Suunto T3 Heart Rate Monitor

I bought this as a suggestion of one of my biking buddies. He has the T4 but I opted for the T3. I also ordered the PC Pod and Bike Pod.

Quality
The first bike pod did not work, the second one did. The replacment process was great on that one. The T3 is pretty nice but within 30 days it has a dead spot in the display running from top to bottom so that 0's look like ( ). For this I have to return it to the manufactur rather than amazon. My buddy has problems with his pc pod working so I'm not too wild about the quality so far.

Funcionality
It works very well and has not ever lost signal. It has 99% of the features I want but it is very complicated and frustrating to learn. I'm a visual learner and have a tough time trying to follow the button sequence to get where I need to be. The screen is small so the graph indicators around the edge are worthless to me. I leave it on the heart rate or TE most times and download for study later.

Works great!

I had no problems setting this up for use on my new bike. Wireless works great. Only issue was getting transmitter to stay stable (fixed by using part of a tire innertube cut to fit the front fork).

Sofisticaded does not have to mean complicate!

After I miss a couple of polar watches, I decide to give a chance to this brand. As I could read includes a lot more features than a Polar watch of the same price level. Still it is far from being "wear and play".

Its interface is not intuitive at all, and after three or four visits to the manual (Now I understand what the user's manual are for), I still get stuck in the middle when I push the "wrong" button.

Maybe is a matter of being familiar with, but in the meanwhile I found it very complicate to use without having the manual at hand (something complicate when you're in the middle of your spinning class).

On the pros, is watch that you can use as your day to day activities, its looks is a lot better that a polar.

Suunto T3 & Mountain Bike POD

I really like the heart rate monitor on this T3. The heart rate keeps me informed just how hard or easy I am riding my bike. The Training Effect function is also a very useful feature. The T3 is a little complicated at first, but with constant use it becomes easier to use. I like the bike POD also as I can enter all the data off the T3 as I sit in front of my computer.

Engineered by Mavic, the Suunto Bike POD turns your Suunto T3 into a wireless bike computer with current and average speeds, distance and interval alarms. Universal fork and spoke attachments fit any bike, positioning the POD out of harm's way from rocks, stones, and trunks. Like the Suunto Road Bike POD, the Suunto Bike POD features a user-replaceable battery and comes with a Suunto heart rate monitor handlebar mount.

Training with TE targets
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.
