Mio Watch

So anyway, I went to the mall yesterday. I needed to buy a new sport watch. The wristband to my Nike watch, after less than a year, snapped off in a manner that makes it irreparable. So I went to Sports Authority to buy a new sports watch. And because this is the second time this has happened, I wasn't going to buy another Nike sports watch, and neither should you.

I settled on a Mio Watch. It's like a personal trainer on your wrist, or so they say. I'm not certain how I feel about that. Whenever I think of personal trainers, I think of some meat head screaming at me, and me slapping the shit out of him with a dumbbell. Then, a trial that ends up with a face-to-face meeting with Bubba. If it's all the same to you, I'll pass on incarceration. So I generally stay away from personal trainers.

But back to the watch. You enter your age, weight, fitness goal and all that. Then, it gives you a target for number of calories to be consumed in a day. It also tracks your heart rate and counts calories burned during your workout. So it seems like a pretty spiffy gadget. An unexpected spiffy gadget in my case. I was just looking for a sport watch that tracked my heart rate with reasonable accuracy. This thing is dead on accurate, which isn't creepy, or even creepish, but it is a creepism. I ain't making it up.
