MIO Motiva Petite Pink Review and Giveaway (Closed)

August 25, 2009 By Crystal 291 Comments

Being a mommy to three very active children, I have to do my best to be able to keep up with these little people. Not only do I need to be able to keep up with them, I need to do all that I can to make sure that I’m healthy so that I’ll be around for a very long time. That is where the MIO Motiva Petite Pink comes in handy!

I was recently asked if I would like to do a review of a MIO Watch product and after looking through the many choices I choose the MIO Motiva Petite Pink. There were a couple of reasons I chose this one, but to be really honest, I just love anything PINK!

The MIO Motiva Petite Pink features:

On demand, ECG accurate heart rate, without a chest strap
Patented calorie management system that allows users to track calorie intake throughout the day and calories burned during exercise, against a daily calorie target.
Visual indicator of exertion level
Percentage of maximum heart rate display
Can be used with the MIO 3500 Calorie Club program.
Heart rate recovery timer.
Five (5) exercise timers: Count up, Count down, Count up with warm-up, Walk/Run, and Repeat.
User accessible battery hatch.
Interchangeable watch band with colors to fit your every mood (BONUS band included).
BONUS: MioSense Guide to healthy living

mio watch blackpink band I was so excited to receive my MIO Motiva Petite Pink strapless heart rate watch. I immediately tore into the package and starting reading up on how to get it started. One of the first things I noticed was that it came with 2 different bands. It came with a solid pink band plus it came with a black/pink band.

This little bitty watch can do some much:

Display time, date, weekday and your name or initials on the screen.
You can set a daily alarm.
You can enter your calorie intake and it will also display your net calorie intake.
The watch also features an exercise timer for workouts and other activities, 5 timer modes including counting up from zero, counting down from zero, count down to zero and then count up, walk and run timer, and count down to zero then repeat.
Measure your Heart Rate Recovery – a good indicator of fitness level.
Measure and display your Resting Heart Rate.
You can set your personal data and weight managment goals.

Waking up your MIO and setting everything is actually quite simple. I was able to do it all by myself without any assistance from my husband. The User’s Guide is very thorough and covers every detail. If you get stumped or confused, you can view an interactive demo on the MIO website.

I’ve been using my MIO Motiva Petite Pink for about 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I’ve already received several compliments from people at church. I love the ease of use. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with technology but the MIO Motiva Petite Pink is very user-friendly.

When wearing the MIO Motiva Petite Pink I instantly have access to my heart rate. This is especially important to me in the middle of a workout. I can also easily track my calorie intake and burn. Doing so allows me to strengthen my heart, increase my endurance and manage my waistline!

If you are looking to lose a little extra weight, the MIO 3500 Calorie Club is designed for those of every fitness level who are looking for personalized health and fitness feedback. Being a member of the 3500 Calorie Club gives you access to:

MIO Forums – get answers to all your health and fitness questions
Master Trainers – learn more about the MIO team
Chart your progress – set goals and see your progression
Weight Management – find out how many calories you should be eating and buring throughout the day
Fitness Reminder – set yourself a daily workout reminder
Nutritional Information (external link) – find out just how many calories are in the food you eat

The only suggestion I have for the MIO Motiva Petite Pink would be to add a pedometer along with all the other awesome features. I think adding the pedometer would truly make this an all-in-one fitness watch.
