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.

MIO Ultiamate, the sport model plus Chest monitor

Review Date: August 4, 2007

Reviewer: Rob in the Bay, San Francisco Bay Area

I have researched a lot of heart monitor watches, and Polar seemed to be everywhere. But, the more I read the more I found things I didn't like, so I kept looking and found the MIO.

The Sport and Ultimate are the same watch, but the Ultimate comes with the chest monitor and the Sport you have to purchase seperately. Depending on YOUR workout you can decide which is best for you.

Let's start with the cons because most people reading a reveiew (like I did) want's to know what people using the watch find an issue with.
* Like all these monitors you need to take some time upfront to set the watch up. This applies to all of the watches. Good news with teh MIO is the heart rate monitor works out the box and at your fingertips.

* Rate is hard to get a reading from when running, you need to slow down to a jog to fingers in place to get a good reading, takes 5 seconds. Great if you stop to rest, traffic signals, after run, etc

* Need to read the instructions well to get the calorie count

* Water resistance to 10 M (30 feet) so if you go into the ocean a lot may be an issue.

* No back light

Pros

* Easy to read dial when working out. The up and down arrows also help you target your heart rate better by speeding you up or slowing you down

* Monitor works very easily and is accurate. I have not had a false reading yet

* Chest monitor is GREAT! I work out outside, but also go to the gym and use the tread mill and stationary bikes. The chest monitor works well and all the equipment reads the chest monitor and displays on the work out equipmpent. This allows me to focus on work out. The watch also shows the rate with up and down arrows keeping you within your target range (which you set). If you do cardio in the gym get the chest monitor.

* Chest monitor is very comfortable to wear also.

* Face dial large enough to read easily, but the watch is small enough to wear everyday. About the size of a Timex Ironman watch.

* Lots of features to use, but standard watch features are good too.

Bottom Line

The monitor has all the features of the much more expense monitors sold by other companies. Has very few real cons, and it works well, is comfortable to wear, and is a great value.

Great Tool for Fitness Instructor

Review Date: April 23, 2007

Reviewer: D. Anderson, Bayfield, WI

I'm a fitness instructor and I have my participants take their heart rate several times during our aerobic workout. Since I have to count the seconds for them, this allowed me to monitor my own heart rate at the same time.

Also, for new folks who couldn't find their heart rate consistently I'd have them wear my watch. It seemed to give them confidence and help them ease into finding their heart rate on their own.

After my classes ended I recommended this watch to several students who want to continue to easily monitor their herat rate during individual work-outs.

MY Mio Shape Select Heart Rate Watch

Review Date: January 20, 2007

Reviewer: Bill Onibudo, TX, USA

I am enjoying for the first time the freedom of monitoring my heart rate no matter where I am. At the Airport while waiting in line or going through the security. More importantly, while working out, lifting weights. During aerobics, awesome. I really appreciate this watch.
