On the one hand a (nearly) perfect watch, the
X6HR, on the other hand a poor software, the SAM. There must be ways to get a better solution!
Here is my request to science sportsware denmark, another candidate for a powerful alternative to SAM from
Suunto:
Dear Science Sportsware team!
I suppose you are familiar with
SUUNTO, another finnish manufacture of heartrate-monitors. I own the
X6HR, which collects HR-data (2 seconds, 10 seconds or 60 seconds intervall), altitude, barometric pressure and temperature values. This can be downloaded to the PC via a serial connection. Unfortunately the software supplied by
SUUNTO (Suuto Activity Manager SAM 2.2) is very poor in functionality and not user-friendly at all. Although heavily requested by its customers there has been no real improvement over one year. Therefore I am looking now for new ways to use the as a HRM excellent
X6HR for serious marathon and cycling
training. Your software looks very impressive, it would be great if there would be a way to use the
SUUNTO X6HR with it. Is there a way to do this; if not, could you create a "plugin" as you did for other heart rate monitors. There are a lot of
SUUNTO-customers out here who would love to have a decent software for their
X6HR (and pay for that) I will post my request to you on the
suunto-sports-website (cross-sport discussions SAM) to create more requests from other customers. thanks for your answer in advance Markus Lobendanz

Please request the same as I did fom science sportsware via
www.science-sportsware.dk and maybe if we are enough interested in a
X6HR-"plugin" (they already have one for polar, acumen and cardiosports-files) than this might be a solution.
Another way might be to contact
www.pccoach.com
They also have plugins for other HRM (like POLAR) for their software.
Come and join for a better software.
greetings
