sellers of pilse oximeters not to be, even if Apple Watch pulse oximetry works exactly like pulse oximetry generally.

Is it not possible to design a pulse oximeter that's calibrated to different skin colors?

Not hard to believe. I honestly hope Apple doesn't get taken to the cleaners over this

My wife has Garmin with pulse oximeter (Venu Sq). I wonder how that feature passed any testing at all since it's next to useless. On white skin btw.
