Product Description
Designed for athletes on foot, bike, or skate, this multisport system from Suunto provides comprehensive heart rate monitoring while tracking speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, inline skating, and kayaking. Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes of all types and skill level, this advanced-function combo pack includes the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer and GPS POD. The GPS POD employs the Global Positioning System to track speed and distance. It adds a new dimension to all POD-compatible Suunto heart rate monitors (Suunto T3, Suunto T4, and Suunto T6). More than a heart rate monitor, the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer helps you train with confidence by providing real-time information on the aerobic benefit of each workout. Are you over or under-training? Sweating hard enough to reach your goals? The Suunto T3 knows and tells with real-time Training Effect. More powerful than traditional zone training systems, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goal, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health, or shaving minutes off a marathon. By working from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto T3 analyzes your heartbeats and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. As a personal training guide, Training Effect is relative to each user. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0. In addition to Training Effect, the Suunto T3 displays heart rate, calories burned, and zone training. It also shows speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs. The onboard logbook has a 15-workout memory. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch with split/lap.

 Used or Brand New October 11, 2008
I purchased a used T3 (from a retail store) with a dead battery, scratches on the face and no manuals. After replacing the battery, I downloaded the manuals from the American Suunto website (www.SuuntoWatches.com) and found it was easier to understand by looking at the pictures in the user manual while reading the quick start guide. The features are advanced enough to track multi-disciplined or complex training sessions.
The HR monitor will not work very well without inputting your personal stats: height, weight, DOB, gender. I kept the activity level at 5, which is the default setting. "PolyWatch" creme removed all of the scratches. Then I put a Zagg (www.zagg.com) protective film over the face to prevent future scratches.
My T3 looks better than brand new. It was worth taking the time to learn how to use it.
 I don't recommend this HR Monitor August 3, 2008
I do not recommend this product. I have used several Polar Brand HR Monitors over the years and found them to be extremely beneficial for my training efforts. This product has been a problem from the start. I finally figured out that the battery in the chest strap was bad and replaced it. It is till showing clearly bad numbers for the Heart Rate. The watch is difficult to set up and the numbers are hard to read. Sadly I discarded the original packaging so I can't return it to Amazon and am forced to deal with Suunto's warranty program.
Terrible User Guide July 20, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I returned the watch within 24 hours because I could not understand the user manual and coordinate set-up or on going functions . Also, tried calling customer support and was informed that they were experiencing long wait periods. Waited over 20 minutes, hung up and decided the watch was not for me.
 Great watch! July 12, 2008
This watch was for my husband's birthday. He has had a Polar monitor for a while, but this has more features. I didn't get the foot pod at the time, but will soon. He likes the sleek look and that the time is very easy to see while running. I disagree with the other reviews about it being "cheap plastic"--most watches of this type are plastic or a synthetic rubber. The band size was easy to adjust, and all in all he loves it!!
It's like a personal trainer...kind of July 4, 2008
I have used this watch for over 30 days and have done about 20 workouts with it. I bought the Suunto T3 to help me train for Go Vertical! in Chicago. The watch's heart rate monitor is excellent, as is the training effect feature which analyzes how hard/long you work out and shows you on a scale of 1 to 5 how challenging the workout is. It was a bit uncomfortable for me at first but now I have gotten used to it and it suits me well. My biggest complaint is that the face of the watch has scratches already. Albeit, I may be a little rugged on the watch I would wish a watch of this caliber had a face which is more resistant to scratches, so buy some protectant or shield for your watch!
Overall, I highly recommend the watch. It is a very good tool to help you look at your prior workouts, analyze them and adapt future workouts to maximize goals. Great if you are training for an event and also good if you are trying to get in shape!
