I know the importance of using a heart rate monitor during workouts as they help me to easily monitor my fitness goals. I don’t have a fixed workout schedule. I visit my neighborhood gym twice a week. But sometimes I settle for a short jog around the block. And if don’t feel like stepping out, I just use the treadmill at home. Regardless of the place, I had to strap on a cumbersome chest strap of the heart rate monitor, every single time, before I started working out. Now this was both time consuming and inconvenient. But all these have become a thing of the past. A month ago my friend suggested that I try a strapless heart rate monitor.

After some basic online research, this is what I found out. Mio was the first to launch ECG accurate strapless heart rate monitor watch in the market. Regular heart rate monitors with chest straps rely on analog wireless transmission. Therefore they may have trouble with radio frequency noise and “cross talk” between other similar units. But with Mio watch heart rate monitors this is perfectly taken care of. Built-in sensors and superior digital filtering technique make them completely immune to environmental noises. So with a MIO watch it is possible to follow the exact heart rate, even when it changes.

Equipped with this vital knowledge, I wasted no time in buying myself a brand new MIO Breeze heart rate monitor watch. With a very simple user interface, I was able to set it up easily. It was also easy to customize my Mio watch 0019US-BLU Breeze by just entering my age, weight, gender, and resting heart rate. The Mio Breeze heart rate monitor watch calculates the percentage of maximum heart rate. It also has two exercise timers, one for counting up and one for counting down. This MIO Breeze heart rate monitor watch has an interchangeable watch band.

Extremely stylish and convenient, that’s my Mio Breeze!
