Mio has been in the fitness tracker market for a long time, but it's seldom mentioned in the same breath as Fitbit, Jawbone, and Garmin. Mio was one of the first companies to focus on wrist-bound heart rate monitoring, and its monitors are known for their accuracy. The $129 Fuse is the middle-of-the-road Mio device, competing with some of the newest products from Fitbit and Garmin. It features an optical heart rate monitor and daily activity tracking, but not much else.

Now after a few updates, the Fuse also tracks sleep, and it works with Mio's new PAI app, which uses its heart rate analysis to give you personal activity intelligence points when you keep your pulse elevated. While the Mio Go app gives you a daily picture of your activity, PAI provides a long-term view to encourage you to complete high-intensity activities as often as you can. If you're considered a mid-level Fitbit or Garmin device, the Fuse is another viable option if you're looking for a no-frills, no-nonsense tracker.
