Fantastic product. Which gives you a very comprehensive range of features to monitor your fitness levels. Relatively easy to use. But be careful you do not scratch or bang the watch. I had to buy the face shields. Which are not pretty, but will protect this expensive investment.

I’m 54, I’m running twice a week (12 km each time) and was searching for tools that could help me to have a better training. I had a Polar for 15 years, but found wasn’t sufficient. So I looked first for a new Polar and finally switched to Suunto because of it’s ability to measure my tiredness after training and the global efficiency of my running, using all my personal parameters (for example, EPOC).
I found here in my Suunto a very good product, that could help. The belt is very comfortable and I was satisfied with all the measures I discovered. Surprising all what I got from the watch.
Drawbacks (to justify 4 stars versus 5) – To my mind, directions are not sufficient or could be clearer to exploit all the possibilities of this watch. I was also slightly disappointed with the software (training manager) as there is finally no direct coach function. “Just” showing you the results (details and summary are though excellent) but not proposing you something to have a better training and guide you.
You’ll have to do your DD and go further than the pdf guide…
Not yet tried the foot pod though but I realized I was running too hard (over-training) and when I had to change my running.
Despite these details, you can go ahead with it, you will be satisfied, this is a very good watch for running.

I owned the T3 watch for 3 years and was impressed with its functionality and durability. I wanted some new features so I bought the T6c from Outdoors Gear via Amazon in October. I have used it 2-3 times a week for nearly three months and suddenly I’m having a lot of problems with getting it to pair properly with the heart rate strap. It will be working fine when I leave the house and then in the middle of my run, it goes blank and no longer reads the heart data. I have followed instructions on “re-pairing” but with poor results. I called their service center and they are all busy and rushed. I find the product concept good but it looks like SUUNTO is taking short cuts on quality parts and quality control in their factory. A $500 heart rate monitor watch that breaks after 3 months is cause for concern. I’m stuck with it now and have to follow the SUUNTO ‘busy’ service plan to eventually get my watch back which is a HUGE hassle considering the product price and reputation of the company. Be careful, it looks like SUUNTO is getting sloppy!

The bad …. the first one of these didn’t work properly. It was DOA and then went through two batteries in a week. That said, the guys at [...] were really helpful and sent me a new one very promptly. Buyers should be aware that Suunto quality control is not always perfect and I had a very similar problem with their Smart Belt a couple of years ago, although they replaced that under warranty.
The good … it’s a big improvement on the old T6. The ability to customize the screens is very useful and it’s also compatible with any pods you may have if you’re upgrading either from the T6 or any of the other T-series watches

Upon receiving the T6c I was excited to try it but soon became fustrated. Am disappointed in the user manual you have to play with it. Am very satisfied after figuring it out but the included software is lacking, though this has been pointed out by others. Overall would recomend just make sure you have time to play with it.
