"Not quite as expected...." - Review of Suunto T6 Watch

After reading the scientific background and articles on which the software is based (FirstBeat) one can find that the T6 apparently does not measure 7 variables, but rather measures heart rate, and estimates the remaining variables. EPOC is a real "factor" in training, but again is "estimated," and not calculated. FirstBeat speculates that their software does this, and Suunto agrees apparently. The system works "OK," but could use cadence, power and other features on the bike. As a heart rate monitor alone, I have never had a problem. No crosstalk, etc. The T6, after reading the literature, does not seem to do what I expected based on all the adds.
