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.

4.0 out of 5 stars nice product, March 12, 2007

This review is from: MIO Shape Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
I like this watch because you don't need the chest strap and it is very affordable. It is easy to use but sometimes it cannot detect my pulse while running so I just stop for a few seconds and then try again. It seems very accurate with the heart rate readings. I like all of it's features including the calorie counter and expenditure. Very helpful if you are trying to lose weight and can compare calories in versus what you are burning with exercise. Glad I bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, April 5, 2007
This review is from: MIO Shape Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
This watch is very awesome! Its affordable, no chest strap and accurate. I lost my very expensive Polar, so I decided to get one of these. Once you know how to set it, its very easy to use. I love the fact that I can press the two buttons to read my pulse as opposed to using an uncomfortable chest strap. I highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for serious workouts, March 21, 2007
This review is from: MIO Shape Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Sports)
I found the watch/monitor to be excellent for what it does. I only need to check my pulse and not monitor it for downloads to a computer later. I have no trouble during a workout placing my two fingers on the watch for 3-5 seconds to read my pulse. It is exactly what I need to ensure that I am getting into my aerobic zone. Not having a chest strap is a big plus for me.
