I own the T6 and was thinking about upgrading to the T6c... OK, no barometric pressure reading on the C (great for climbing or backpacking to help with predicting foul weather...). I also understand the C is made in China (T6 is from Finland)... Who's had both models, and can comment on the quality comparison? Anyone? Anyone?

Yes....I have used both models and find the T6C superior to the T6. It is a bummer not having the barometric reading on the T6C; however the watch does use a barameter to calculate elevation. Being made in China has had no impact on the quality of the watch....The T6C has the same quality production as the watches they make in Finland. The T6C is great to gather information such as: HR, Avg HR, Altitude(ascent and descent), EPOC, TE (training effect) and many other pieces of information. The T6C can be paired with the Suunto foot pod, GOS Pod, Bike Pod and Cadence Pod. The watch also sincs with you computer to track and log workouts.
