I've been using one of these more for resting HR/recovery for running, but I do keep one on in my flight bag too. keeping a baseline for pulse/02 has helped me not train too hard on days I have a higher HR. The o2 seems to vary a bit but 98-99 seems pretty much the norm.
Not sure if there is any correlation between HR and O2 but I have a pretty low resting HR in the 36-40 range (I run a fair amount and cycle some too) but when I am 36-37 I am usually 98% but at 38+ I go to 99%.
I thought about installing the Guardian unit in my plane, but at $1K seems pretty steep steep and I can buy a lot of the portables for that :-)
