try Lazada

Most smartwatch and fitness trackers have that built in. It may not be 100% accurate like a hospital but would give you a good indication.

 

Mine also gives temp reading too and warns if that raises.

Actually lets you know your blood oxygen saturation which is a good indicator for other illness as well, they were designed for that well before covid hit prime time.

Quite, but I'm sure some people have no need for it except buying just in case of covid

Seems a hell of a jump from 79Baht to 500++. Any idea if the more expnsive ones are more reliable/accurate? All the cheaper ones are from the same company - Docooler, if that means anything

LoL, I wish delivery were that quick here in Laos.  I ordered one from Aliexpress (Lazada doesn't deliver to Laos).  With the suspension of the Lao postal service, I just received the package - it was posted last April!!  I still don't know how it got here, because the international postal service is still suspended....

Don't buy the <deleted> for 79 baht.

Don't use your smart watch,  very unreliable.

Read up on how to use it, I think there once were posts on TVF, there also is YouTube by Dr Mike Hansen.

Since I am in high risk category, and already monitoring temperature and BP I thought it might be a good idea to get an oximeter
