Summary: Good gift
Comment: 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 :)

Summary: Mio Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Comment: I couldn't get a reading while I was running, that was irritating. Maybe I am just not a HRM kind of person, but I found it cumbersome and not that helpful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: love it!
Comment: My favorite watch ever. Love it. Love not having to wear a chest strap!
Customer Rating:
Summary: so far, I like it!
Comment: I have been using the MIO for about 2 weeks now and I like it. I am always looking for new ways/ tools to make my workouts interesting and that is why I bought it. I especially like the 3500 cal countdown which I find even motivates me to use the stairs as I just love seeing the numbers reduce.
Not sure if it is because I am just not used to wearing such large watches but I find it a little uncomfortable and for some reason it seems either too tight or too slack.
Despite that - I think it is good value for money and would recommend it to my friends.

Summary: Great value. Great to help judge how hard you are working!
Comment: This is a real nice easy to use exercise buddy. You can quickly check your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. All the features are easy to use. Quality product and 20 bucks cheaper than on Ebay.

Fitness is not just about how far you can run, how many reps you record, or how many minutes you spend in the gym. It's also about making your workout count by getting your heart rate up and burning those calories. That's where the Mio Drive heart rate monitor watch comes into play. Designed for fitness enthusiasts who want to maximize their workouts with on-demand, accurate ECG heart rate readings without a chest strap, the Drive is an ideal workout companion, tracking such information as your personalized heart rate, percentage of maximum heart rate, and total calories burned. Specific features include five exercise timers (count up, count down, count down with warmup, walk/run, and repeat), Mio's 3,500 Calorie Countdown program, a user-accessible battery hatch, and an interchangeable watch band with colors to fit your every mood. As a bonus, the watch comes with the MioSense Guide for Healthy Living, a booklet that includes information on health, nutrition, diet, fitness, and exercise, along with carb and calorie tables at the back for easy reference. 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.
