Suunto t6c Heart Rate Monitor description

The Suunto t6c Heart Rate Monitor puts a professional sports training lab right on your wrist. Get real time heart rate and calorie readings with the textile comfort chest belt, and analyze all of your data at home with the included software. The t6c features a fully customizable screen layout, and an altimeter for hill training and altitude analysis. This techy Suunto heart rate monitor also includes all basic watch functions including dual time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch with lap, interval, and countdown timers. Convert your t6c for cycling and track your speed, distance, and cadence with the Suunto Cadence POD or Bike POD (sold separately).

Bottom Line: Like a bunch of little guys in lab coats working away on your wrist.

The T6c has some serious upgrades from the previous model. The new comfort belt really is much more comfy than the stiff plastic one from before. I've really been liking the customizable screens, there are two of them. You can choose what info you'd like displayed and in what order. It's one of the only heart rate monitors to give altitude. Also nice to have cadence and training effect on the new version. definitely one of the best watches out there to take you across all your activities!

I've been used a Suunto T6 for 2 years and just upgraded to the T6C. It was a great product before, and they've really made some nice usability features. This device is literally a sports lab on your wrist. If you want to track your workout data this is the ultimate. If you only want casual monitoring of HR, don't spend the premium. But if you are a gadget lover, and want a comfortable and attractive watch with many many features...this is the one for you! I love the programmability of the display...you can pick the stats you want to see, in the order you want to see them...when you are cycling or working out you don't want to fiddle, you just want the data there at a glance. All the data is available after the workout on the watch...the old model required you to dump to a PC to get some data, such as calories burned...but this gives you everything. I have not loaded the new training software on my PC yet, so I can't comment on the changes...the old software is good though...I've had much more success and remained motivated in workouts by tracking my data....sets up your own personal competition...some like that, others find it the opposite of why they get out and cycle...I understand both sides...and don't always measure everything...but when you want to know how you are doing...the T6c will pile on the info.
