 Good, But not great... August 25, 2008
I wasn't to excited about the idea of having to wear a chest strap just to record my heart rate. So when I came upon the Mio it sounded like the one for me. I basically just wanted to know that I was in my target heart rate zone when I was walking/running on the treadmill or doing a workout video. I didn't want to spend to much because I wasn't a hard core athlete or anything!
But what I have found out... was that the Mio works well if you are standing still. Even a slow walk on the treadmill can mess up a reading, and by the time you wait for the 8 to 10 seconds to give you a reading your heart rate has already dropped about 5 points at least. Also, I really wanted the calories burned feature but if your not checking your heart rate every few minutes then you don't get an accurate assesment of your workout. Oh! and it's very chunky in size.
I now have a polar heart rate monitor and I will have to say... it was worth the extra money and the heart rate strap isn't as bad as I once thought. I have the F11 which has the newer soft strap. But you can by the newer strap for any of the models I believe. I have heard the F6 are where they made a lot of improvements.
But my suggestion is spend the little extra and go with a more accurate one. My choice was Polar.

I ordered this watch to keep myself in my target heart rate while exercising. So far the watch has been great. I have small wrists so it looks a little funny but I can live with it. For the money I spent it was well worth it.

I wanted a heart monitor to give me a better idea of my calorie burn. First, the actual calorie burn according to the watch is much less than my treadmill or elliptical, so that is interesting. Second is my only concern with the watch, it doesn't always register heart rate. If I'm running or on the elliptical I really have to slow down or stop to get it done. Then if it doesn't register, it slows me down more so it is frustrating because my heart rate slows down. Also, occasionally it rates low, below resting heart rate. That results in incorrect overall information. I don't use it on my equipment anymore since I know about what the difference is. But it is still useful when I am doing outdoor activities and want the feedback.
 Not worth the money! April 8, 2008
Heart rate monitor does not work most of the time. It's supposed to give the BPM within 10 secs and I've held onto it for over 1 minute and it doesn't work. I went to the instruction manuel and it says to use moistened finger...that doesn't help either. If you buy, I hope your buy is better than mine. I'd rather have my money back!

I purchased a Mio Shape Select from amazon once I received it I realized the light did not work. I sent the item back to amazon and they sent me a replacement. The replacement watch was used and had already been returned from someone else. I returned the second watch. I then tried one more time after they assured me the problems were corrected. The third watch's digital screen was only 1/2 there. The numbers were 1/2 missing. I returned all watches and do not own a Mio shape. I am still awaiting refund for all watches. The first one was purchased over a month ago.
