Excellent HR Device

Ranked #147 - Heart Rate Monitors
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.
