I like this watch, overall, but it did take a while to get used to wearing it. Let me be clear, this is the biggest watch I have seen classified as a woman's watch. This is its biggest drawback, because if its not comfortable, you aren't going to wear it. After I got used to it, I began to like the watch a lot more and forgave its large size. After all, it needs to be big to accommodate the heart rate reader.
I find the heart rate reader accurate most of the time +/- 5bpm. I find it underestimates calories burned. It does not monitor your heart rate like one of the chest straps. You have to read your heart rate periodically, which I haven't had any troubles doing while working out. Your wrist can't be above heart, which isn't a problem for me. I like having the other features available: chronometer, weight, calorie goal, calorie counting, but they are not entirely intuitive. Skimming the manual is recommended. I like the display when you read your heart rate, it displays your %max very clearly, and if you have the chronometer going, it will then display calories burned. The back light is also nice.
Pros: clear + easy display, simple heart rate reading, calorie counting feature, interchangeable/replaceable bands are available to order
Cons: not entirely intuitive interface, very BIG watch, doesn't continually monitor heart rate Get more detail about Mio Shape Select Petite Heart Rate Watch.
