Product Description:
Designed for athletes on foot, bike, or skate, this multisport system from Suunto provides comprehensive heart rate monitoring while tracking speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, inline skating, and kayaking. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes of all types and skill level, this advanced-function combo pack includes the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer and GPS POD. The GPS POD employs the Global Positioning System to track speed and distance. It adds a new dimension to all POD-compatible Suunto heart rate monitors (Suunto T3, Suunto T4, and Suunto T6).

More than a heart rate monitor, the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer helps you train with confidence by providing real-time information on the aerobic benefit of each workout. Are you over or under-training? Sweating hard enough to reach your goals? The Suunto T3 knows and tells with real-time Training Effect.

More powerful than traditional zone training systems, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goal, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health, or shaving minutes off a marathon. By working from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto T3 analyzes your heartbeats and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. As a personal training guide, Training Effect is relative to each user. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0.

In addition to Training Effect, the Suunto T3 displays heart rate, calories burned, and zone training. It also shows speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs. The onboard logbook has a 15-workout memory. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch with split/lap.

Rating : - Used or Brand New
I purchased a used T3 (from a retail store) with a dead battery, scratches on the face and no manuals. After replacing the battery, I downloaded the manuals from the American Suunto website (www.SuuntoWatches.com) and found it was easier to understand by looking at the pictures in the user manual while reading the quick start guide. The features are advanced enough to track multi-disciplined or complex training sessions.

The HR monitor will not work very well without inputting your personal stats: height, weight, DOB, gender. I kept the activity level at 5, which is the default setting. "PolyWatch" creme removed all of the scratches. Then I put a Zagg (www.zagg.com) protective film over the face to prevent future scratches.

My T3 looks better than brand new. It was worth taking the time to learn how to use it.
