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
I would update to 6 stars if I could!!!,
By Jenna sais quoi (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MioPINK Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
Here's my review as a long-term Mio user. I didn't erase my initial gut reaction, which is below it.
As time goes on, I love this thing more and more. I actually wear it pretty consistently- but then, I have an active job, as opposed to lugging it around in an office setting. I can't go to the gym without it. I would re-rate it 6 stars, if I could. It's a lot more user-friendly than my old Polar monitor. I do occasionally miss the chest strap, when I am doing things like rowing and cycling, but I guess it's extra incentive to become more coordinated. People do ask you about it, particularly when you wear it with the eye-catching colored straps. I had one guy come up to me and ask me if I was wearing a wrist communicator, and I am pretty sure we were miles away from the nearest Star Trek convention. It's called "Motiva" for a reason- not only does it motivate me, my exercise buddies now ask me "How many calories have we burned?" instead of "What time is it?" and are now shopping for Motivas of their own. That's a pretty ringing endorsement! ______________________ Old review: I have been looking at the Mio watches for awhile. I knew I wanted something that could monitor exercise, and had calorie counting features. Initially, I read reviews about the earlier versions, and they mentioned that women might want the petite version. I am not a small woman- I like bigger jewelry that makes a statement, so I wasn't too worried about the Mio Heart Rate Monitor/Watches being overpowering on me. Then I got this thing, and it is huge. HUGE, to the point of being obnoxious. Not only does it dwarf my fairly strapping hands and wrists, it even looks seriously substantial on my husband, who is 6'5". I am not sure who could pull it off without looking like a dork, except perhaps for Shaquille O'Neill, and then obviously not with the pink interchangeable strap. Since this was intended to be something that was for all day every day wear, at least by me, I am not sure if it's going to fly. I haven't used it yet, but plan to incorporate it into my workouts starting tomorrow. I hope it makes up for its clunkiness with superb monitoring and tracking, because if not, I am taking advantage of the Amazon return policy and getting a more petite version. Good things so far- easy to program, pretty intuitive after initial setup, and there is an extra watch band which is black and charcoal in case you don't feel like Barbie on any particular day. Bad- Bigger than a breadbox, which is bad for anything that you wear on your wrist. Update: I like this thing more, the more I use it. It can be a pain to have to press down on the sensors, after the old chest strap on my Polar monitor, but it is a lot more accessible- just press some buttons rather than wear a chest strap all day. I actually give it four stars, deducting one, because, once again, the thing is massive.

Great motivator!,

This review is from: MioPINK Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
I LOVE my Motiva! I've had it for a couple of months now and my favorite thing is the ability to track how much energy you've expended in order to loose one pound of weight. This really is motivational for me, I have a weekly goal and my Motiva encourages me all they way. As other reviewers have mentioned, the watch is large, I wouldn't really call it a fashion statement, but I only wear it when I'm working out, so the size has never bothered me. The only negative thing I can say about my Motiva, is there are a lot of steps to reset the tracking programs and when I've lost weight and entered in the new info, the one pound tracker will reset itself. This could totally be "user error," but it's happened to me a couple of times, so I'm still trying to figure it all out. Overall I would highly recommend this product if you need a good heart rate monitor and a little extra encouragement.

love it!,
By TMB (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MioPINK Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
I love my new watch! It does everything I hoped it would, it's athletic and pink. I looked at it and was a little leary because other reviews said it was too big, but I like sporty watches anyway, so I took the chance. I am so glad I did. I love the 3500 calorie program and the accuracy of the calories burned. On the fashion side of things, I have had so many women tell me how much they like it.
