Product Description

Almost half the volume of its predecessor, the Suunto Foot POD is a lightweight wireless enhancement for your Suunto t3c, Suunto t4c, or Suunto t6c that enables you to measure and record speed and distance information in real-time. Speed limit alerts warn you if you stray above or below your personal limits, making the Suunto Foot POD the ideal tool for marathon pacing and mixed-intensity training. For interval training, the ability to capture running speed and distance, as well as automatic lap times and distances, makes the Suunto Foot POD an invaluable training companion. The Suunto Foot POD complements your Suunto heart rate monitor and Suunto Training Manager software. The combination of your run data and physiological data provides a complete picture of your training. After your run, you can use Suunto Training Manager software to view speed profiles and graphs for comprehensive post-training analysis.

3.0 out of 5 stars More convenient than GPS., December 21, 2008

First, I purchased the Suunto GPS and found it to be a pain to use. It involved waiting for 5 to 10 minutes to recieve a GPS satellite connection. I often run trails, and the GPS would loose connection and leave me feeling lost in the woods. I "bit the bullet" and purchased the foot pod to be more convenient. It is definetly more convenient and has worked well indoors and out. The accuracy is questionable at times and often does not match the treadmill or my Garmin GPS, but it is in the ballpark. I would buy this rather than the GPS if I had it to do over.

I bought the footpod to use with my T6C for Ultra-Marathon training. With just over 100 miles on it I have had no issues with the function of this device. Once calibrated it is very accurate (many comparison runs wearing it and my Garmin 301, both measure very close), and works better than my Garmin 301 when running wooded trails where the GPS can't get a clear look at the sky. No issues in the rain or when crossing creeks, and the device itself it hardly noticeable when on your shoe.

The only problem I have with it is it is very difficult to detach from the base plate when you want to move it to another pair of shoes. Maybe I am doing it wrong, but I can't seem to find "the right way" and I have a tough go everytime I want to move it from my trail shoes to my road shoes. On a positive note, I have no fear whatsoever of losing it...

** As an update to this review, after about 6 months having this foot pod, it died. I was wearing it on a day after it rained, so I'm guessing I got some water in it... but you would think they would put some kind of water proofing into this product! Too bad, too, since I really liked this item. **

I really like the foot pod. I'm in the Air Force and run quite often to keep myself in shape, and I have always found it hard to gauge my speed... usually I have to use lap times, but by the time I make a lap, I'm either already getting worn out because I ran too fast or I realize I'm going too slow and I have to really push on the next 5 laps to make up for it. With the Suunto T3 + this foot pod, I can easily watch my speed and adjust throughout my run. I have found that the foot pod is a little bit off - about .01 mile per 1/4 mile, but I have easily adapted to that.

I also find it really nice to be able to run anywhere I want and know the exact distance I went. Super nice.

I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who runs.
