Suunto t6c Training Heart-Rate Monitor Watch
The Suunto t6c Heart-Rate Monitor Watch comes in red/black or black and in addition to its comprehensive physiological analysis on PC and Altimeter, the new version offers real-time training effect and EPOC to gauge athletes' personal aerobic improvement from each workout.
The Suunto t6c is also supplied with the new Suunto Comfort Belt (hence the 'c' in t6c) and is compatible with the new cadence POD and also has a customisable screen layout for individual information needs.
The Suunto Comfort Belt offers more body-friendly materials next to the skin and can also simply be thrown into the washing machine.
The new Suunto t6c Heart-Rate Monitor Watch offers users more information and the ability to customise their display and choose which data is most appropriate for their current training programme.
Suunto’s wristop computers provide three types of accurate and easy-to-understand information: in real time for use during exercise activities, for post-performance analysis, and for comparing performance and experience online.
The more relevant and precise performance information people can be provided with, the easier it is for them to work on improving their skills. Going the extra mile in training to lose a second in competition could mean the difference between success and failure for a professional athlete or a competitive amateur.
Suunto introduced the Suunto t6 Heart-Rate Monitor Watch in 2004, to enable competitive amateurs and professional athletes maximise the training effect of their workouts by recording a set of key body performance parameters as they exercise. Seven different parameters are monitored and can be analysed subsequently on a PC. The Suunto t6 was the first heart rate monitor to measure these parameters outside a sports laboratory.
Suunto have introduced a more advanced version – the new Suunto t6c – from spring 2008, capable of displaying many measurement results directly on the wrist display. Training Effect, or the aerobic benefit of a workout or training session, is an even more accurate and comprehensive measurement of exertion than heart rate. A person’s EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) and calories burned can also now be displayed directly.
Suunto’s wireless sports network adds a new dimension to its heart-rate monitors, as it allows users to reconfigure their units as their needs evolve. Data transfer between a wristop unit, a heart rate belt, Suunto PODs (Peripheral Observation Devices), and PC software is managed via state-of-the-art ANT radio technology. Suunto’s digital 2.4 GHz radio link, with 65,000 unique ID codes, guarantees interference-free transmission and zero problems with other heart-rate monitors in a gym environment.
