4. Suunto´s ANT technology works a lot better than POLAR´s own-code transmission of signals - only drawback: ANT is totally blocked by water - so not really useful for swimmers or triathlets.

Neither Polar nor Timex work with a spit in the water (at least in a heavily chlorinated swimming pool, this has nothing to do with coding technology).

Some of us spent years learning to not listen to our bodies, and now we're trying to repair that damage. We're not always sure what we're hearing.

The "t" in t6 (if you don't want to get too technical) stands for "training". It actually refers to the time interval between two heartbeats, or EPOC. Measured to the millisecond, this interval allows you (using the included PC software) to assess your current fitness, set a proper training load, measure your actual fitness gain over time, and achieve your overall fitness goals.
