(More customer reviews)I received this watch as a gift after declaring that I did not want to use a chest strap HR monitor.Out of the box it worked great.I immediately found my heart rate along with everyone in the room that day.Set up for the more advanced features was easy to follow once I got out the manual.The problems started when I tried it out at the gym during my normal workout.I figured that it needed to be at least as reliable as the HR on the gym's cardio machines to be useful.I used it while on the treadmill and the elliptical machines to test it out.In both cases I could get my starting HR just fine, and with a couple of tries I could get my HR after upping my speed a little to warm up.It was impossible to to get an accurate HR after reaching my cruising speed (either jogging or on the elliptical).I would have to slow down to nearly a stop in order to find my HR during my workout by which time after making several tries my actual HR would have dropped from the rate I was trying to measure.My recommendation is that if you are using this for anything other than a slow walk buy a unit with a chest strap.That is what I am going to do.

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.
