 Awesome Motivational Tool Feb 22, 2010
I love my Motiva Heart Rate Monitor Watch! It's great when I'm working out to be able to see my heart rate each time. That way if I'm in the same point of a workout that I did previously and my heart rate isn't where it was that time then I know that I am not working out as hard as I could and I kick it up a notch. I love that I can track my calories on it too! I haven't used the function for calories consumed because I use a different system for that already, but it's great to be able to see how many calories a specific workout has and also to be able to see at the end of the day how many calories I've burned! The only "con" that I have found with this watch is sometimes it's hard to get a reading on the heart rate and I'll have to do it several times before it works. However, this is usually when my hands are really cold so I think that's the issue. Definitely more pros than cons to this product though!! I don't think you can find a better comparable product for the price. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to lose weight or just get fit.
 un-serious Dec 29, 2009
Maybe this is ok for calorie counter and nutri system followers but this is not a watch for athletes. Athletes will want to continue to use a strap as this device only indicates your heart rate when you place you opposing hand on the reader nodes. Not practical when swimming biking or even running or anything else. Furthermore it takes several seconds to give you the read out. Maybe this is ok for some but for anyone doing serious heart rate training; don't buy this product.
Mio Motiva Petite Dec 20, 2009
Watch is easy to set up. Gives fairly accurate and easily obtained heart rate reading - with the watch on your wrist just press two buttons on opposite sides of watch with the other hand. Easy to enter your data.
Have not tried to use yet as a calorie counter. I believe it will be awkward as you have to enter your caloric intake and I am not certain how your calories burned are calculated.
Right size for smaller wrist. Good looking. Cleverly designed to easily exchange watch bands, but 2nd band included with watch is very, very bright.
Useful, small book with health and weight-loss advise and lists of the calorie count for many foods included.
 Easily Scratched Sep 02, 2009
I wanted this watch for over a year before I purchased it. It had all the features I was looking for, including an interval timer, heart rate monitor, etc. While I love the features and the petite size (fits my tiny wrist), you cannot hear the timer chimes if you have music or even if you are out on a busy street.
My biggest complaint is that the "crystal" seems to be thin, cheap plastic, and I scratched the face the first day. Since then it has become heavily scratched, and I don't think I am particulary hard on it. I would not buy another Mio for this reason.

 heart rate monitor Jun 17, 2009
I purchased this watch for heart rate monitoring and it just isn't accurate. Also when running, when you check your rate, it doesn't always work. It says because of sweat, but that is what you do when running. Best as a watch.
