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.

MIO watch
Pretty accurate heart rate monitor. Red band that comes w/ it is a little uncomfortable, but I have a small wrist. Fingers do have to be on monitor just so, or it won't take reading. It's a little hard to do when you're on a bike or running at times. All in all it's a great product though to not have to wear the chest strap(I had 1 like that b4). I'd buy it again.

Oh Yes
This watch is great. My trainer wanted me to get a heart rate and calorie monitor. I first opted for a more stylish Suunto... returned it immediately once i saw the chest strap. I later decided that that brand is garbage. Anyways, the MIO is strapless and the heart rate monitor is flawless. I just got back from the gym and was eager to rate this product because i matched the exact HR with the running machine I was on. It does what I need it to do and at a great price. I recommend it. PS although not quite stylish enough to wear if u are going out.

Unsatisfactory
I was hoping I could monitor my heart rate during exercise. Unfortunately, I was never able to get a reading on a consistent basis. Directions are to pace 2 fingers on the heart sensors and wait for a readout. I could usually get a readout when resting, but could rarely get ane during exercise. The watch indicated it was taking a reading, but would rarely go into display mode.

Good gift
I bought this as a fathers day present, GREAT idea. I haven't really gotten to touch it but he tells me that it is comfortable and very handy. It makes my dad think twice before he takes the elevator :)
