The two-pin clasp that secures the Fuse on your wrist has a tendency to pop out of the strap.

That doesn’t mean it’s entirely free from design issues, though. It does sit securely around the wrist and, weighing in at less than 40g, it’s not bulky or heavy. The matte black and aqua coloured model we tested was for regular-sized wrists measuring 149-179mm but there’s a larger Crimson version which accommodates wrist sizes from 156-208mm.

One thing the Fuse does have over its tracking rivals is that it’s water resistant to 30 metres, so you can hit the swimming pool and still monitor your heart rate. It’s big in comparison to the Fitbit Charge HR (image below), which also packs in an optical heart-rate sensor. Taking design cues from traditional sports watches, it’s a rugged, silicone-rubber band with a watch-style clasp. If you like your wrist-based tracking to be done discreetly, then the Fuse doesn’t really fit the bill.

It’s a near identical setup to the Adidas Mi Fit Smart band, which uses the same Mio optical heart rate sensor, but you also get daily activity tracking similar to that offered with a Fitbit or a Jawbone tracker.Īt £130, it’s £10 cheaper than the Fit Smart and £10 more expensive than the Fitbit Charge HR so it’s competitively priced with its closest rivals. The Mio Fuse is a fitness-tracking wristband where heart-rate monitoring is the headline feature.
