Product Description

Heart Rate, Reinvented.

MIO Alpha is the world’s first strapless, continuous heart rate sport watch that's as accurate as a chest strap at performance speeds — even while running over 14mph! Totally unobtrusive, MIO Alpha delivers maximum performance in ultimate comfort.

Before Alpha, the most common way to get an accurate heart rate continuously while exercising was to wear a strap around your chest. With Alpha’s innovative technology, the world of heart rate monitoring will be changed forever!

How Does MIO Alpha Work?

MIO Alpha is a true scientific breakthrough. Technology proven accurate at rest in medical use is now robust enough for sport. Two light beams and an electro-optical cell “sense” the volume of blood under your skin. Sophisticated algorithms are applied to the pulse signal so that the heart’s true rhythm can be detected even while running at performance speeds.
