I bought a Suunto T3 with Heart Rate Monitor etc, etc, etc


Following my past experience with Suunto, buying it is the easy part. Reading and understanding the manual requires a PHD.


At just about 42mm, not quite as big as his brother the Vector. Took me a month to figure out the Vector. Had to brush up on Barometric Pressure and Current Sea Level Pressure


Took it out for a spin during an am jog today. It alarms when you've reached max heart rate and also does when below min HR. I'm sure in a month I'll figure out what else it can do.

they dont make extra long straps and that has always stopped me from buying one.

...

the point is they should either make the straps longer or have a optional longer strap. The strap on the Xlander is a nice strap but too short for a 8" wrist.

Fantastic watch!!! I just never got round to calibrate the altitude measurement. I'll have to get it done by March for my skiing holiday in Canazei, Italy.
I got the foot-pod for the T6, and what a great feature! I get my exact running speed and distance. Uploading it to the PC together with my pulse readings (and altitude if I used it) gives a great training overview.

The only drawback on it is that using both the HR belt and foot-pod drains the T6's battery like Sinatra with a glass of champagne!


Enjoy!
