Summary: Hear Rate Monitor
Comment: I bought this to replace a monitor with a chest strap. I like the fact I do not have to deal with the strap and can get readings in the pool. The only thing I do not like is that you have to place your fingers on the sensors to get a reading, but I understand since it does not have the chest strap. I would recommend to anyone that wants a monitor that does not use the strap.

Summary: Mio Review
Comment: I like all the features, the calorie intake feature is great...I like the petite band...the downside is that the watch face is huge...my wrists are 5.25 inches around and the watch face is larger than my wrist...so even though the band is small the watch is uncomfortable to wear directly on my skin. I wear it over my long sleeve t-shirts and around the house loosely...however, it looks like a real clunker to wear outdoors. I wish the face was a bit smaller...the face is even larger than my Polar F6! It looks small in the picture, but trust me this thing is huge! Other than that, I like the features and functions on this watch! Maybe if your wrist is bigger you won't have this issue!

Summary: What's Not To Like?
Comment: I added this watch to my wishlist because I wanted a chronometer to track how many calories I was burning while working out at home. Sure enough, I received it as a gift and have been using it for 6 months. I really like it. It's comfortable, easy to use, does a nice job of calculating my heart rate and calories burned, and even makes for a nice looking watch. The only "issue" I've had with it is sometimes, if you don't have your fingers in quite the right spot on the sensors, it'll calculate some bogus heartrate and take a few seconds longer than usual. But it's such a MINOR issue!! It's a nice little gadget to have! I recommend it!

Summary: a little big, but a great watch
Comment: The watch face is a little big but the watch is great! I check my heart rate during breaks in my step class. There was a little learning curve for using the watch during the class but now I am over the hump and I really love it.

Summary: Not for high intensity exersise
Comment: I received this watch as a gift after declaring that I did not want to use a chest strap HR monitor. Out of the box it worked great. I immediately found my heart rate along with everyone in the room that day. Set up for the more advanced features was easy to follow once I got out the manual. The problems started when I tried it out at the gym during my normal workout. I figured that it needed to be at least as reliable as the HR on the gym's cardio machines to be useful. I used it while on the treadmill and the elliptical machines to test it out. In both cases I could get my starting HR just fine, and with a couple of tries I could get my HR after upping my speed a little to warm up. It was impossible to to get an accurate HR after reaching my cruising speed (either jogging or on the elliptical). I would have to slow down to nearly a stop in order to find my HR during my workout by which time after making several tries my actual HR would have dropped from the rate I was trying to measure. My recommendation is that if you are using this for anything other than a slow walk buy a unit with a chest strap. That is what I am going to do.
