Summary: NICE WATCH
Comment: I like the watch and its features however, it is difficult sometimes to get a reading out of it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I love this gadget watch!
Comment: I wasn't making any progress in my weight loss efforts, so I got this watch to see where my heart rate is while I exercise. Turns out, I wasn't exercising efficiently. Now I know right where to be. I love the dual timer modes, and use them while following the run-walk program in the book. it is easy to measure your heart rate while you are doing your workout.I also love how it keeps track of your total calories burned, so you know once you burn a whole pound off (3500 calories).

Summary: It's alright when it works
Comment: I thought this watch would be a good alternative to wearing a chest strap, because the MIO website touts their HR monitor as being 'very accurate'. Though, there have been moments when I'm either jogging or at rest and the watch registers my heart rate as 216. Since it thinks my max heart rate is 200, it doesn't compute the percentage. When I've received inaccurate readings, I've passed the watch to my husband to see what his heart rate is, and it reads something similar; 220 or higher. When I calculate my own heart rate the 'old fashioned way' (i.e., counting my own heart beats for 10 seconds and multiplying that by 6) I calculate a 'normal' number that I usually have when jogging a 10-minute mile; 157.
But there have been other times when I'm jogging and the heart rate monitor is closer to reality (within 15 beats, which still isn't "accurate" IMHO). So it's inconsistent so far.
The interval timer is somewhat kludgy to use since it operates different than the interval timers I'm used to using on running watches, but it works fine. However, I can't hear the beeps when running on the trails outdoors, which renders the interval timer meaningless.
So I'm not happy with the purchase, but I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt and use it more often to see if it will 'behave' more often than not. If you have the extra money to buy a Polar or Nike HR watch, then do so. You won't be disappointed with the those products that use a chest strap. Until MIO does something about the accuracy of their HR function, I can't recommend this product.

Summary: MIO watch
Comment: 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.
