MIO Motion Heart Rate Watch- Small

I received the mio motion for Christmas from my husband. His gift was thoughtful, but I only wear it to show appreciation for his thoughtfulness. When it is humid, as it often is in the South, I can''t press the blasted chronometer or check the time because of sweat. Usually when I check it, it shows the underscore lines as if its checking my heartrate. If I am not careful, the chronometer won''t start because it is in heartrate mode. Yes, I''ve shut the heartrate off but it still does it. I''ve read the directions for this watch more times that any watch I''ve owned hoping to find its charm, but so far it is only an annoyance. In addition, I''ll run ten miles and the pedometer registers less than two. This watch is probably not a good choice for endurance athletes. I can''t wait until I''ve worn it long enough that I can go back to a Timex Ironman without hurting my husbands feelings. On the positive side, sometimes when I am running or biking up a steep hill, I''ll check my heartrate to make sure its not going to blow. At my age, that is a possibility.

I spent about a week shopping online for a strapless heart rate monitor and decided on this one. I love it! I wear it constantly as it has a small face and comfortable wrist band. There is a learning curve with getting your heart rate while exercising though. You have to make sure that the back of the watch is in contact with your wrist and that you finger is NOT wet with sweat or any moisture when you place it on the metal to get a reading. I have a heart condition, so this alllows me to check my heart rate at any time, and it''s very easy to use if your not exercising. Also it seems pretty accurate based on my comparision readings while on a treadmill. I really like the locking feature on the watch, as well. Others have mentioned a short battery life and I think that happens because they haven''t locked the screen. It''s very easy to accidentally touch the watch long enough to activate the monitor and not realize it. I did that a few times when I slept with the watch on. If you don''t lock the screen, you run the risk of accidental activations that will definitely drain the battery. Overall, I am very pleased with this watch and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a strapless heart rate monitor.

This is my second MIO Motion Heart Rate Monitor Watch. I still use both but I like having an extra with charged battery for when the other one dies. I wear it daily and even to bed, to both keep track of heart rate and to record steps taken plus number of calories used. Really helpful and a good sturdy watch for the price. I bought the first one in late 2010 and it''s still going strong with battery changes; the second one was purchased about 4 months ago. Highly recommended.

Don''t waste your money. This watch, which is supposed to monitor your heart rate, doesn''t work when you are exercising because of the sweating. So, if you want to know your heart rate you need to dry your wrist before it can be read, and it doesn''t always work.

Works fine if you don''t perspire much. Used this for a few weeks and ended up ditching it for a model with a chest strap that provides a reliable heart rate read-out.
