Suunto have posted an update to version 1.0 of this software on www.suuntosports.com and www.suunto.com.

Version 1.0 noticeably did not contain functionality to export logs loaded from the X6, to say, an Excel spreadsheet. Neither does version 1.1. (In fact there are no obvious changes to functionality) The good news is that the database which stores the log data: "x6.mdb" - located in the \program files\suunto activity manager\ directory - has had the user-level password protection that was placed on version 1.0 removed. If you have a copy of Microsoft Access 2000 or later, you can now open this file and extract data direct from Access into any other program. BTW: The database is password protected, so you may need to enter the password "koira" (no quotes) to gain access.

Those with a technical background may also be interested to know that suunto have written custom dynamic link libraries to program the x6 line of watches. These libraries give programatic access to the watches functions. Some options - such as setting the brightness of the display, or setting the watch time programatically - exist in this code but haven't been implemented in the activity manager software.

Obvious advice: Don't muck around with the database structure or the code, unless you really know what you're doing!
