confused about functions

[torinyc]

I am trying to buy a suunt for my husband and I can not figure which one. He bikes and does downhill skiing. I was hoping to buy one for both sports, but I can not figure out which one would be best. Could anyone here share their opinion, please? Also, is the chest strap needed for heart rate measure? My husband is XXL and the customer service person said their straps run only up to L...Thank you all

Okay... First things First... What features are important to you?? If you want to have the vertical descent capabilities of a ski watch go with the S6.. If you want the abilities of a heart rate monitor, go with the X6HR. If I had to pick one, I would go with the X6HR as it does have some of the Vertical log features of the S6. You kinda have to determine which he is doing more to make that kind of Judgement call. Next. the Large Chest strap will be plenty big. I am a 52 coat and the large goes around me fine... it is an elastic strap and come in 3 sizes, they have very little to do with shirt size.
