Still needs some work
I read many reviews on this watch and the one thing that I saw over and over was the complaint that the HR wouldn't display during an activity such as running. The runner had to stop to get a reading. I took a chance since I would either be walking or on an exercise bike but lo! I'm even having the problem while walking and while simply sitting on my exercise bike with my legs pushing the pedals. I rarely get a reading while still exercising at a very moderate rate. It seems the watch only cooperates when I'm still.
Despite this problem I like the watch. All the features work well aren't too hard to program and work well for me. The watch is bulky and quite large on a smaller wrist but there is a lady's version available. I made sure to buy the Mio that offers the interchangeable strap which is a good thing. One other reviewer complained about the strap breaking on another Mio with no way to replace it. I can see how that would happen over time. The plastic used on the band is rigid and with the bending of putting the watch on every day it appears it won't take long for the plastic to break.
Overall I find it to be an acceptable HR monitor with limitations that some however might find unacceptable.More detail ...
