Mio Stride Pedometer Review

Mio Strapless Heart Monitor

The Mio Stride is a combination strapless heart rate monitor with a pedometer as well as a fully functional watch.

The Mio Stride is yet another of Mio's combination heart rate monitor watches, this one just so happens to include a pedometer. The device has all of the basics of most other heart rate monitor watches. The device is a strapless heart rate monitor, one with several bells and whistles that make it an interesting prospect. The fact that the user can program their own target heart rate zones into the watch is a useful one; if the user needs to stay around a certain percent of their maximum heart rate, the device can provide a reminder of where they stand in that respect. That being said, the watch also displays what percent of the maximum heart rate the wearer is currently at. On top of it all, the device is a fully functional digital watch with time, data, alarm, and a backlight.

There are some caveats that come with a device like this. First of all, it is a strapless heart rate monitor. This means that it won’t deliver a constantly updated heart rate, but rather one that is updated periodically at the user's demand. Many devices such as this get negative reviews due to customers not realizing this ahead of time; just be forewarned. Another potential problem is the pedometer itself. The way these pedometers work is that the user will need to program the length of their stride into the device, which will then count each step taken as counting as the length of the stride. The only problem with this is that if the length of your stride isn't consistent then the distance might be skewed.

Mio Stride Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Customer feedback is pretty mixed for the Stride. The feedback is mostly what is to be expected for these types of devices- several customers who didn't understand that a strapless heart rate monitor took a bit more time to get an accurate reading out of than one with a chest strap and a few other customers who programmed their walking stride into the pedometer and then became upset that the distance was measured incorrectly due to the length of their stride while running being a different length. The watch originally had a list price of around ninety dollars, but can be purchased online now for around twenty seven dollars. For that price, this device is practically a steal. It contains nearly every feature more expensive heart rate monitors have, it has a pedometer, and it has fairly positive customer feedback. This device is at least worth a look.

Customer Review:

And here's what some of the customers who bought the Mio Stride have to say about it:

..."This watch does everything I need, and I have never had a major issue with it.”"...
