Designed for fitness enthusiasts who want to maximize their workouts with on-demand, accurate ECG heart rate readings without a chest strap, the Mio Drive heart rate monitor watch 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, and a user-accessible battery hatch. 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.p table align=right width=148 cellpadding=10tr tdimg src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/mio-drive.jpg" border=0 align=topbrbrsmallibThe Drive offers ECG accurate heart rate monitoring without a chest strap./b/i/small/td/tr/table bKey Features:/bul liOn demand, ECG accurate heart rate monitoring without a chest strap liCalculates calories burned during exercise liVisual indicator of exertion level liPercentage of maximum heart rate liGet results faster with the MIO 3500 Calorie Club program liFive exercise timers: Count up, Count down, Count up with warm-up, Walk/Run and Repeat liUser accessible battery hatch /ulp bAbout Mio/bbr 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.p 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.p

 Against my better judgement December 2, 2008

I was not convinced there is a watch on the market at all that will monitor heart rate as well as a chest strap model - but I wanted to give it a chance. I purchased the watch against my better judgement and against the odd of baseline feedback. I just really wanted a watch that would not require a chest strap, I thought it would be too cumbsersome and I would not wear it - I checked feedback on all makes and models for this type of watch is pretty consistent (hit and miss but not stellar) and this seemed to rate above or at least a little better than the rest. br /br /I tried the watch, while it was easy to set up, had great features, and the concept is dang cool to watch yourself burn off a pound of weight - I wanted to measure my workout to see where I was during spin class etc. as far as burning and heart rate and this just did not do it. I have to say I think it hurt my work out, not enhanced it. I would have to nearly slow down or stop so much to get a reading "IF" I was able to get one at all. br /br /The watch is very big, cumbersome and not for a women.. Women CAN wear it, but not comfortably - I would have kept the watch had it at least had comfort because of the other features, but honestly, I had to take it off mid-class and it went straight back into the box to be sold. br /br /I dont bash the quality, again, the concept and timing features are very user friendly and beneficial, but.. if you are looking specifically to guage your heart rate when working out - suck it up and buy the chest strap. I have to.. br /br /My best, C

I like the watch and its features however, it is difficult sometimes to get a reading out of it.
 I love this gadget watch! October 30, 2008

I wasn't making any progress in my weight loss efforts, so I got this watch to see where my heart rate is while I exercise. Turns out, I wasn't exercising efficiently. Now I know right where to be. I love the dual timer modes, and use them while following the run-walk program in the book. it is easy to measure your heart rate while you are doing your workout.I also love how it keeps track of your total calories burned, so you know once you burn a whole pound off (3500 calories).
It's alright when it works October 20, 2008

I thought this watch would be a good alternative to wearing a chest strap, because the MIO website touts their HR monitor as being 'very accurate'. Though, there have been moments when I'm either jogging or at rest and the watch registers my heart rate as 216. Since it thinks my max heart rate is 200, it doesn't compute the percentage. When I've received inaccurate readings, I've passed the watch to my husband to see what his heart rate is, and it reads something similar; 220 or higher. When I calculate my own heart rate the 'old fashioned way' (i.e., counting my own heart beats for 10 seconds and multiplying that by 6) I calculate a 'normal' number that I usually have when jogging a 10-minute mile; 157.br /br /But there have been other times when I'm jogging and the heart rate monitor is closer to reality (within 15 beats, which still isn't "accurate" IMHO). So it's inconsistent so far.br /br /The interval timer is somewhat kludgy to use since it operates different than the interval timers I'm used to using on running watches, but it works fine. However, I can't hear the beeps when running on the trails outdoors, which renders the interval timer meaningless. br /br /So I'm not happy with the purchase, but I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt and use it more often to see if it will 'behave' more often than not. If you have the extra money to buy a Polar or Nike HR watch, then do so. You won't be disappointed with the those products that use a chest strap. Until MIO does something about the accuracy of their HR function, I can't recommend this product.
Great item! October 14, 2008
