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.

Sports reviews of Mio Shape Select Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Customer Review: fantastic alternative to strapped heart rate watches.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I recently had to purchase a heart monitor watch due to a request from my doctor to keep track of my heart rate on a regular basis (in order to monitor my tachycardia). This watch is perfect for a women's wrist or just a smaller wrist overall. The bigger mios (breeze, drive, elite, etc) are too big and the wristband pulls funny.
The Good:
This watch has a lot of great features with a nice and simple design. you can keep track of your caloric intake for the day, get a good idea of how many calories you burn while working out (and even get it to subtract it from your running caloric intake tally). It allows you to set up the watch for your weight, age and sex, as well. You can set a target caloric boundary for the day and it will let you know where you are with respect to that target. You can also input your base/resting heart rate.
I have double checked the readings on this watch many times and it is almost never off by more than a couple points.
The not-so-perfect:
If you are on an elliptical, or some machine requiring balance, it might require a couple tries to get your during workout heart rate. That is my only issue. I think it is totally workable though, esp once you get used to constantly taking your heart rate with it. like with everything else, practice makes perfect. the other thing is that I wish the replacement wristbands were not so pricey...and were more available.
In short, I love this watch. For $60, you really get a lot of features and a quality product. I have not regretted this purchase even once. I use this watch all day and everyday. I use it for low-impact workouts and high-impact workouts. I use it while lifting and while walking.
Customer Review: Great Tool for Fitness Instructor
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm a fitness instructor and I have my participants take their heart rate several times during our aerobic workout. Since I have to count the seconds for them, this allowed me to monitor my own heart rate at the same time.
Also, for new folks who couldn't find their heart rate consistently I'd have them wear my watch. It seemed to give them confidence and help them ease into finding their heart rate on their own.
After my classes ended I recommended this watch to several students who want to continue to easily monitor their herat rate during individual work-outs.
Customer Review: Great watch with 5 sec reading
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
It seems to be pretty accurate and reads my bpm after about 4-5 seconds. I have had to lick my fingers before when too dry.
I paid about 39 dollars for it at walm@rt so I am even happier with it lol. I had bought a sport previously and paid $50 for it and it takes about 10 seconds to read.
All in all, this has been a good piece and is accurate enough for my HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts. You can even get your reading from any screen of the watch. Just hold the buttons and wait.
Customer Review: Life-saving Watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This watch is potentially a life saver. It is extremely easy to use while exercising and also very accurate in its readings. I use it to ensure that I am not exercising at an excessive heart rate (I have already had one heart attack). The first time that I checked my heart rate while on the elliptical machine, my heart rate was 162, which is dangerously high for a 55-year old man. Now, I can safely work out in my target range of 140-145 beats per minute.Customer Review: MY Mio Shape Select Heart Rate Watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am enjoying for the first time the freedom of monitoring my heart rate no matter where I am. At the Airport while waiting in line or going through the security. More importantly, while working out, lifting weights. During aerobics, awesome. I really appreciate this watch.
