Subject: RE: Suunto T6D vs Garmin I have got to say - nothing special about Suunto. I purchased the T6C a while back and have not really been that impressed. Things I have are the heart rate strap, foot pod, and the GPS pod. I had the foot pod first and found that I could never get it calibrated very well. I just gave up on that and lived with the error. I bought the GPS pod and it works a little better, but I find that I cannot really use the current speed because it jumps all over - I can really only use it for mile splits, which seem to be OK.
As for the HR, it seems that when I start working out, it always has the HR peak at about 190 bpm for about 5 min and somehow it settles down. I know my HR isn't that high that early in a workout.
I guess the short story from me is - I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. I was actually thinking of replacing it with a Garmin unit of some sort.
