If you’ve been sitting on the sideline mulling over which fitness tracker to buy, here’s another to consider. For a limited time only, Mio Global is taking $30 off the Mio Alpha 2 heart rate watch. Yep you heard me right.
I reviewed the Mio Alpha 2 back in February of 2015 and gave it high marks in terms of functions as a dependable piece of training equipment. Not only does it feature EKG accurate heart rate monitoring from the wrist, it is also able to transmit the HR data via Bluetooth to 3rd party apps. The extra large display ensures clear visibility in the toughest training conditions.
Though it’s not GPS enabled, the Mio Alpha 2 features pace, speed and distance calculation without the need to be connected to a smartphone. During my review, I took the Mio Alpha 2 for a 1.2km run round a stadium track and it was near spot on with an estimated distance of 1.24km; definitely an acceptable margin of error.
List of features:
- Wrist worn EKG accurate heart rate monitor
