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.

Good but you should know,
This review is from: MioPINK Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Two Straps (Sports)
I have read the other reviews for several Mio strapless heart rate watches and I have basicly the same experience and positive review. Very good product but your body must be still to get your heart rate and wait about 6 seconds (this is why only 4 stars rating). It reads out the HR and the percent of max. However, it won't display anywhere what your personal max rate it is using. You most do some math yourself to find what number the Mio is using. I want to know because I know what target I should be using for my circumstances. Your max HR is different for land based x, shallow water x, and deep water x. I do all three forms of exercise. For some you maybe interested to know the second black/pink band that comes with the package is smaller and fits only the smallest of wrists.

Great heart rate monitor - as long as you aren't working out,

This review is from: MioPINK Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Two Straps (Sports)
I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this heart rate monitor. I wanted a monitor without the chest strap, and of the available options, the Mio appeared to be the highest rated and best value.
The watch fits me ok. The solid pink strap was to big for my wrist, so I use the smaller black and pink strap. I consider myself to be of "medium" build, my wrist mesures 6.5 inches on the spot where I wear the watch, and it fits with a few notches to spare. The monitor itself is very large (to be expected) and does not sit flush against my wrist, leaving gaps on the top and bottom. While this isn't exactly fashionable, it is not uncomfortable. The heart rate monitor is very easy to use if I am still and dry. It appears to be rather accurate, and is very close to the reading on the gym cardio machines. Once I get into my workout and start to sweat, it becomes increasingly difficult to get a reading. I have to stop, take the watch off, dry it, and stand still to measure my heart rate. Even then, it is not very consistent, and often gives a "half reading". By the time I have gotten a reading, I am sure my heart rate has dropped significantly, and I have to get back into my workout high again. It can be frustrating if you are trying to keep your heart rate within a certain level. I consider my workouts to be on the more intense side, so it is possible this would suit lighter workouts just fine. The only additional function I utilize is the workout timer, which also tracks the amount of calories burned. The timer, while very useful, appears to be 2-3 seconds faster than the gym cardio machines (and this holds true with all machines I have tried). The burned-calorie tracker, which works automatically when you start the cardio timer, is always significantly lower than the cardio machine's tracker. I'm not sure which one is more accurate, but after an hour, there is usually a 100 calorie difference. All in all, this watch has been disappointing. As much as I do not want to wear a chest strap, it looks like that is really the only option if you want an accurate reading all the time. I would recommend this for someone looking to track the heart rate throughout the day or during very mild exercise, but that's about it.

Disappointed with the strap,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MioPINK Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Two Straps (Sports)
I purchased this item primarily for the pink and black strap (as opposed to the other colors available for this item from Amazon). I had read the reviews that said the strap was for small wrists, which I have, but, the strap is SO SMALL that only a child or a teen could comfortably wear it. (And I don't know of any children or teens who care enough about their heart rate to spend $50 on *this* watch.) I can't imagine what the mfr was thinking. The watch itself is okay. The heart rate monitor is super easy to use, but the set up and entry buttons are a little awkward -- it's much easier to do it if you're not wearing the watch, which, if you're using the calorie counter throughout the day, is a pain.
