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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still needs some work, September 29, 2006
This review is from: Mio Sport Select Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
I read many reviews on this watch, and the one thing that I saw over and over was the complaint that the HR wouldn't display during an activity, such as running. The runner had to stop to get a reading. I took a chance since I would either be walking or on an exercise bike, but lo! I'm even having the problem while walking and while simply sitting on my exercise bike with my legs pushing the pedals. I rarely get a reading while still exercising at a very moderate rate. It seems the watch only cooperates when I'm still.

Despite this problem, I like the watch. All the features work well, aren't too hard to program, and work well for me. The watch is bulky and quite large on a smaller wrist, but there is a lady's version available. I made sure to buy the Mio that offers the interchangeable strap, which is a good thing. One other reviewer complained about the strap breaking on another Mio with no way to replace it. I can see how that would happen over time. The plastic used on the band is rigid and with the bending of putting the watch on every day, it appears it won't take long for the plastic to break.

Overall, I find it to be an acceptable HR monitor with limitations that some, however, might find unacceptable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for use at work, December 15, 2007
By 
John (South Dakota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mio Sport Select Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
I got one of these watches a couple of years ago, a slightly different Mio model, but overall I have been pleased at how well it works with respect to the heart monitor aspect. I always wanted to know my heart rate when walking at work, but the chest strap thing was just not workable, so I was excited to find this watch. It really does give a accurate reading as I have checked it often against commercial teadmills with the chest strap. I have used it walking outdoors at lunch at work, as well as on a treadmill at work and just walking around the building. It really helps me keep in the "zone" that I'm shooting for, and is great because I have never been able to successfully take my own pulse using the fingers against the neck or on the wrist.

It usually is easier to get readings in the summer months than winter because up here in the north one's skin and fingers can be very dry and it requires some moisture both on your arm and your fingers to be able to get a reading. Often I can just breathe on my fingers and that provides enough moisture to make the reading possible. I was originally very skeptical that this could work at all, since nearly everything that measured a pulse used that chest strap thingy, but this watch really does do the job.

While I have no problems taking a reading while walking on the treadmill or outside, I do agree that a lot of body movement can make it more difficult to hold one's fingers on the sensors. It usually takes me about two or so seconds to get a reading, depending on the circumstances.

Unlike the chest strap stuff, you can take a reading on this watch at any time, so if you are climbing the stairs at work to get some exercise, you can take a reading when you get to the top to see how hard your heart has had to work to get you there. I even used it in a meeting once when I got really stressed out and it showed measurably by an accelerated pulse as measured by the Mio! Imagine the fun you could have while stuck in a massive traffic jam, watching your pulse soar into the "red zone" just sitting in your car! Or taking your pulse at the airport after you have been told your flight has been cancelled. Seriously, though, I have found that my pulse and my stress levels are related in that high stress always gives me a faster pulse, even at rest. When I see that, I try to take action to lower my stress level and thus my pulse. Sometimes you can be stressed out and not really realize it until you see your pulse racing when it should not be. Your heart is a lot smarter than you give it credit for! So for me I have a "low pulse" goal that I strive for as well, and when I am near it, usually at home relaxing, I know my stress is under control and I am doing well. I have found with this watch that the lower the pulse rate I get, the happier I am at that particular time more often than not. To me the Mio proves that stress is more than just in one's mind. It has a physiological affect on your body as well, almost all negative!

Considering the modest cost of the unit, combined with not having to worry about bulky and expensive chest straps, especially at work, and that you can always have it handy to use, I'd say I'm happy with the watch. The only thing I would add to this would be what my other watch I own has: automatic setting by the NIST atomic clocks (over the air) each day to keep the time perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars a bit on the bulky side but I like it, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Mio Sport Select Heart Rate Watch (Sports)
I just bought it from the Walmart where I live, because it was the same price as on here $39.99,there was only one left, I thought it was a reasonable price, seems to work as it says it does, this one counts the calories you burn during exercise base on your age,and weight,but doesn't have the calorie input,and set calorie goal like the other little more expensive mio model, but I dont really need it,I think it would be too much work to punch in the calories I eat for each food etc. probably easier to write it down.

I read the review about not being able to use the light when you get the heart rate results, but the way around it is to Press the light button first then check your heart rate,and the light will stay continuously on till you take your fingers off the contacts,even then it stays on for about 5-10sec sec after taking your fingers off.

I haven't had trouble with getting a reading, you have to make sure the watch is snug on your wrist because it uses the metal backing too as a contact+your fingers on the two sensors, if you just touch the two sensors and your skin isn't also touching the metal backing of the watch you won't get a reading!
so make sure its a snug fit.
