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.

Both work essentially the same, the "Road" pod sensor (http://www.backcountry.com/store/SUN0108/Suunto-Road-Bike-POD.html?RSC_ID=WR_SUN0108) is just integrated with a skewer and is mounted through the hub, where the "Bike" pod sensor has a universal fork mount.

Better Memory

By:
November 24, 2008

I also just upgraded to the Fusion T6c and it's a great improvement. It has the same amount of memory but if I'm going to run more than 60 miles I can turn off the R-R recording and I can record for more than 100 miles or 24 hours. However your Training Manager will not count the workout correctly so don't forget to turn it back on.

It will work on Mountain Bikes as long as you don't have a beefed-up Thru-Axle, like a 20mm... if you have a "standard" quick-release on your mtb, you should be good to go.

Excellent HR Device

By:
September 8, 2008

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.

This does have the capability to pair 2 different belts to the watch. Sorry for the mis-info on the earlier answer. just discovered this on my last run. The T6 includes software to track workouts, or the Suunto community page is free.

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!

you'll need to use the M (memory) belt and docking station to see your data, since the straps can't transmit signals under water

great features great tool.

By:

Great watch. I had the Suunto x6-HRM in the past (daughter threw it overboard) and this watch's data feed seems much more accurate. While I liked the look of the other watch better this watch is significantly lighter and more comfortable. No problems with the chest strap or with it cutting out mid workout.

Only drawback is difficulty taking advantage of all the data analysis. It is easy to get the setup going and to download the info to a computer but I haven't had the time to really analyze the information or use suuntosport.com.

Can't wait to add the gps and bike pods.

Unfortunately not. Unless you're running an intel-based mac w/bootcamp or parrallels or something. Suck.Suunto is working on a web-based interface. should be ready this spring. Standby...

The watch is great. Beware the HR belt

By:
March 2, 2009

I have had great experience with Suunto products over many years so I decided to go with Suunto when I found out that I needed a heart monitor. I ignored the user reviews on the Suunto site that warned about clasp connection/communication problems on the comfort belt. I almost immediately discovered that communication from the belt to the watch would come and go without warning. Jiggling the clasp frequently restored communication. I purchased a new belt directly from Suunto and the original belt is going back in for repair/replacement. The problem seems to be that the clasps contain contacts that activate the belt. The clasps turn the belt on and off. If either clasp(right or left) has any wobble in it at all then you are likely going to have problems. The “new” belt looks the same but seems to have better tolerances in the clasp connection. Otherwise, everything else is great. I am especially impressed with the software and my cardiologist was quite impressed with the reports. I wear the device for 8-10 hours per day and have had no comfort issues. Electrode jell is cheap and a good way to insure contact for many hours.

Does Backcountry.com price match? I can get the Suunto T6C Fusion

Does Backcountry.com price match? I can get the Suunto T6C Fusion from Amazon.com for $285, free shipping and no tax. I just ordered a jacket from you and if you can meet or beat $285, will also order this watch. Please let me know. ThanksChris

Pretty Sweet

By:
December 1, 2008

This watch is pretty sweet. Altitude is super finicky, but everything else seems to work great. The only other problem is i sometimes get different readings between the watch and the software. Otherwise, i highly recommend it.

I just replaced my HR battery after 4 months. I use it 4-8 times a week for workouts ranging from 20 minutes to 23 hours. The watch battery is still going strong.
