 Suunto T3 and Mountain Bike POD Cycling Combo Pack By: Suunto Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 6 More Information Suunto T3 Heart Rate Monitor  On: 2007-10-01I bought this as a suggestion of one of my biking buddies. He has the T4 but I opted for the T3. I also ordered the PC Pod and Bike Pod. Quality The first bike pod did not work, the second one did. The replacment process was great on that one. The T3 is pretty nice but within 30 days it has a dead spot in the display running from top to bottom so that 0s look like ( ). For this I have to return it to the manufactur rather than amazon. My buddy has problems with his pc pod working so Im not too wild about the quality so far. Funcionality It works very well and has not ever lost signal. It has 99% of the features I want but it is very complicated and frustrating to learn. Im a visual learner and have a tough time trying to follow the button sequence to get where I need to be. The screen is small so the graph indicators around the edge are worthless to me. I leave it on the heart rate or TE most times and download for study later. Works great!  On: 2007-08-04I had no problems setting this up for use on my new bike. Wireless works great. Only issue was getting transmitter to stay stable (fixed by using part of a tire innertube cut to fit the front fork). Sofisticaded does not have to mean complicate! On: 2007-05-07After I miss a couple of polar watches, I decide to give a chance to this brand. As I could read includes a lot more features than a Polar watch of the same price level. Still it is far from being "wear and play". Its interface is not intuitive at all, and after three or four visits to the manual (Now I understand what the users manual are for), I still get stuck in the middle when I push the "wrong" button. Maybe is a matter of being familiar with, but in the meanwhile I found it very complicate to use without having the manual at hand (something complicate when youre in the middle of your spinning class). On the pros, is watch that you can use as your day to day activities, its looks is a lot better that a polar. Suunto T3 & Mountain Bike POD On: 2007-03-29I really like the heart rate monitor on this T3. The heart rate keeps me informed just how hard or easy I am riding my bike. The Training Effect function is also a very useful feature. The T3 is a little complicated at first, but with constant use it becomes easier to use. I like the bike POD also as I can enter all the data off the T3 as I sit in front of my computer. Suunto T3  On: 2007-03-29Good quality product that came very quickly with standard delivery. A great heart rate monitor with a bunch of other good features. Outstanding On: 2007-03-28I really enjoy the T3. The training effect is a new concept to me but seems to generally measure the intensity of my workout. It is nice to have a single measure to summarize my workouts. The watch has very nice log features as well. The Bike POD works great. Very nice to have speed, distance and all recorded along with heart rate. I have no complaints with the watch. |
