It seems ...I'm still very happy with it, Susan. It seems to be accurate, it's a lot more reliable than my old Polar ones with chest straps, and I find I wear it more often because it's far more comfortable (and less trouble) than the chest straps. So, I still love it - good luck!<br /><br />You'll find it very hard to stay below an AT of 97 without any treatments. Beta blockers have changed my life - reducing my heart rate by about 30 bpm so allowing me to be SO much more active without crashing!

My partner is out at this moment buying me a heart monitor. I hope in two years I can make the same claim as you!

Constantly trying to re-dampen the chest strap is so awkward and often unsuccessful. I was about to buy another thinking it was a one off problem. Hearing of your success with the Mio is so encouraging.

P...Great post Sue! From another Mio Alpha fan... <br />PS If anyone using a Mio likes graphs and has a smart phone, the app Endomondo will collate all the HR data via bluetooth from the Mio. It can also tell you how long you've spent in each HR zone. Sally Burchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581869564363992356noreply@blogger.com
