It is impossible to read the data correctly on the watch. But, when the training mode is off and I don't wear the belt (belt off), the backlight work well.

But regarding the altimeter,where do you get your references from-maps,local information?
Oh by the way,I live in Norway.:P
And in contrary to many other users in here i´m very satisfied with my core-a absolute pleasure to wear!

Just a quick one, I have purchased a Suunto T3c GPS pod and I can't get it to display the speed and distance. It pairs fine and finds the GPS signal (green light blinks every second) but the watch just displays 0.00 at the top and SPD in the middle.

Do you have to start the stop watch to display the spd/distance? Does ther HR strap have to be connected? I'm using it on a perfectly clear day out in the open. I've tried all the buttons but can't get it to work.

Thanks in advance for any help. ]]> Suunto t Series anchorman http://forum.suuntowatches.com/suunto-t-series/3731-t3c-gps-help.html http://forum.suuntowatches.com/suunto-t-series/3729-heart-rate-belt-suunto-t4-stopped-working.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:34:11 GMT Hi, I bought a T4 not even 6 months ago and I have been using it every time I go for run or to workout.

Hi, I bought a T4 not even 6 months ago and I have been using it every time I go for run or to workout. Suddenly it stopped working, I thought it was strange but quickly assumed it was because of the monitors battery going dead (even though I thought it was a little premature for the battery to go dead) So I changed the battery and tried to make sync it, but the watch simply does not find the belts signal. Any suggestions of things I could do before I take it for a repair??

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm very happy with my T3C and PC Pod acquisition. I train a fair amount and since I'm statistic driven, I wanted to monitor my progress for continuous improvement. I am trying to utilise the T3C and the reports/graphs to the best, accurate, and most efficient way possible and I believe you can help.

Firstly, I don't believe I've set the ACT Class correctly. My training regimen is fairly simple. Monday - Friday I do weights training for approximately 1.25hours late in the day after work. I do HIIT, primarily in the form of push sleds and at times sprinting. I do HIIT Monday, Wendesday, Friday for 15 minutes plus 5min on warm up and 5min on cool down. On Tuesdays and Thursdays which are my off HIIT days, I do a steady 40min steady state cardio session on the stationary bike, I usually sit on METS 9.5-11 (average 10.5). So all up, that is approximately 8.7 hours of training. That's approximately 2.5 hours of cardio vascular activity with the remaining time spent on weights training. Based on these figures I have set the ACT Class in the personal settings of my T3C to 8. Now, I do not (refuse due to potential damage) use/wear my T3C during weights training so in essence, the T3C is only gathering 2.5 hours of workout a week and the Training effect always sits between 2 and 3+. Have I set this up incorrectly? Should I set up my ACT Class as 6 (1-3 hours according to the manual - http://media.suunto.com/media/suunto...9830755179.pdf), and if I do, would I still get the effective TE?

Thank you so much in advanced. Loving my T3C and PC Pod so far. I'll be lurking around the forums to help me improve utilise these tools so I can improve myself.

S-lander run out of power last summer and when i got new battery it's start acting weard. It's calibrate it's self every day and now it has been in my cabinet for few months. Any advise how i could make it work agen. Any kind of "patch" or drivers i could update or where i could send it to get fixed for ok prize.

My lil-bros Suunto t6 is from last christmas and it has start acting weard too but i try to get new batterys is it's works. (light doesn't work, text dissapers sometime and it's calibrate if i play some buttons sometimes). If battery doesn't fix the broblem i try to find it's papers and extra stuff and hope my dad bought it so it's varrenty is still ok.

I have a T6 and a T4 and a skewer type bike pod. I can pair the pod with both watches but neither displays any data from the the pod when it's in use.

Does this suggest a duff unit or is this a poorly designed/tested piece of kit?

So, looking at the Suunto catalogue I was left baffled by the quantity of different watches that are, in essence, the same.
I mean why use the same shell and then put in/take out options to create more models? I understand that it's a money thing, and the big producers do that do appeal to different profiles of people, but I never quite understood why someone would buy an Advizor over a Vector or X Lander? An S Lander over an X Lander or the 'Nautical' Suuntos over the Core??? You really can use all of those watches for mountaineering, skiing and sailing aswell!

Do people really think to themselves "oh yeah, this one looks good, has an altimeter and a barometer.. wow, this one is exactly the same regarding the style BUT.. it has a digital compass.. I don't want a compass.."

Why don't Suunto people decide on a fewer models, make them the best they can in terms of quality and accuracy and then place them on the market.
I guarantee the customers would be more satisfied!

Excuse my rant, but it's been bugging me for a while now and I had to get it out of my system. :D
