Summary: Small wrist? No way. Band Too Large!
Comment: I must be a genetic freak then, because I'm a small-framed 5'9" and this watch band is enormous on my wrist - there aren't any holes small enough for it to sit flush on my wrist. I thought the face would be smaller, but it's enormous compared to women's Timex or Polar HRM watches.

Summary: not worth the money
Comment: Mio PINK Sport Select Heart Rate Monitor Watch
The monitor never worked from out of the box. I could NEVER get a resting heart rate & my exercising heart rate was always over 200! I tried using it while walking, hiking & in spin class. After reviewing it said that wetting finger tips would help with accuracy...NOT I even replaced the battery on a new product hoping that would solve the problems...NOT Currently in dispute with cc company to get money back or even exchange as buyer (tricitytrading) did not respond to 2 emails.

Summary: Mio Classic HRM
Comment: I was hoping for it to be just a tiny bit better. It was great for treadmill run or personal work outs. With a little practice it bacame pretty easy to get a heart rate and I think it is pretty close. And it was easy to figure out the programs. But when I was actually running on the street and trying to watch the road and keep up a good speed, I found it to be impossible to get a reading. If I slowed down I could get it, but slowing down is not what you want to do if you are trying to maintain a good speed. I tried several times and it just would not give me a reading no matter if I tried for a few seconds or 15 seconds. For a runner who changes speeds, this may not be the right item, but for the light work out or treadmill, I think it would do nicely.

Summary: Great heart rate monitor - as long as you aren't working out
Comment: I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this heart rate monitor. I wanted a monitor without the chest strap, and of the available options, the Mio appeared to be the highest rated and best value.
The watch fits me ok. The solid pink strap was to big for my wrist, so I use the smaller black and pink strap. I consider myself to be of "medium" build, my wrist mesures 6.5 inches on the spot where I wear the watch, and it fits with a few notches to spare. The monitor itself is very large (to be expected) and does not sit flush against my wrist, leaving gaps on the top and bottom. While this isn't exactly fashionable, it is not uncomfortable.
The heart rate monitor is very easy to use if I am still and dry. It appears to be rather accurate, and is very close to the reading on the gym cardio machines. Once I get into my workout and start to sweat, it becomes increasingly difficult to get a reading. I have to stop, take the watch off, dry it, and stand still to measure my heart rate. Even then, it is not very consistent, and often gives a "half reading". By the time I have gotten a reading, I am sure my heart rate has dropped significantly, and I have to get back into my workout high again. It can be frustrating if you are trying to keep your heart rate within a certain level. I consider my workouts to be on the more intense side, so it is possible this would suit lighter workouts just fine.
The only additional function I utilize is the workout timer, which also tracks the amount of calories burned. The timer, while very useful, appears to be 2-3 seconds faster than the gym cardio machines (and this holds true with all machines I have tried). The burned-calorie tracker, which works automatically when you start the cardio timer, is always significantly lower than the cardio machine's tracker. I'm not sure which one is more accurate, but after an hour, there is usually a 100 calorie difference.
All in all, this watch has been disappointing. As much as I do not want to wear a chest strap, it looks like that is really the only option if you want an accurate reading all the time. I would recommend this for someone looking to track the heart rate throughout the day or during very mild exercise, but that's about it.

Summary: Could be better
Comment: I got this watch because I like the look of it and it got good reviews. I primarily needed a heart monitor and all the reviews said that it worked well but is a little big. I like the design of it, but the heart monitor is very impractical. I have to hold my fingers on the monitor to get a reading and half the time I never even get one. It is so frustrating to hold the button down for 30 seconds and never get a reading. I am a runner and wanted to know my heart rate during runs, but there is no practical way to get a reading while running and even when I come to a dead stop and try to get a reading it will not take one until my heart rate has slowed way down. It completely defeats the purpose. I've attempted to use this watch for over a month and I haven't gotten an accurate reading yet if my heart rate is above 160. It is also very difficult to go from the stopwatch timer to looking at what time it is. You have to take your heart rate and then press mode, which wouldn't be so bad if the heart rate monitor actually worked! I think I am going to sell it because it isn't worth the trouble. If you are doing very light exercise and have all day to wait to find out your heart rate or if you just want to know how many calories you are burning then this watch is for you. Otherwise, don't waste your money.
