Hello Nickolai,
the main reason for the change from Polar to
Suunto was the poor quality of the components. Now after the change I do miss all those great functions, the Polar indeed had. I am not too unhappy with the
Suunto, does have some benefits too. Overall the Polar give you way more informations and analyze then the T6C. The Software on the Polar is also more convenient to use.
The Garmin 705 does not read the heartrate monitor of the
Suunto (and vice versa). There is an ANT and an ANT+ technology, which are not compatible! So watch out.
The Garmin Edge 705 is just great for the bike and you do not need 2 seperate sensors to get speed and cadence. All combined in one unit (looks much better). I don't want to ride without my Edhe 705 anymore.
Well the
Suunto thing, I guess everyone has to decide what they want and what they need. If you train intervals, want an easy data analyse on the PC, higher storage capacity on the watch for your workouts, then stick to the top end Polar products.
If you are looking for accurate HR readings, finding paired
pods (HR,
Foot Pod, etc) and a unique look, then go to
Suunto.
I hope the day will come (when I am still sportive active), that all these companies can unfify their methods and equipment is exchangeable. Yeah, maybe a dream for a long time!!!
