Product Description
Product Description
Designed for athletes on foot, bike, or skate, this multisport system from Suunto provides comprehensive heart rate monitoring while tracking speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, inline skating, and kayaking. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes of all types and skill level, this advanced-function combo pack includes the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer and GPS POD. The GPS POD employs the Global Positioning System to track speed and distance. It adds a new dimension to all POD-compatible Suunto heart rate monitors (Suunto T3, Suunto T4, and Suunto T6).
More than a heart rate monitor, the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer helps you train with confidence by providing real-time information on the aerobic benefit of each workout. Are you over or under-training? Sweating hard enough to reach your goals? The Suunto T3 knows and tells with real-time Training Effect.
More powerful than traditional zone training systems, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goal, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health, or shaving minutes off a marathon. By working from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto T3 analyzes your heartbeats and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. As a personal training guide, Training Effect is relative to each user. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0.
In addition to Training Effect, the Suunto T3 displays heart rate, calories burned, and zone training. It also shows speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs. The onboard logbook has a 15-workout memory. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch with split/lap.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty decent,
By
This review is from: Suunto T3 and GPS POD Multisport Combo Pack (Sports)
You should take a look at the T3 (alone) reviews for some good feedback. I really struggled whether to give this 3 stars or 4 -- really is more like a 3.7. It's good. I like that it keeps track of data, I can see how many calories I burned last week, last month, or the month before, or the month before that, etc., and keep track of how I'm doing. And the Training Effect feature is pretty cool, as is the fact that it automatically updates your activity level (and makes it tougher to hit a given Training Effect score as your activity level increases, since presumably you're in better shape).
Downsides are that the face scratches VERY easily. Manual isn't the greatest, but now that I know how it works I don't find it all THAT confusing (but it's by no means straightforward). I don't mind the rubber watchband -- it's light and water-resistant. But one end of the chest strap broke, so that the clasp pops out relatively easily, which is very annoying. I've since taped that end on, and get in and out with the other end. If it weren't for the face scratches and the chest strap breaking, I'd easily give this a 4. The GPS pod is pretty cool, though a little finicky. I've lost the signal sometimes, and it's hard to tell that it's been lost (figured out when it was clear after 1/4 mile that my distance wasn't updating), and then hard to get it back. Also, as far as speed, it's not instantaneous (which makes sense, since it's GPS) -- think of it more as a rolling 30-second average, which might make it look like you've gone really slow and then all of a sudden really fast when it catches up. The software (which I don't have) presumably smooths it out some when it transfers to the computer. It's definitely less accurate than some other means of judging distance, particularly if you make a lot of turns, but still pretty cool as a reference. It was bought for me as a present, and I've been very happy with it, but all-in-all it is a bit expensive for what you get.

Great all around device!,
By mpoe (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Suunto T3 and GPS POD Multisport Combo Pack (Sports)
I have had this device for over a month now using it 4-6 times per week. I have used the heart-rate monitor and the GPS together for cycling and running, and have used just the heart-rate monitor during weight training workouts. I use the interval timer a lot during my cardio workouts to raise and lower my intensity levels.
That said, I am very impressed with the T3/GPS combo for the following reasons: X Accurate heart rate measurements X Seemless connectivity between HR belt and T3 X Accurate speed and distance measurements with GPS X Tracks and notifies HR zones X Tracks calories burned X Stopwatch and interval timer The T3 has a lot of other features that I haven't used to great extent yet, but I have used the TE (training effect) feature, which helps you to measure the overall effect of your workout on your cardio vascular fitness, to measure and increase the intensity of my workouts when needed. I've also used the logs on the unit to review the recorded workout data. It stores a year's worth of workout data that you can view from the T3 or you can buy a PC pod and download it to your computer. The T3 also can be fine tuned to more effectively track and measure your workouts by entering your height, weight, max heart rate, and fitness level. Again I am very impressed with the T3 Multisport combo pack and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good HRM that can track speed and distance, and record your workout data. You will be very happy with its functionality and performance.

Suunto T3 and GPS POD Multisport Combo Pack,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Suunto T3 and GPS POD Multisport Combo Pack (Sports)
Bought this package to track my excercise, GPS works well, but does not concur with my Magellan GPS, over a 10 mile walk they end up being about 800 yards apart, in distance covered, but it gives you an idea.
The heart-belt, runs through battery fast, and the watch keeps loosing connection to it, and therefor you get a wrong measurement of calories burnt Watch it self is nice, it will take some time to learn all the functions and there are many of them. manual could have contained some ideas as how to interpret the values the watch tells your to maximise what your trying to do (loose weight, stamina etc...)
