Suunto PC POD - 2006 BCS

very simple and limited which surprised me considering Suunto's usually complex user interfaces that have tons of features for you to discover over the life of the product. overall an awesome addition to your suunto arsenal but the power is in the watch, this just moves the information to your computer for expanded storage not much more than that.

This goes along nicely with my Suunto T3 to help track my gym workouts. The device is EXTREMELY small. I can see myself pulling my hair out trying to find where I set it down last. PC Pod plugs into the USB port with only about an inch or so remaining. Entire device is dull black in color, so it blends in well to hide its self. How can something so small cost $99.00. Range for downloading from the watch is about 3 feet. Somewhat longer range if you link it to your hear rate monitor belt. Device seems to be very dependent on "line of sight" for the connection to work properly. Doesn't take much to drop the connection if you move something between the PC Pod and the watch/belt. Other than these minor issues, device works as stated. Overall, I am happy with the unit.

Great STEALTHY unit. I've overlooked it many times. You should mark it brightly to find it easier. Other than that, the unit works great. I am very happy with the unit

After having bought the Suunto T3 and GPS POD, this PC POD completes the program. This puts into a visual tool the results of your hard work and helps the user know what areas to improve on.

Well I couldn't think of anything more problematic: the install of the software took over an hour; after trying to install all of the various patches and hot fixes, the thing still fails to connect. Their web page has little useful information on corrections, and without the stellar (seriously the best ever) help from Backcountry.com, I don't think I would have a chance of fixing this.
