T3 vs T6

Kiwi,

I have a T6 and a friend of mine has a T4. Both are nice watches. The big difference is the software. T6 uses Training Manager, while T3/T4 uses Training Manager-Lite. From what I can see, Training Manger Lite only uses the summary records the watch creates. There might be a way to look at the detailed records, but I can find them.

My T6 captures data at two recording options. Either at 10 second intervals or 2 second intervals. All records are then downloaded to my PC via Training Manager. Here I can look at an a training session in detail and copy training records for further analysis into Excel. I did a Lactate threshold test recently at a local hospital, and I had my Suunto watch on to see how close the results where to my test. Everyone was pretty amazed at how close the results were.

If your looking for accurate results, make sure you set your personal vital capacity parameter correctly.
