 MioPink Motiva Heart Rate/Calorie Monitor and Watch September 16, 2008
I really do like the watch. It has a much more accurate calorie counter than the ones on the equipment at the gym. I was flabbergasted after spending an hour each day at the gym to find that I had only burned 350 calories (per the equipment) 2.5 miles running and 8 on the stationary bike. Those are averages. After buying the watch entering in my weight, age, and heart rate I found I was actually burning between 750 and 800 calories in my hour workout! Whew! It is much cheaper than the Bodybugg that I was also looking at, and for me serves the same purpose and is smaller and less conspicuous. I recommend it.
LOVE THE WATCH...BUT... September 15, 2008
This is my third mio...it is my third because I love them, it is my third because the watch doesn't hold up when you wear it day in and day out. The glass and metal get pretty beat up when you have a job like nursing. But, I keep buying them because I love the watch. The motiva is a little advanced for me in the technologic sense. I have had difficulty trying to do the cool down mode. I keep hitting the wrong button and it doesn't work right, but that would be me not the watch...anyway...this is a great watch, and though it is a little big, maybe you smaller women could try the petite size and love it like I do.
 Mio Motiva Heart Rate Monitor August 18, 2008
After careful research, I decided to get this watch/heart rate monitor and I have been quite happy with it from the very beginning. Following the instructions that came with the watch was very easy, and after 2 days I knew it well enough to not having to carry the instructions with me. When it comes to the actual use, it's very helpful as long as you don't mind inputting all the calories you ate into the watch. I was able to set up a realistic goal for myself that this watch is certainly making it quite easy for me to reach. Using it in the gym to count calories burnt is even easier, all you have to remember is to calculate your heart rate often (the instruction tells you how to do it and it's beyond easy), during the exercise and during rest times. I am quite happy with this watch and although it is big, I only use it in the gym and hence the size doesn't bother me. I would recommend it.
great for data heads! August 15, 2008
This was my second Motiva watch (previously had shape elite) Love the user changeable battery feature and no chest strap monitoring. Nice design and easy to check heart rate when walking or light jogging, not so easy when at a full run to keep fingers on testing site.
Great motivator! June 29, 2008

I LOVE my Motiva! I've had it for a couple of months now and my favorite thing is the ability to track how much energy you've expended in order to loose one pound of weight. This really is motivational for me, I have a weekly goal and my Motiva encourages me all they way. As other reviewers have mentioned, the watch is large, I wouldn't really call it a fashion statement, but I only wear it when I'm working out, so the size has never bothered me. The only negative thing I can say about my Motiva, is there are a lot of steps to reset the tracking programs and when I've lost weight and entered in the new info, the one pound tracker will reset itself. This could totally be "user error," but it's happened to me a couple of times, so I'm still trying to figure it all out. Overall I would highly recommend this product if you need a good heart rate monitor and a little extra encouragement.
