About Mio
The story of Mio began in 1999 when it was created by entrepreneur and mother of three, Liz Dickinson. Like many of us, Liz balances family and career, leaving little time for fitness. After several unsuccessful attempts to achieve her fitness goals and shed the pregnancy weight-gain of her third child, Liz turned to a personal trainer for advice. While working with a trainer, Liz realized the key to getting in shape and staying in shape is to practice smart eating habits, monitoring calorie intake, and using a heart rate monitor to ensure that she exercises at the right level. Liz realized there wasn't a product available on the market that would easily help her follow her trainer’s advice.
Liz didn't have time to read labels and carry a calorie journal in her purse, nor did she have much patience for the uncomfortable chest strap she had to wear to get her heart rate. She knew there had to be a better way, so Liz used her technology and marketing savvy to create Mio, the world’s first heart rate monitor to work without a chest strap. And, it didn't stop with just heart rate, as Mio also has a patented calorie management system that offers a straightforward approach to managing your diet. With the help of Mio and a balanced diet, Liz was able to shed those unwanted pounds and gain the benefits that come with improved fitness: more energy, more vitality, and less stress, and help many others do the same with the creation of Mio's products.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I would buy it again!,
By Emily (Modesto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mio Shape Select Petite Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
The Mio Petite Select Heart Rate Monitor has been so much fun for me! I was looking for a strapless heart rate monitor watch, and was so pleased to find this one at such a great price, especially considering the free shipping. I didn't have any real interest in the calorie tracking portion of it, but have found that now I count my calories almost every day because it is so easy to do with this watch. It helps you decide how many calories to set as your daily goal, and as you eat throughout the day, you plug the info in to the watch and it keeps the tally. An alarm goes off when you exceed your caloric limit. Of course it's easy to sneak some snacks in here and there without telling the watch :). Also, if you check your heart rate during exercise, you it calculates how many calories you burn when it is set in chrono mode. You have the option of subtracting the calories you burn from your daily calorie tally. The other day I exercised before I ate breakfast and subtracted the calories burned -- it was very inspiring to see a negative under "calories in." Also, I would recommend getting the book "The Doctor's Pocket Calorie Fat & Carb Counter." It has been very helpful to use in conjunction with this watch. It is 4.5 inches by 6 inches and about 3/4 inch thick so I can carry it easily in my purse. It has almost every chain restaurant's calorie info and almost every food product info as well. It has been a real eye-opener for me, and has helped me make better choices in eating. I have lost several pounds already using this method.
My only complaint about this monitor is sometimes it has a hard time calculating your heart rate if your fingers are cold at the beginning of your workout, or if you have your hand above the level of the heart. There are so many positives about this product, though, and I would rather deal with these negatives than wearing an uncomfortable heart rate monitor strap around my chest. I hope you purchase and enjoy it, too! P.S. - There are many other options for replacement watch straps if you're not into the light blue and dark gray combo. I have found a nice solid color gray/silver one online.

Great basics, but the extra features too much of a hassle,
By
This review is from: Mio Shape Select Petite Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
The main reason I purchased this watch was to have something to monitor my heart rate while I exercised, without bothering with a chest strap. This watch definitely lets me do that, although I occasionally have to try repeatedly before getting a reading.
However, most of the extra features are far too awkward and time consuming to be worth using for me -- the modes for tracking calories consumed and burned just take more effort than they are worth for my lifestyle. And even though this is the 'petite' model, it was simply too bulky to feel comfortable on my wrist. That said, it is by far the most convenient way I've found of monitoring my heart rate while exercising, and so I'm glad to have it. If I was going to purchase one of these again, though, I'd probably go for one of the simpler, less expensive models.

Works fine, if you're sitting still.,
This review is from: Mio Shape Select Petite Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
I bought this watch to replace the HR monitor I use currently, which needs a strap around my chest that I hate and wish I didn't have to use. This one is strapless but what the description doesn't indicate is that you have to press and hold buttons on the watch with two fingers for a number of seconds for it to register a heart rate. In other words, it doesn't continuously record your heart rate, but rather collects "samples" whenever you press on the buttons, and then averages those samples, which, depending on your dilligence and ability to use one or no hands during your workout, may or may not give you a realistic picture of your cardio efforts overall.
Well, I'm a runner, and using the watch during my workout proved that its nearly useless. While I can easily run and press two fingers to my wrist simultaneously, the watch could not seem to register my heart rate unless I was standing still and had my wrist held at a specific angle. This was incredibly disruptive to my workout, and when all was said and done, I was only able to record three heart rates. Of those, the average computed was far below what my older monitor reports to me. I've returned the watch, and I'll stick with the chest strap.
