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.

Customer Review: Mio heart rate Monitor Watch
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This was a great purchase both in price an usefulness. I'm current in Cardiac Rehab and it's nice to be able to know your heart at any given time. It will also become more useful when I'll be exercising on my own, without a monitor. I highly recommend this product.

Customer Review: Mio heart rate monitor
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I am very happy with my purchase of the Mio heart rate monitor. I always wear one when I'm working out and I seem to go through a couple a year. I work out 4 to 5 times a week and often wear this instead of a watch. I would recommend this product.Customer Review: Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Great Buy on this Heart Monitor Watch. Lots of direction to read but easy to follow.Customer Review: Great heartrate monitor WITHOUT a chest strap
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I bought this watch after much research. I wanted a heartrate monitor watch that didn't have a chest strap. This is about as basic as you can get, but it isn't short on features. Stopwatch, calorie count (based on your weight and heartrate when exercising), alarm, etc. The only complaints I have, and please keep these in context, is that it's a bit of a pain to check your heartrate while exercising when you have to place your index and middle finger on the tabs. Sometimes, I can't get a reading, but with a simple adjustment of the watch (sliding it up or down an inch) and can usually get one. When I'm in the middle of a run, the last thing I want to do is fuss with anything (watch, ipod, shoe, sock...). If a little fuss means I don't have to have a strap around my chest, I'm all for it!
One little feature I really love about this watch is the strap. Mio designed it so that the strap doesn't have pins where it connects to the watch. The watch actually slides into the strap, and with replacement straps coming in different colors, gives it some fashion hope. It's still an ugly fitness watch, but one with some options!
Customer Review: Reliable HR Monitor at an Amazingly Low Price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
This Mio that I have been using for the past several weeks is well worth the money. I prefer heart rate monitors with the chest strap because they give a continual readout of heart rate and percent of max HR.
This unit, because it is strapless, requires the placement of two fingers on sensors for about 8 seconds in order to get a HR reading. Therefore, I find its use limited to certain cardio activities I do, such as the elliptical machine at the gym; certainly, having to press the sensors is not possible while cycling, so for activities that require both hands, I use my monitor with the chest strap.
The Mio is comfortable on the wrist and I find that it gives an exceptionally accurate readout of both heart rate and calories burned, as well as percent of max heart rate. Setting up the watch is simple and is fairly intuitive.
I recommend the Mio, but do be aware of the limitations imposed by having to take 8 seconds and both hands to get a reading!
