"An excellent training tool and still unctions as a great daily watch. So many tools in one unit, as long as you pay for the extra pods."pdxbiker

(4)

Ease of installation

Easy set-up, especially for those who have owned Polar products before. Software install very staright forward

(4)

Ease of use

Not entirely intuitive, but very usable. The software is not as easy to run as the watch but once you understabd it, things work smoothly

(5)

Quality of Construction

Scratch resistent face on watch. Sturdy. Good quality

(5)

Fit

Fits well, a bit big for small wrists

(5)

Comfort

watch and HRM belt fit very well and are comfortable

(5)

Adjustability

Very adjustable.

(4)

Durability

I worry about the watch band plastic holders breaking over time, but otherwise seems quite durable

(3)

Value

Softwae and wtch, with running foot pod can really add up, especially when adding cycling gear down the road

(4)

Appearance

Big watch, looks like it could summon the mother ship, not quite as sexy as the t6 Suunto, but still cool looking

(0)

Customer Service

Have not needed to use

(5)

Performance

Works great, measures cadence for running/cycling, has GPS abilities, altitude, temp, EVERYTHING. talk about data overload.

Strengths

So many features on this one watch. Pretty amazing training tool for most tri sports

Weakness

Does not measure HR during swim. Software hard to use without lots of playing at first and no EPOC data crunching. Expensive but not as much as Suunto I believe. Also, the ability to simply read the temp or altitude whenever you want to.
