Blood Oxygen App I can't download this on my Apple Watch Series 5. Both my iPhone and Watch are updated to latest Os (14) already. When I try to download via iPhone, it says can only be downloaded on Watch. When I try to do it on my Watch, it says needs iPhone.

Blood oxygen app I was trying to download Apple’s blood oxygen app but I cannot find it in the App Store on my watch. When I search for it on my phone, I find it but then it tells me it can only be downloaded on the watch. My watch is updated and is supposed to be able to do this. Thank you

Because the watch needs an extra hardware sensor that only the watch6 has.
