Amazon.com Product Description

Sleekly designed, the powerful Suunto S6 wrist-top computer/timepiece is an essential tool for skiers and snowboarders as well as back-country hikers and mountain bikers. It features a built-in altimeter, barometer, compass, and ski chronograph, which provides data such as degree of slope, maximum speed achieved, and average speed and vertical drop for individual runs. You can also synch the Suunto S6 up to your Windows PC to view and analyze performance data.

The Suunto S6 has been especially designed with downhill skiers and snowboarders in mind. Measuring and analyzing the surrounding environment minimizes the risk involved in moving around the mountains. In addition to having information available to you at all times on the slopes, the Suunto S6 records and stores data for later analysis. You can view, compare, and analyze your riding performance through a specially designed PC interface, and use that to improve future rides.

The combination of altimeter and clinometer enables you to measure your speed. The skichrono gives you information on the total number of runs, their altitude profile, real-time accumulated descent values, as well as the maximum and average speed of runs.

When moving around the mountains, safety comes first--and the Suunto S6 comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible riding. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, warn of overly rapid ascent, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. And you can assess avalanche danger with the clinometer, if needed. The barometer features a weather trend graph, 48-hour memory, and a weather alarm.

The Suunto S6 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 Suunto Ski Manager (SKIM) is software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto S6. With SKIM you can visualize the altitude profiles for your skiing and snowboarding trips and for the recorded individual runs; you can analyze also and plan your sports activities and keep a training diary. 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

What's in the Box This package contains the Suunto S6 (black) wrist-top computer/timepiece, Datasnake PC interface cable, CD-ROM containing Suunto Ski Manager software and instruction manual, and printed Quick Guide.

Great functionality, cheap design.......2007-08-14

Ok, I'm an idiot. I love the functionality of this watch and the software, but I own two of them and they are both broken. You will find that if you use this watch only in a gym then you will likely love it for a very long time. However, if you really like to get outside and do things like mtn bike, trail runs, etc this watch will not likely hold up for too long. In both cases the plastic crystal cracked, allowing water to enter the watch. I have since moved on to a T6, which is a fantastic watch, the software has more depth and complexity to it -- including the ability to profile the entire work out (including altitude change -- really cool!), rather than just displaying the results of the work out. Bottom line, buy a Suunto T6 the extra money is well spent, or wait till Suunto recalls the T1-4 design and fixes the plastic crystal.

Very reliable.......2007-08-07

I have been using the T3 for a year together with a heart rate belt, bike pod and foot pod. All devices have worked flawlessly and quite accurately. I just wish Suunto came out with a T3 that looks as good as their newer lineup called "core". Unfortunately, the core does not yet seem to have the HR functions of the T3. As for reliability of Suunto products, they work extremely well. Apart from the T3, I also have Suunto's Observer ski watch and their Cobra dive computer. I have had those for several years and have used them extensively. They have worked flawlessly and I have been quite happy with them.

I do admit, the T3 is somewhat sophisticated and requires a bit of patience to set it up initially and navigate through the surprisingly well laid out menus. But once you put in your vitals - height, weight, and preferences, it becomes indispensable especially in a fitness center where it keeps track of heart rate statistics (& weekly log if the stopwatch is turned on during the workout). It also folds in bike workout intensity if you have the optional bike pod hooked up to your bicycle. Here, I can look up the speed, distance, etc right on my wrist (or mount it on the handlebar if you have a buckle type strap - not the polished black strap like mine).

So, if you are looking for a watch you can use for your workouts, I would highly recommend the T3. However, don't expect its looks to match its excellent performance. I hope Suunto does not stop making excellent products as the T3 lineup. Or better yet, come out with a newer model with the following improvements:
- Option for metal casing (titanium) with hardened crown
- More feedback during pod pairing - especially the bike pod
- Better instructions for calibrating the bike pod.
- Display the HR info below the time (small font line) in the main display for more discreteness
- Add more detail in the user manual (or split up the manual into two parts: quick start and advanced).
- Add more product description (especially for accessory info) in the company web site (I wish I had known about straps needing to be cut for adjustments and incompatibility of clasp style straps with bike handlebar mounts)
- Combine HR functions with a ski watch (i.e. T6, S6 hybrid in titanium casing with a wrist strap adjustible enough to wear over clothing).
- Retain water proofing to 330 ft (not 100 ft!). BTW, I have used the Observer at 140 ft as an alternate time piece - a sports watch needs to be versatile!

Excellent Functionality, Lackluster Construction.......2007-06-08

This watch as excellent functionality. I really like the training effect metric rather than just knowing if my heart rate is in or out of the zone.

Watch face should be upgraded to diminish scratching. I haven't had any problems with the band. It would, however, be nice if sizing did not require cutting off segments which is irreversible.

Suunto t3 bike pod.......2007-05-09

I tried several times to connect the bike pod with the wrist watch but was impossible. The instructions are vary basic and do not give any alternatives in case of failure or malfunctions. In conclusion I'm using the watch only for running, so it was a waste of money the extra cost of the bike pod.

Additionally, is very complicated to review the finished exercises. Despite the fact of the size, is better to spend a little more money in a certified heart rate monitor like Polar which is hundred of times more friendly for use.

a perfect watch for the amateur athlete .......2007-04-19

I used to be an athlete about a lifetime ago(10 years ago), even though I did not have a device like the t3, I guess I didn't need it back then. But a few months ago I suffered a very bad back injury and I had a choice: either have a surgery or improve my physical fitness. I chose the latter ofcourse, so I needed something I could use to monitor my progress and help me maintain a goal: train and improve but not overtrain and injure. I did't know a lot about HR monitors and I bought the t3 because that was available to me. I didn't need altometer or barometer but I wanted a podometer so I bought the t3 along with the HR belt, the footpod and the pcpod. All in all it cost me 360 euros(around 450 $) not actually cheap.
I usually don't need instructions do get a device going but I had to study the manual for a week to understand how it works. The HR belt connects immediately as does the footpod but you have to calibrate it in order to have accurate readings of distance and speed and that could take a while. Also if your watch has been on display in the shop for a while it might need a fresh battery as the battery life is about a year. So if you decide to buy one, ask for a new battery(as I did).
Once you have the watch calibrated and have gotten used to using it, everything is a breeze. The display is good(although it tends to scratch) the light is very helpful and the switch between the modes is easy.
One thing I enjoyed also was the pcpod. When connected to the pc, you have all of your data on display, making it easy to compare and decide on your future training sessions.
I bought this watch for one reason only: I am not a marathon runner and do not aspire to be. I bought this watch to help me and protect me to improve my physical fitness level without hurting myself. The outcome was that I am pain free for 10 days now (using the watch and training for about a month). I regard this as a personal best and I haven't regretted about buying it(even though I could have used the money for physiotherapy, right?)
All in all it is a perfect watch for the amateur athlete

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. The device comes with a transmitter belt that wraps securely around your chest, where it reads your real-time average heart rate, analyzes the information, and sends it to the wrist-top computer. Once the information is captured, you can compare your average heart rate with your instant heart rate, speed up or slow down to match the target pace, or set the interval timer to meet specific heart rate goals. It can also help gauge the impact of altitude and topographic factors on your training by matching your heart rate with the altimeter readings. Want to design the perfect training regimen for mountainous hikes? Look no further than the X6HR.

Plus, the X6HR doesn't stop when the workout is over. It also stores data on training duration; average, minimum, and maximum heart rates; cumulative ascent and descent; and the highest and lowest altitudes in the training session. The chronometer, meanwhile, records altitude and heart rate profiles in two-, 10-, and 60-second intervals and boasts a virtually unlimited capacity for split/lap times. As a result, it's easy to make a complete post-performance assessment. The assessment is even more useful when uploaded to Suunto's Activity Manager (SAM) PC software, which sets up a training diary and analyzes your altitude and heart-rate profiles for each route. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.

Download heart rate and other workout data with the included USB clip cable.
Safety is also a huge wilderness concern, which is where the barometer and compass come into play. The barometer lets you gauge the weather conditions during long hikes and camping trips, so you aren't caught unaware by a surprise snow or rainstorm. It performs its task by gauging such variables as the sea-level pressure, absolute pressure, and temperature while also compiling a weather trend graph. When a storm is approaching, the X6HR lets you know by sounding an audible alarm (the device also includes an altitude alarm and an alarm that sounds when you ascend too rapidly).

The compass contributes through its bearing and declination settings (via a graphic compass rose) that keep you from losing your way in unfamiliar territory. Add in a clinometer--which measures the slope angle of a path in degrees or percentage--and an optimized display that delivers superior readability and you have an unbeatable tool for outdoor exploration and training.

And when you're done with your training, you can visit SuuntoSports.com, a vibrant Internet community that lets you share information with other cross-sports enthusiasts from around the world. The site is the perfect place to share statistics, learn new ideas, and pick up useful tips from people who are equally passionate about the sport. You can also upload your data from Suunto Activity 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.

Additional features include a built-in stopwatch/interval timer and calendar, water-resistance to 330 feet, a PC interface, and user-replaceable batteries for both the monitor and the transmitter belt. The monitor, which weighs 0.19 pounds and comes in a black stainless-steel housing, is backed by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

breaks ribbon cartridge........2007-06-10

I have not used this printer very much since I have another printer.( I've had it about 6 mo.). Halfway through the pack of 100 paper the ribbon cartridge broke. You can't buy just a ribbon cartridge, you have to buy a complete package of paper and ribbon. The ribbon only prints the number of photo paper you purchase. So now I have all this extra paper and no way to use it. Of course now that this has happened the printer must have ribbon jammed in it, because it won't work. If I hadn't purchased 3 more packs of extra paper and ribbon,(costly) I'd throw this printer in the trash! Of course I can't find my reciept so Olympus wants $80.00 just to look at it.

Fast and easy.......2007-05-12

I have tried several different photo printers and have found the Olympus P-11 to be the best. It has a small foorprint, is very easy to use, prints a very good quality, water-resistant 4X6 color photo in just a few seconds and is very durable.

Good product with bad software.......2007-01-04

I purchased this printer for mainly 4x6 prints & my Canon printer for larger prints. The picture quality is often different from my PC monior screen and I have to adjust the graphic setting for different pictures. In other words, I have to waste several test prints before I finally get a picture close to the monitor. Also when I print, I need to individually import/transfer picture files into the Olympus software from My Pictures folder of Window XP. It cannot just click the picture and send it to the printer. What a pain! This product is OK if you print pictures directly from a camra and your expectation of photo quality is low. Once the color condition is met, the print itself is fantastic with waterproof paper.

VERY PLEASED WITH PRINTER.......2006-07-10

Very happy with this printer. I am, always, concerned with quality performance. But, also with price. I wanted a photo printer that I could print right here at my computer and not have to go to some store to print out. So, the price of paper and printing film was a concern, too, but not to important for the low quantity I print. This printer was less than half price to purchase from Amazon.com, and the paper and film less than half price, too. So, I feel I am getting what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. Can't beat that! Plus, the most important part, the prints are absolutely beautiful, every time. I recommend this printer and Amazon.com price and service.

printers for dummies.......2006-06-27

This is the printer that I have been waiting for. It does exactly what I hoped for. The color is rich. The pics look as good or better than a processing house would do...and much quicker. Very simple to use, even I couldn't screw it up. Highly recommend.
