 heart rate monitorJun 17, 2009
I purchased this watch for heart rate monitoring and it just isn't accurate. Also when running, when you check your rate, it doesn't always work. It says because of sweat, but that is what you do when running. Best as a watch.

 Great if it worked consistentlyMay 26, 2009
It seems like many reviewers expected the Mio to take a continuous heart rate while the wearer is exercising -- I knew it did not, and I don't mind checking my heart rate periodically. Unfortunately, twice now (the watch is only 2 weeks old) my Mio has provided heart rates LOWER than my resting heart rate, while I was 15-20 minutes into a high intensity workout. Clearly incorrect. Other times, I held the buttons for the heart rate monitor for nearly a minute (while trying to keep up my pace) with no reading at all. Perhaps it's something I'm doing wrong?! If I can figure it out, I'll be very enthusiastic about the Mio -- I love that it can be customized at the beginning with your own weight, resting heart rate, etc., so that the readouts it gives are more reliable than the generic ones that show on the gym machines. Now if only I could get it to work consistently, every time....

 Does what it saysMay 23, 2009
This product does what it says BUT is misleading when it comes to the heart rate monitor. It does not read it while exercising. You have to do it manually which is a bit of a pain when you're working out. Other than that the product does what it says but I was looking for one that reads your heart rate through out exercising.

I like this watchMay 09, 2009
This is my first heart rate monitor. I debated between the one with and without the calorie counters and got this one. I find it generally intuitive to use with one review of the directions. For me the only notable issue has been the inability to take a reading while exercising. Much motion affects the ability to read, so you have to be pretty still while you do. This is an issue because the calorie burner uses your heart rate to calculate calories burned in the workout. This is fine for my DVD exercises since there are some breaks that I can measure my heart rate, but for jogging, for example, I had to stop jogging and walk slowly to get a reading. I would not recommend this watch if you want to check your heart rate during exercise without slowing WAY down or stopping. The reading is quick, maybe 6-8 seconds, so you don't have to stop for long. Having to push the bottons for me is not really an issue, I don't mind a small wait. Having to be pretty still is the issue.
I like the net calorie counter. You enter the calories you eat each time, which is easy to do. It calculates how many you burned during exercise and adding the two displays a net calorie intake for the day. This is very helpful if you are trying to manage calories. There is a very small book with directions and a calorie table that is helpful with estimation.
I have only used the timer for exercise. With my old timex
Ironman I would use the timer for all kinds of other things than exercise, but with this timer tied to calories burned, I can't do that. I miss that feature. There is an alarm that would have to be used instead, but alarms need more set up to use and is therefore less desirable.
The watch is fairly tall off the wrist, but the band does fit a small wrist fine. Changing between the two watch bands is easy, but I wish the other color was not such a bright orange which has more limited use than some other color would.
I agree with the comment that the beep is very quiet. If you need to rely on a beep during your exercise, it would not work well. You need to look at the watch to check the status.
Overall I have been happy with the watch and would purchase it again. I can't imagine wanting to wear a chest strap and think that the advantage of no strap outweighs the negatives.
 Stylish enough to wear dailyMar 30, 2009
I really like this heart rate monitor for its strapless feature. I have an old Acumen Eon Basix Plus before. After 2 years of continuous use, the transmitter strap became irritating to my skin even though I took care to clean it after every use.
And the calorie counting feature is wonderful. The performance bars make it easy to tell how you are doing. It makes calorie so much easier than carrying a little notebook around. When my daily calorie get up to the "red" zone, I know it is time to add some exercise to get it in the "green" zone.
I have gotten a few compliments from friends and co-workers about my "new watch." I used the blue and orange watch band that came with the package. The black and gray watch band is nice too, but I like a little more color.
