4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent HRM and stop watch - pc link is ok but should be updated to USB, March 8, 2006

By	J. Pemberton "JRP" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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)

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sports watch, so so companion software, July 12, 2006

By	mj405 "mj405" (Germany) - See all my reviews

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

2.0 out of 5 stars Excellent watch, terrible PC interface, February 3, 2005

By	J. Pemberton "JRP" (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
