The Withings Pulse O2 monitor does all the activity monitor basics and then some: It measures steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, sleep quality and pulse. But what makes this device special is its elevation monitor and [blood oxygen sensor](http://www.techlicious.com/guide/8-gadgets-to-improve-your-mind-body/ "undefined") aimed at climbing enthusiasts and asthmatics. Withings is clearly tapping into a limited market – so far, oxygen sensors are far from standard activity monitor features. If keeping an eye on your oxygen saturation level (SPO2) comes at a premium to you, then the price here sounds just about right. The Withings Pulse O2 is currently available through [Withings.com](http://withings.com/ "undefined") for $119.95\.
