Product Description
The Suunto t3c Heart Rate Monitor Watch uses built-in Training Effect programming to provide extremely accurate, real-time training data based on your personal fitness level. A serious workout for a recreational hiker is just a warm-up for a marathon runner. The t3c Heart Rate Monitor uses information your body provides to let you know how hard you should be training instead of relying on a predetermined program. This Suunto watch also includes a 15-workout memory, real-time heart rate and calorie-burning data, and PC compatibility to track your progress as your fitness increases. Thanks to Suunto's Comfort Belt, you won't even notice you're wearing a chest strap while you train.

 It works October 5, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've only had it a few weeks, but I've used it almost daily, and it works reliably with one very minor glitch: its sensitivity in the first minute or two of a workout is questionable. Sometimes the heart rate display in the first few minutes doesn't change when I know full well my heart rate has. This is probably related to electrical conductivity. As soon as you start to perspire at all it's 100% reliable, and I've avoided this problem by pre-moistening the contacts. I think one can buy special conductive gel like what they use in EKGs. Anyway, this is minor. I've used it on twelve 50-180 minute runs and never had any problem except in the first minute or two. The chest strap is also comfortable enough that you can forget it's there.
 Not Suunto Good October 2, 2008

This is not a very good product for Suunto. The chest monitor belt broke as soon as I took it out of the box. Not user-friendly.
And the seller does not accept returned goods that are out of the box, and then, only within 3 days. Ridiculous.
 nice upgrade June 18, 2008

Pros:
Huge upgrade from my previous Nike brand heart monitoring watch. Sleek, discrete profile, perfect display options. This color (black polished) to me is the least 'eye-sore' option for this product. Easy to set-up. Being able to easily lock/unlock the buttons minimizes accidental starts and stops of the funtions. Thorough design for basic cardio-training.
Cons:
It's not easy to tell online, but the wrist band has a shiny plastic tone. The buttons/labels are very discrete, so navigating the funtions may take some referencing to the manual a few times. The watch face is easy to read but scratches easily, so recommend the watch be removed when doing tasks that may lead to bumping or rubbing the watch across abrasive objects.
