Suunto t6c

Suunto t6c Red Arrow:Suunto celebrates serving as the official timing and data partner of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) with the limited edition Suunto t6c Red Arrow. The Red Arrow combines the same leading edge technology you expect in the Suunto t6c with an urban design at home in the gym and the city. Plus, you get a 2 month training program from 2Peak, a high-tech training program that calculates your future training sessions based on your performance. The t6c Red Arrow is constantly referred to in tests and testimonials as the best Heart Rate Monitor watch available.

The Suunto t6c is one of the most exciting personal training devices to ever hit the health and fitness market. The "t" stands for "training". By measuring heart rate, caloric burn, and how intensely you're working out, the t6c assesses your current fitness, sets a proper training load, measures your actual fitness gain over time, and helps you achieve your overall fitness goals.

Turn your Suunto t6c into a GPS Watch with a Suunto GPS POD. The GPS POD tracks speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking and cycling.

Standout Features:

• ANT comfort heart rate monitor belt features soft fabric for comfort and traction strips for a snug fit. The belt also provides interference free HR monitoring.
• Training Effect to monitor your aerobic conditioning level.
• 30 logs of memory. Save all of your logs, or just selected ones.
• Includes a USB cable and software to transfer workout data to your PC.
• Measures real time calories burned.
• Tracks speed and distance when paired with Suunto POD (Peripheral Observation Device).
• Altimeter measures altitude.

What Does the t6c do?

Training Effect: Any physical trainer will tell you that in order to maximize the impact of your workouts you need to train hard enough to make a difference, but not so hard that you injure yourself. Without a personal trainer to advise you, an optimal training range is exceedingly difficult to figure out because your target training zone will change as your fitness level improves. Suunto's exclusive Training Effect feature tells you whether you're training too little, too hard or staying within the zones for optimal performance. Training Effect uses a simple one - to - five scale to display how intense your workout is based on your current fitness level. And with alarms, you'll know as soon as you hit your limit.

Interference Free Heart Rate Monitoring: The ANT heart rate belt provides interference free HR monitoring anywhere and everywhere, remedying problems associated with previous HR monitors that were affected by power lines outside or electronic equipment inside the gym, making the t6c a valuable investment for those who love to train outdoors as well as in.

Activity Class: The Activity Class rates your current activity levels so that your Suunto watch knows your baseline activity level.

30 Log Memory: Record a personal training log of statistical data that reflects the progression of your aerobic health and performance capacity. And choose whether to save all of your logs or just select ones.

Track Data on Your PC: The Suunto t6c comes complete with a USB cable and Suunto Training Manager Software needed to track fitness progress on your PC. Suunto's easy-to-use PC analysis software combines EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) training data with your personal background info. Calculating seven different physiological parameters, including oxygen consumption, energy consumption, heart rate, and respiratory rate, the program automatically monitors your progress and continues to recommend training loads appropriate to your changing fitness level.

Track Speed and Distance (with a Suunto POD): With a POD for runners, bicyclers and adventurers, your Suunto t6c watch tracks speed and distance during workouts. Want to purchase your t6c with a POD? Choose a t6c training pack, including the Suunto Cycling Pack, Suunto Running Pack, and the GPS enabled Multisport Pack.
