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.

Great Heart Rate WatchMarch 10, 2010 scott colville(Laurel, MD) I checked around for heart rate monitor watches for several weeks and this watch was the best value for the money. It had the features I wanted and seemed to be priced at an affordable cost compared to other watches I looked at and compared. I have been very pleased with the watch once it arrived and I put it on. It is extremely easy to use and I like the fact that it is also water proof/resistent. It is very comfortable to wear all day and it has worked perfectly with no problems.
EASY TO USEMarch 7, 2010 Dennis E. Kane(Hartford, CT USA) The MIO SPORT Heart Rate watch is so easy to use that one reading of the instructions and I was ready to go. I bought the watch to use with my treadmill. My treadmill is equipped with a heart rate but I felt the readings were too high. The MIO showed my true readings. Most outstanding is the percentage of heart rate use that the MIO reports. This is much more important than just the heart rate. And you don't have to wear a strap around your chest! The only drawback that I have experienced is the size of the readout. I wear bi-focal glasses and must use them to be able to see the readout.
A big disapointmentMarch 6, 2010 Christopher Dangelo(New York) Return it for a refund..... it worked correctly about 10% of the time...Bought one at Walmart that works much better.
Great Watch for the non-hard core.March 6, 2010 W. Farnes So I'm 44, and just started jogging. I didn't want to go all out with a chest strap unless I get really serious, besides I'm very hairy and I have read where that doesn't work so well.
So I'm up to 8 minutes jogging and 2 minutes walking, for 3 sets.
This watch works great for the down time. I can check my heart rate as soon as I start walking and see where it's at. It's been great for me!
I have tried as high as 12 minutes, felt great but at the end of that I was at 182, which is over my maximum, so I'll keep increasing the minutes slowly until I can go for 30 minutes straight.
This watch is a vital part of my goal. If I ever get to where I'm running non-stop based on my heart rate, then a cheat monitor makes sense.
Loved it till it quit working after about 1 year.February 25, 2010 D. Mitchell(Oregon) I loved this watch when it worked. During your exercise; it tells calories burned, your percent of heartrate, is strapless, and is personalized to you. It gets your heartrate from your pulse during your exercise, an acceptable accuracy. When it stopped working, I had the battery changed at a jeweler and the heart rate part of the watch never worked again. The upside is it's fairly cheap at Walmart or here at Amazon. So I'll probably purchase another one. Next time, I won't spend the $8 on a battery, I'll use that money towards the $29.99 cost of this heartrate monitor watch. Or maybe I'll get an exerspy for my birthday. Thanks and stay healthy!
