=Octive Tech CEN=
This is one of the cheapest pulse oximeters I found, and provides the basic functions adequately. It will display current [[SpO2|SpO<sub>2</sub>]] and heart rate[[Heart Rate]], and is easy to use. It doesn't have the more advanced features of the CMS-60C or CMS-50E, such as values overnight or interfacing to a computer. I use a similar pulse oximeter to record my [[Resting Heart Rate]] each morning.

=CMS-60C=
This is a significantly more expensive and more sophisticated pulse oximeter. Unlike most pulse oximeters the main unit and the fingertip sensor are separate. I find this makes it much easier to use for altitude training [[Altitude Training]] as there is little weight on the fingertip. Like cheaper pulse oximeters, the CMS-60C will display current [[SpO2|SpO<sub>2</sub>]] and heart rate[[Heart Rate]], but it will also record the values for up to 24 hours. However, the biggest advantage of the CMS-60C is that it will interface to a computer. I have written some custom software, the [[Hypoxic Timer]], that helps record and evaluate [[Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure]] training. The CMS-60C sensor is also easily replaceable, which is nice.
