Apple made the announcement in a short press release on Thursday. The company says the feature is "redesigned," and will roll out to Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users through a software update later today.
Apple says a recent U.S. Customs ruling enabled the company to turn the monitors back on. The company had counter-sued Masimo, claiming that the Masimo had infringed on Apple patents. A Delaware jury agreed in October 2024 that Masimo had indeed infringed two of these patents.

In order to access the redesigned Blood Oxygen sensor, you will need to update your compatible watch to watchOS 11.6.1, and your iPhone to iOS 18.6.1. You can find updates for both in Settings > General > Software Update.
This tool can be helpful, but it isn't necessarily medical-grade. As Lifehacker Senior Health Editor Beth Skwarecki explains, the metrics you receive aren't all that enlightening without a doctor's input—and that doctor would likely rely on their own equipment to analyze your health.
