 Excellent HRM and stop watch - pc link is ok but should be updated to USB Mar 08, 2006
By J. Pemberton
"JRP"
This is an excellent heart rate monitor with the standard features (max, min alarms, time in and out of zone etc...) its also an excellent stop watch. I download the data using Suunto's Activity Monitor software - which allows you to export the data to Excel! Plotting HR versus altitude is very useful for training.
I only have a few minor complaints: (1) Battery life is terrible - this thing (and the chest strap) eat up 4 batteries a year. (2) When battery life starts to fade interference is a big issue - fortunately the data can be edited so you can remove "spikes". (3) PC interface is serial cable - should be USB. (4) Suunto software is veru buggy and crashes all the time (no data lost fortunately)

 Excellent watch, terrible PC interface Feb 04, 2005
By J. Pemberton
"JRP"
The features on this watch are fantastic. It is an excellent heart rate monitor, compass, alitmeter, and barometer. However the serial PC link is terrible and stops working frequently. I have had my X6HR for one month and it no longer connects to the PC (the main reason I bought this watch in the first place). For some reason, Suunto still uses a serial connection, claiming on their website that this is the latest technology (more like the cheapest). If you plan to use this watch for its PC data transfer function, be very cautious and keep an eye on the warranty. Also the Suunto Activity Manager software is terrible and crashes frequently. I haven't lost any data (yet) but its very annoying.

Excellent sports watch, so so companion software Jul 12, 2006
By mj405

Great multifunction watch. Have it since 2003.
You can change the battery yourself!
Upload to PC works fine, but companion software does not allow for some analyses which I would like to do, such as integrate number of heart beats over the work out.
Also, a bit ckunky for everyday use.
Today would go for the T6

 Horrible PC software - A disgrace for Suunto May 12, 2010
By Bass Hound
I own this watch and I cannot get the software to load on my PC without it crashing. It worked once while I was on XP but since upgrading to Vista it is a complete disaster.
When it worked the software was hardly usable.
While the T6 may be a good watch - the idea is to be able to use the downloaded data for your training program. The way the software works this is simply not practical.
I cannot in good conscience recommend this watch (due to the software) for anyone who want to manage their training data.
There are better solutions out there one of which is cycleops for cyclists. I have no idea what to use for a runner may be one of the polar products.
Suunto should be ashamed of the lousy software. I know a few people from Finland and they are a proud people but you would not know it from this piece of software. I hope Suunto reads this and will do something about it. Pity for such a nice watch to be hamstrung by junky software.
BTW I downloaded the latest software v2.20

By Larry F. Rogers
I love this thing. It would be hard to live without. All the features work exactly as described. Instructions are simple and clear. Great product.
