Mio Heart Rate Monitors For Style And Function

The Mio range of heart rate monitors starts with the wave and the sport wrist monitors, which allow you to take your pulse without the use of a chest strap. The others are more like all the others available on the market.

MIO is a new and unique lifestyle watch. It's the world's first watch to take your ECG-accurate heart rate without the awkward chest strap used by other ECG-accurate heart rate monitors and to use your personal data to calculate the percent of your maximum heart when working out, your calories burned during the day, and more.

MIO monitors your heart rate with a patented technology, just place two fingers on the MioSensors located on the watch face to obtain your heart rate at any time.

During an exercise session, MIO gives the percent of your maximum heart rate to help you get the most out of your workout, calculates the total number of calories burned and indicates how quickly your heart returns to its resting rate. Mio works best when you stop running to check your heart rate. It doesn't work while you are in motion.

The Mio range is very stylish as just a watch with the added advantage of a pulse monitor, not much use for cyclists as you would have to take one hand off the handlebars to take your pulse.
