Wilderness sports have grown exponentially in popularity in recent years. Many athletes love the thrill of enjoying kayaking, running, hiking, or other endurance sports far away from the city. The X6HR is designed for this type of athlete. It is able to help you make informed decisions in the wilderness, while also providing the information that you need in order to get the most out of your training program.

When training in the wilderness, you need an easy way to predict possible changes in the weather, and you need to know that you can always find your way back. The X6HR is able to do both of these things. It measures the temperature and barometric pressure, along with your elevation and rate of ascent or descent. The compass is electronic rather than bubble-based, and can report your heading. When weather changes are likely to occur, the X6HR will alert you with an alarm. The alarm is set to go off after three hours of dropping barometric pressure, which is likely to indicate an incoming rainstorm. The altimeter is extremely useful to hikers, as it not only displays real time data, but also saves a logbook which can display your cumulative ascents and descents.

The X6HR includes a comfortable chest strap which must be worn in order to monitor your heart rate during exercise. It is highly water resistant and will continue to function properly in rain, although it can not be used for swimming or diving. When in heart rate mode, the X6HR allows you to define a maximum heart rate, and will alert you if that maximum is reached.

With all of these features, however, it is important to note that the X6HR is not a personal trainer. It is geared for athletes who participate in endurance sports, rather than for weight loss or people who are just getting into the world of physical fitness. For beginners who need their workouts to be scheduled for them, do not know how to calculate their maximum heart rate, or will be working out for shorter periods of time, a personal training unit such as the Suunto T4C or T6C would be recommendable as an alternative.
