Horray for MIO!

I just bought my MIO and I love it! I love knowing my heart rate when I exercise. I don't leave the gym until I reach my goal of calories burned. MIO helps me know if I need to increase my intensity, or slow down. I also love knowing my heart rate during the day to monitor my stress. If it's too high I know that I need to relax and take a deep breath. If you want to lose a few pounds or get in shape, this is the watch for you. Plus the purchase went towards a great cause.

Not a Good Buy

I easily overlooked all of the issues that other people had with this watch. It was close enough to being accurate since I was not looking for soemthing exact. My two complaints are that it was not waterresistant at all even though it claimed to be and that after buying a new second watch that one broke within 4 months. This is an unrelaible and cheaply manufactured item. Spend a little more and get a watch that has a chest strap. They may be tedious but they work and they dont break down

Mio - Not all it's cracked up to be

Okay, I have owned the Mio for 9 months now and I agree with all of the above complaints, it is not accurate, it can be difficult to run and check heart rate at same time, it's big and clunky looking, etc, etc.
My biggest beef is that this watch broke 6 months into the game. The heart rate monitor got stuck and rendered the watch useless. I returned it to Mio (with my $10.00 check) and 2 months later, i still have not got my watch back. I complain regularly and they reassure me that it is being repaired in their factory. They assured me that finally after I threw a fit, it would be shipped last week. still no watch. The watch not only sucks, but the company sucks as well. save your money and buy an ironman.
