Any suggestions for a band or a watch that monitors SPO2/O2 levels in real time or maybe in a gap of few seconds? Same applies for heart rate.
I have Apple Watch, heart rate can be measured using third party app but no option for O2 monitor.
Checked Whoop band - it’s expensive because of subscription and still not doing a real time readings.
Any other suggestions?
Every 30 mins
The later model Apple Watches monitor O2 levels
Not in real time
Yes, it can measure O2 on demand.
Yes, but not on its own. Like while sleeping it doesn’t offer a capability to measure every 30 seconds or a minute.
The Garmin ones do it
Your answers to other posters suggests that what you want is to be able to continuously monitor O2 levels.
What your watch does is this:
The Blood Oxygen app periodically measures your blood oxygen level throughout the day if background measurements are turned on, but you can also take an on-demand measurement at any time.
It doesn't seem to define "periodically", but since you've made this post, I assume that the period doesn't meet your requirements.
or maybe in a gap of few seconds
It appears that the O2 measument takes 15 seconds.
On demand - not possible during sleep.
Regular interval - is 30/15 mins for Apple Watch.
Requirement - capture the data every few seconds, if it takes 15 second, then let’s say every 15/30 seconds max
Watch - not good enough and no setting to measure every 30 second or so, and on its own.
Apple Watch!
Watches report questionable results for blood oxygen. Buy a better quality Oximeter with OLED display and better accuracy. $20 on Banggood for a JUMPER JPD-500E used in hospitals !

https://getwellue.com/pages/o2ring-oxygen-monitor is a good unit. I got one to track my sp02 when I sleep.
I'm a Garmin fan, and my Fenix 6 Pro keeps me dialed in to my O2 and heart rate 24/7. It's a bit pricey, but the features are top-notch. Plus, it's built like a tank for those rugged adventures.
