Suunto T6C Heart Rate Monitor

Suunto T6C

If you are a competitive athlete or a dedicated fitness buff at the top of his or her game, you need a heart rate monitor with all of the bells and whistles. You need a personal training computer that is able to deliver information on a constant basis about your environment, and the way that your body is performing. You need the Suunto T6C, a fitness watch and heart rate monitor with all of the features found in competing products that cost hundreds of dollars more.

From the moment that you begin working out, the Suunto T6C will start to report on nearly every aspect of your surroundings, to form a display screen that you can customize by choosing from 21 different forms of data. After calibrating the unit, it will begin tracking your altitude, ascent, and vertical speed. This is a valuable tool for many types of competitive situations. Knowing that your elevation is about to change during a race, you can adjust your pace to conserve strength when needed.

The T6C provides information about your athletic performance that is equally as valuable, monitoring the total effect of your training through a system called EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption). When exercise is more strenuous, your EPOC will be higher, and the T6C uses this information to boil all of the information collected during your workout into a single easily understood number. This number, called the Training Effect (TE), measures the total impact of a workout on your body. A higher number indicates a workout with a higher amount of exertion, but these must be balanced out by workouts at lower TE levels in order to have the maximum benefit on your level of fitness.

With all of its features, the T6C has one missing feature that makes it a less than ideal choice for less experienced athletes: it is missing Suunto Coach, a feature found in the Suunto T4 and T4C. Suunto Coach designs a workout program for you, telling you when to exercise, and how strenuous the workout should be, for maximum possible results. The T6C is a recommended buy, however, for very experienced athletes, or people who have access to a personal trainer who can design an individualized workout program.

Suunto T6C Summary:

  • Extremely powerful fitness watch, able to measure up to 21 elements about your workout and environment
  • Uses EPOC to measure a workout's total effect on the body, creating measurements that are more accurate than any other model from the Suunto T series
  • Missing the Suunto Coach feature found in the T4 and T4C; athletes who need help designing a personalized workout program might be better served by one of these models
