Suunto T1 Heart Rate Monitor
Suunto T1
Fitness buffs have known for years that a heart rate monitor can be the tool that separates those who excel in the gym from those who struggle. If your heart rate is too high, you will tire too quickly, and if it is too low, you can exercise for hours with little to show for it. The best way to work out for the maximum possible time, while burning the most calories, is to stay within your target heart rate zone, and a heart rate monitor enables this.
Going a step further than this, however, the T1 gives you the ability to drill down even deeper into the process of working out by allowing you to set three target heart rate zones based on a few personal details that you enter. Train in Zone 1 to lose weight and improve your overall level of physical fitness, or step it up to the max and train in Zone 3 to improve your maximum aerobic and anaerobic capacity. The T1 lets you decide. If you are below or above your chosen target heart rate threshold, the T1 will alert you. Meanwhile, it will track the number of calories that you are burning, giving you the motivation that you need to keep going.
The T1 is also a fully functional sports watch, with 12 or 24 hour time display, date, alarm, and backlight. It is water resistant to 30 meters, and the heart rate monitor is water resistant to 20 meters. The heart rate monitoring capability of the T1, however, does not function underwater. This unit is not to be used while swimming. However, it is perfect for walking, running, cycling, or any other aerobic exercise.
