Suunto T1C Heart Rate Monitor

Suunto T1C

Suunto T1C

With its T1 heart rate monitor, Suunto designed the perfect entry level fitness watch for anyone who needs an inexpensive and reliable heart rate monitor for their workouts. However, some people have tried heart monitors that use chest straps, and have found them uncomfortable. If you are one of those people, the T1C might be the choice for you. The Suunto T1C includes the comfort version of Suunto's heart rate monitor belt, where the basic T1 includes the standard belt. The comfort belt is made from fabric, and uses traction strips to stay in place without needing to be over-tightened. Additionally, it can be purchased in bright orange, a color not available in the T1. Functionally, the two watches are identical.

After inputting some basic details about yourself such as age, gender, and weight, the T1C will calculate your target heart rare for three different zones. After doing this, setting your target zone is as simple as the push of a button. The first zone is intended for general physical fitness and weight loss, while the strain increases as you move up. The third zone is for maximum endurance training, as it increases your limits for aerobic and anaerobic exercise. If you are above or under the target heart rate for your zone, the T1C will alert you. To keep your motivation levels high, the T1C is also able to utilize your heart rate to determine the number of calories that you are burning. This data is retained in the watch for up to two months. and can also be sent to your computer to be saved even longer.

When you are not using the T1C for training, it doubles as a sports watch. The watch features an alarm, a backlight, date, and 12 or 24 hour formats. It is also water resistant up to 30 meters. The heart rate monitor is water resistant as well, but it is not possible to swim with it. A little water or gel is needed in order to make an electrical connection with the body and read its heart rate. When the heart rate monitor is immersed in water, that connection is broken. For any other type of aerobic exercise, however, and especially for athletes who spend more than an hour at a time working out, the T1C is an ideal choice for a first heart rate monitor.
