I am looking for an oximeter that can be read in full sunlight to measure while on outside walks. How does this unit perform in that environment?

I checked the Oximeter in the sunlight and found that if I tilt the meter slightly I couild read it fine.

Its not gonna affected the measurement while you are in the full sunlight area.

The unit works well for me in my trailer on site in the woods of Vt as long as the sun is shining and you are kind of facing a southerly direction so you get as much sun as possible. I do not know what to expect if you are on the road and traveling.

It seems to depend upon whether you are using the outdoor sensor or not. Because the unit is usually in a furnace room, it will naturally read slightly differently than in an open space.

Yes. Honestly, I don't know if I got a bad Oximeter but mine only gave me about 5 uses before it broke :/ I threw it away

I did not have any trouble seeing the picture on the screen in sunlight. I just shot over 170 photos outside and it worked fine.

It works great in direct sunlight; very easy to read, no noticeable difference. Great product.

It performs very well in low light, but not in a total darkness. It is not weatherproof.

I have the black one. It is pretty easy to see for me,but being that your screen name is biker Bill I'm not sure for your scenario being in direct sun light. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful I can say it's a pretty good watch the barometer is off alittle bit but you can compensate for the error the tempt is way off until you take the watch off Good luck be safe shotot straight

Hi there, like all optical devices you should never look directly into the sun, but for all all of that it is a wonderful piece of equipment, a must for serious shooters & hunters, I hope this helps. kind regards.

No use using it at all once it quits reading accurately. Mine quit working after a few months. If it works at all, it can be used outside as well as inside. It uses batteries.

Just to add a bit more. I wear it to wake me up at night if my O2 drops to low. You can set what % the alarm goes off at. I spent 3 days last spring in a coma when my O2 crashed in my sleep, this meter wakes me or my wife up before that happens again. Pin point accuracy isn't important for me as long as it saves my life, which so far, so good.

Yes you can take the reading while you're walking.My best advice to you is if you haven't already,DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.I WAS ON MY 3RD ONE & IT DIED AGAIN.TIRED OF SENDING IT BACK SO I JUST WROTE IT OFF AS A LOSE. PIECE OF JUNK.EXSPECTED BETER FROM TIMEX.

It's good for both indoor and outdoor use. It's not as as good as the little Nook Simple touch for outdoor reading because that is strickly with no backlighting. I take my simple touch to the pool and park all the time. But for the HD+ it does work outdoors fine but I find it's less easy to manage and tote around if you're going to ball games or other places. But I still bring it because I can use my kindle app to read books from amazon as well as my ones from Barnes and noble.

I suggest a short test run in an open to air area. When I set it without my glasses, I set it wrong. It did what I had set, though. When I set it with my glasses on, it performed fine. The time setting dial is hard to read. If the test does not work properly, exchange the unit. When it works right, it is effective

Does it make mistakes and sometimes lead you to a closed down or gravel road? Infrequently but it does and all other brands will too. I use mine all of time for touring and it works great. Regarding the screen, I'm shocked at how readable it IS in full sun turned up bright all of the way.

I haven't used it for reading but don't see why that would be a problem. I use it for up close carpentry work, etc. My favorite feature, though, is it's focused light for distance outside.
