summary - Please read this paragraph, this is what makes the T6
stand out from all other HRM:
The Suunto
T6 provides an accurate "training effect " indication for
each and every exercise session you download. Within a few seconds
of downloading an exercise set you can see the precise "training
load" that that particular session has had on your body i.e
under training, maintaining, positive training, improving, highly
improving or over training. It is then clear to the user whether
or not they achieved their objective for that session and also helps
to set the intensity of the next session, i.e. should it be an easy
recovery, or a more strenuous challenging intensity. That's what
makes the T6 so different to the rest of the PC download HRM's,
it's not just a Time versus Heart Rate graph.....
Please
note, important... regarding pricing and
competition. We only ever supply the very latest version of T6 with
the latest internal firmware updates. Currently this means our units
can support 1 x foot pod, 2 x bike pods and 1 x PC pod. If you buy
a unit that has not been "zapped" with the latest firmware
you may have to send it back to Suunto for firmware upgrade....
this is free.... but generally takes up to 2 weeks.
The Suunto T6
is the pinnacle of heart rate monitoring technology. Suunto have
produced one of the most technologically advanced heart rate monitoring
product on the market. It can be used by ALL ABILITY levels
from beginner / general health and fitness enthusiast to serious
professional athlete
The Suunto
Foot POD (optional) offers highly accurate speed, distance and pace
data for the runner. We have tested the T6 Foot POD versus the Garmin
Forerunner 205, both showed identical total distance, 2.08 miles,
both showed identical 1/2M lap marks. Please click here
to view more details on the heart rate / speed distance comparison.
With
the Suunto T6 the user has the ability to download the exercise
and monitor the training effect of that session, under-training,
maintaining effect, improving or over-training. The user can then
utilise the "Training Effect Calclulator" to set
the intensity (HR based) and duration of their next session to prevent
under/over-training. This is the how the T6 stands out from many
other HRM's. It uses a continuous cycle of - exercise - monitor
/ review - adjust intensity / duration (if necessary) and repeat.
Each time you exercise you can monitor whether or not you are achieving
the desired training effect, you can then set the intensity and
duration of your next session using the "Training Effect Calculator"

Product OBSOLETE - replaced by new Suunto T6C here
The Suunto T6
is in a class of it's own as it measures (some predictively) 7
physiological parameters including heart rate (down to beat
to beat analysis), respiratory rate (breaths per minute, predictive),
ventilatory rate (litres of air per minute, predictive), EPOC (Excess
Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption), energy consumption in calories
and even % of maximum training effect. The key to this level of
detail is the Suunto T6's ability to measures the time interval
between two heartbeats in milliseconds. This, in medical terms,
is known as the R-R interval. This Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a recognised measure of training load and something that more and more training professionals are analysing.
SITE
OWNERS COMMENTS © BHIP Ltd 2005 :
Accurate measuring of this interval and variations in it enables the
analysis of the body functions and optimal physical training. The
analysis of this variable is what gives the Suunto T6 the ability
to calculate EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption = Absolute
numeric value ml/kg of O2 that your body needs after training) Until
now EPOC has only been used by scientists. The T6 is not a complicated
product to use, that is why it can be used by anyone who has an interest
in fitness and monitoring / setting training sessions.
Suunto
t6 is the first product outside laboratories to measure EPOC. Measuring
EPOC opens new ways for athletes of every level to enhance their physical
training. It provides an absolute value for the overall training intensity
of a session
This
product does get quite deep, as such, we have listed it's main features
below, and expanded on the technical features via this link, please
click here for technical details for the Suunto
T6 body analysis monitor.
One
of the first things we noticed about the Suunto T6 was it's size,
very compact considering what it does. It is probably about 10 -15%
smaller in volume than the Suunto Advizor / Metron. It fits even the
smallest wrists with it's well designed strap and fittings. It's the
same size as the Suunto X6HR and S6 - ©

fitness gains. It can display 7 main physiological rates
including heart rate, respiratory rate, energy expenditure
and EPOC. It is the EPOC value which is key to the understanding
of how this unit works. More detail can be found via this

countdown
timer - warm up and interval reminder.
The Suunto T6 has a useful system to help ensure a senisble
warm up followed by an unlimited repeat of time based intervals.
An example of this would be: A ten minute countdown to the
start. This could be followed by a 5 minute active warm
up. After the warm up the T6 will alarm the user that the
first interval has started. The user has 2 x interval timers/reminders.
These will autorepeat. These can be used for interval timing
eg. activity 10 mins, rest 2 mins, or similar.
Distance
intervals (when used with the optional foot POD). The
Suunto T6 can also work in distance interval mode. This
can be either an autorepeating distance, for example every
mile, or a distance interval reminder, for example 1 mile
race pace, then 0.5 mile recovery, and repeat.
heart
beat to heart beat sampling. The Suunto T6 will sample
each and every heart beat, not an average across a period
of time. Each beat is measured and put in memory to be used
to help in the calculation of the other 6 physiological
measurements..
comes
with DIGITAL TRANSMISSION (no crosstalk) wireless
chest transmitter with self change batteries. This unit
is interference will not suffer from crosstalk or electrical
interference. It has a range of
10m from chest transmitter to wrist unit. Most
other heart monitors have a range of only 1 - 1.5m

User-replaceable
battery - please note . The Suunto T6 has a shorter battery
life than an analogue heart rate monitor. The life expectancy
in time mode only is 12 months, or 300 hours of heart rate
transmission. Battery kits are available from BHIP Ltd and
we would recommend you ask a jeweller to change it on your
behalf. Warranty can be voided if the unit is damaged by
accidental damage during battery change.

- Cycling Speed / Pace and Distance via wireless (digital
transmission - no interference) front fork sensor and spoke
magnet.
- Running Speed / Pace and Distance via wireless
(digital transmission - no interference) foot pod, similar
in technology to the Nike CV10 and the Polar S625x. The
best way to buy this POD is to include it with the T6 as
a package. Please click here for FOOT
POD technical data
Auto
Lap function. The Suunto T6 will add the split time
per kilometre / mile in to memory for recall later and display
on downloaded graph. You can set the autolap between 0.1
and 20.0 km or M.
Intervals
based on distance. The Suunto T6 allows the user to
interval train either distance based or time based. With
the foot pod the user is able to set 2 x distance intervals.
The intervals can be between 0.1 and 9.9 km/miles each segment..
The interval will repeat continuously until you stop the
unit. An example would be 1km for 1st interval, for effort,
then 0.3km for 2nd interval for recovery, then repeat.
PACE
Alarm. The Suunto T6 with FOOT POD can be used to control
your running pace.The user can set an upper and lower pace
window. The unit will alarm when you run too fast, or too
slow.
Why
buy from us? All
our stock of T6 have now been updated to enable dual
use of both foot and bike pods. Older stock of T6 can
only hold 1 x speed sensor in memory, which means the
user has to "re-pair" to each pod every time
you change from FOOT to BIKE POD. Tristan and Louise,
Directors of BHIP Ltd have extensive experience with
this monitor, we can help you get the very most from
it!
