Suunto T3C Heart Rate Monitor

Suunto T3C

Suunto T3C

If you are an athlete who has been working out for a while, you may be considering what the best way might be to bring your body's performance to the next level. If you do not own a heart rate monitor, or do not have one with integrated personal training features, and if you frequently engage in extended workouts of over one hour in length, the Suunto T3C might be the ideal choice. It packs many of the personal training features found in high-end devices into a sports watch with an entry level price, with an extra level of comfort.

The Suunto T3 and T3C are functionally the same device, with the sole difference being the fact that the heart monitoring chest strap included with the T3C is engineered for an extra level of comfort. Made from fabric with traction strips, the Comfort Chest Strap is able to stay in place without a high level of tightening, making it ideal for athletes who regularly engage in extended-length workouts.

After giving the T3C some basic data about yourself, it calculates your target heart rates spread across three zones: zone one, for weight loss and basic overall fitness level, ranging up to zone three, for increasing the body's capability and endurance. As you exercise, your workout will be ranked on a simple numerical scale showing its overall impact on the body. The higher number, the greater the impact. However, workouts with a higher Training Effect (TE) must be balanced by workouts with lower TE values, allowing the body a proper opportunity to recover for the greatest possible gains.

Both the T3C and the included Comfort Chest Strap are engineered to be water resistant to depths of several meters. However, they can not be used to monitor your heart rate while swimming. In order to make an electrical connection with the body, the chest strap must be slightly damp, or coated with a thin layer of gel. Under water, this connection is broken and data is lost. However, the T3C remains an excellent choice for all other aerobic activities. To collect extra data from your workouts, add a GPS sensor to track your speeds and distances, a cadence sensor for your bicycle, or a USB dongle to easily transfer data to your PC. The T3C is compatible with all Suunto external devices from the POD product line, and all of these devices use the ANT technology to transfer data, ensuring that other nearby devices will not cause interference.

Suunto T3C Summary:

  • Heart rate monitor and personal trainer in a sports watch
  • Monitors heart rate across three target zones, showing each workout's overall impact on the body's fitness level
  • Includes a more comfortable chest strap than the T3, with non-slip fabric design
  • Compatible with all external Suunto POD devices, including GPS, Cadence, and Foot sensors, and USB data transfer device
