Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Suunto X6HR wrist-top computer/timepiece provides you with tools for analyzing and improving your performance in your favorite endurance sport. It combines a heart rate monitor (with a transmitter belt) and an altimeter that comes with the included Suunto transmitter belt. The Suunto X6HR records and stores data for later analysis, and you can view, compare, and analyze your performance with a specially designed PC software. It also features a barometer, digital compass, chronometer, and clinometer (for measuring slope angle). This wrist-top computer also comes in another version--the stainless steel X6HRM.
The chronometer records altitude and heart rate profiles at 2-, 10-, or 60-second intervals and has virtually an unlimited capacity for split/lap times. It also offers an interval timer for circuit training and repetitions.
A combined altimeter and heart rate monitor is a practical tool for all outdoor and endurance sports activities, helping you find the ideal training level or the most suitable hiking pace and understand the impact of altitude and topographic factors on heart rate.

You can transfer and store the logs you have recorded with your Suunto X6HR to your PC. The logs can be either Hiking logs stored in the Suunto X6HR logbook files, weather logs stored in the weather memory, or Chrono logs stored in the chrono memory. When the data has been transferred, you can organize, view and add related information to it, and create charts with the Suunto Activity Manager software.
The Suunto X6HR comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible hiking. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, help maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. The compass also guides you back when running in an unknown place or just strolling around in a foreign city.
The Suunto X6HR is water resistant, tested to 100 meters/330 feet according to ISO 2281 standard, which means you can use it for swimming or other water sports activities--but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.
The Logbook feature allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). The Suunto X6HR can store 20 logbook files at one time. More
The Suunto Activity Manager (SAM) is software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto X6HR. With SAM you can visualize the altitude and heart rate profiles for your routes, analyze and plan your training, and keep a training diary. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.
Suunto Sports Community The SuuntoSports.com Internet site enables you to share information with other cross-sport enthusiasts from around the world. You can share statistics, learn new things, exchange ideas, and pick up useful tips from people equally passionate about sport. You can also upload your data from Suunto Trek Manager to SuuntoSports.com in order to compare your performance with others, relate tales of your wildest adventures or simply share your hiking and training experiences, travel reports and digital photos with friends or the entire

STAY AWAY -- Great product but SERVICE is a NIGHTMARE,
By
This review is from: Suunto X6HR Heart Rate Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass (Apparel)
I bought one 8 weeks ago and Suunto USA Service has had it longer than I have! Watch is terrific and does all that is advertised and does it quite well. The interface is VERY nice -- quite intuitive and easy to learn and use. I previously had a Polar and hated the interface. BUT - connecting teh SUUNTO to a PC is problematic. Mine failed after about a week. It took me four hours on the phone with tech support to convince them there was a problem with their product and that I was not just some computer illiterate. Then it took them 3 or 4 days to provide an RMA so that I could return it. Then four weeks and several emails to look at it and determine that the data cable was bad. They tested the watch and NOT the cable and were ready to return things to me -- again assuming the problem was me, not them. Even though they asked that the return include the data cable, they weren't planning to test it -- they would rather assume that it was user error!! Then it has taken them a full week to ship it!! So -- the total turn-around time was NOT the 2 weeks they promised me, but closer to SIX WEEKS to replace a defective cable. I think this is very low service for a premium priced product. Polar is about to come out with a competing line of products -- the AXN 300, 500 and 700. Writeups look very good and they appear to be a better price. If the interface is good, these could be the ones to buy!!

Great watch but,,,,,
By
This review is from: Suunto X6HR Heart Rate Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass (Apparel)
The Suunto watch is a great piece of gear. It was not a mistake that Outdoor magazine rated it a best watch of the year 2003. The compass is ulike any other one in a watch it is real time and as you move the watch the compass corrects itself. Pls the addition of the pc connectivity makes it a must have if you are serious about keeping track of any workout. The only issue which Suunto is working hard to correct is a glitch in the software that makes the watch blanks out. This is apparently a flau in some watches and the repair is done by suunto free of charge and the warranty is extended by an extra year. Lastly if you are concerned about the screen t is mineral crystal so it is hard and will take the punishment.

Good but buggy,
By
This review is from: Suunto X6HR Heart Rate Wrist-Top Computer Watch with Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass (Apparel)
Beautiful looking watch, light weight, menu functions are easy to navigate. HR chest strap worked well (better than my other HR watches from Timex and Sports Instruments)
Software is very buggy and crashes frequently (but no information lost so thats ok). One big problem - the watch claims to measure both altitude (Hiking Mode) and air pressure (Weather Mode), but can't do both at once. The watch determines your current altitude by using surrounding air pressure - if you sit in one place for hours and the air pressure changes around you the watch thinks you've changed altitude! My watch sat on my desk for two days and when I checked the altitude log, it showed several meters of altitude change - when all that happened was a storm hand moved into the region! Big Warning - make sure when you buy a 2004 model you're getting the current model. The Suunto website has a 2004 manual for the X6HR that claims there is an Air Pressure Calibration function on the watch (General
