I have read the other reviews for several Mio strapless heart rate watches and I have basicly the same experience and positive review.Very good product but your body must be still to get your heart rate and wait about 6 seconds (this is why only 4 stars rating).It reads out the HR and the percent of max.However, it won't display anywhere what your personal max rate it is using.You most do some math yourself to find what number the Mio is using.I want to know because I know what target I should be using for my circumstances.Your max HR is different for land based x, shallow water x, and deep water x.I do all three forms of exercise.For some you maybe interested to know the second black/pink band that comes with the package is smaller and fits only the smallest of wrists.Click Here to see more reviews about: MioPINK Classic Heart Rate Monitor Watch with Two Straps

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.
