How does MIO calculate the number of calories burned during a workout?

The following models will calculate the number of calories burned during a workout: MIO Classic Select & Classic Select Petite, MIO Shape, Shape Select & Petite, MIO Sport, Sport Select & Petite, MIO Shape Elite, MIO Ultimate,  MIO Motiva, and MIO  Drive. 

This is calculated using your personal data (age, weight and gender), the length of your workout and the level of exertion (elevated heart rate).  To get a reliable calorie count be sure to program the watch with your personal data and while exercising take frequent heart rate readings.  MIO watches are not designed to calculate your calorie burn at rest; the calorie burn function is designed to be used when your heart rate is elevated by physical exercise.

“I would just like to tell you how much I like my Mio Watch. I have had the watch for several years and love being able to monitor my heart rate without having to wear a chest strap. I have told members of my Cardiac Wellness group about the watch and several have purchased the watch for themselves. Thanks for making a truly accurate and useful product.”
