Cheap home depot version
 
The one i have is a kiddie i believe. Pretty fancy in that you can push a button for an immediate scan and a digital readout of ppm. The chirp is very shrill. One time on a long cross country during one leg we had a chirp...vented cockpit and started working it... Low battery signal.. haha.

Anyway, plenty loud. For $30 cant imagine why anyone would not have one in their plane. Cheap and decent quality insurance. CO has brought down several birds i believe.

Apple Watch
 
Here is a blurb on the Apple Watch oximeter. . . not a true oximeter, but a plethysmograph that can function as an oximeter.
"It would seem Apple Watch?s heart rate monitor is much more intelligent than Apple is letting on. Not only can it read your pulse, but it?s also capable of measuring blood oxygen ? a feature Apple could enable in a future Watch update." (software)
"iFixit suggests this could be due to FDA regulations, and if that?s the case, we could see the feature activated in a future Watch update once Apple has received the necessary approvals."Killian Bell 2015
I hope it does happen, full time oxygen monitoring would be nice. (YMMV)
