Good Pulse-Ox, CMS50F $98.29 on eBay

I paid $95 last year for this wrist-watch style, data capturing Pulse-Oximeter last year. It saves your pulse rate and blood oxygen level data all night long and uses a rechargeable battery. A charger comes with it that you can plug into the wall to use standard 120 volt ac power. Previous night's recorded pulse-ox data needs to be downloaded to the provided product software daily. A provided cable allows connecting the unit to your computer USB port. Software is provided via online download and I also received it on a CD that came in the package.

The "Buy-it-Now" price on eBay for this model, Contec CMS50F, is $97.29, free shipping. What's extra nice about it is that some of us on the board here have enjoyed being able to integrate this pulse-ox's nightly saved data into SleepyHead software and view our pulse rate and oxygen graphs in tandem with all the standard SleepyHead graphs. The instruction set I use is shown in my signature line below. (For me it clarifies instructions I've seen in the manual that seemed to have been written in China by someone who was still learning English, and reflects a number of operating nuances that over time I learned "by doing".) I try to keep it updated it from time to time and suggestions are always welcome.

Note: As needed, the pulse-oxygen data and graphs, along with the standard SleepyHead graphs, can be printed out. As these graphs are not produced by Encore, ResScan, etc., the manufacturers of xpap equipment, they're not considered "official" medical stuff, but if my oxygen dips awfully low, that wouldn't put me off in at least showing them for discussion.

Anyway, I was surprised to see it available at about the same price as I think I read that they had raised the price at the Chinese firm, so thought I'd flag it for those interested who like to buy on eBay.

Google Contec CMS50F to review the full feature description and other pricing. Prices appear to have come down for pulse-oximeters in general. However, it also appears that the lower prices are for greatly "stripped down" models compared to the one discussed above.
