Shirts run on the larger size. I'm 6'1" / 180lbs and would generally wear a LARGE. The MEDIUM of this shirt fits perfectly. Good quality and stylish.

Suunto T6 FootPod

Suunto Bike POD

Suunto Bike POD

Rating for this product: 5 September 20, 2005

The only issue I had with this unit was getting the spoke magnet aligned properly. If you look quickly at the manual it seems to show that the spoke magnet could be placed anywhere within the circumference of the sensor of the actual bike pod. However, in actual fact, the spoke magnet needs to be placed at one end or the other of the sensor. Once I corrected this the unit has been working flawlessly.

If you stop your ride you have a few minutes before the connection to the bike pod times out, so you must remember to "re-connect" with the bike pod before continuing. This is no big deal really, after all most bike computers time out as well to save battery life. The same thing happens here, it's just the watch screen is not blank (like a bike computer would be) so you have to be good at remembering to connect if you make long rest stops.

This is a solid piece of gear in my book. Here are a few notes.

Some have mentioned issues with the HRM. First off, the chest strap is definitely comfortable. It seems that the center section of the HRM strap (where the battery is located) is not as flexible as some other manufactures. So if you have a boney/protruding sternum it causes the electrodes to be further away from your chest which could be a reason for intermittent data. This is pure speculation on my part from observing how the chest strap fits on a friend. I have had no major issues. Although I do try to sleep with it occasionally and have notice that there are occasional drop outs during the course of a night. Given that my body is not sweating and the electrodes need to be moist/wet for good contact I tried using some Vaseline and this seemed to stop the drop outs.

I purchased the foot pod (see review under product) as well as the bike pod with the unit and everything is functioning spot on. A Suunto rep told me that they're working on a cadence option as well.

I'm still investigating the software a bit more in terms of what specific graphs mean and how to make them useful. While initially it's great to see workout data on the screen it takes some time to collect and observe the data and understand what's going on from that perspective. So maybe I'll write a review in a few months with more specifics pertaining to the software.

Thus far I'm stoked with the new setup.
