5 things every runner wants for Christmas

An action tracker

Looking to work on your pace and overall fitness? Add a Mio Alpha 2 to your wish list. Not only will this stylish activity tracker monitor your pace, distance and calories burned, you’ll also be able to track your heart rate without having to wear a chest strap. You can then see all this information on the watch display and send all your stats wirelessly (via Bluetooth Smart 4.0) to the MIO GO app and other compatible apps, such as Wahoo and Strava.
