Which Suunto for Running and Cycling

[Jimbob]

Hi,

I am a bit mezmorized by all the information available on the Suunto website about the various product features/specifications and it has left me confused about which product is best for my needs.

Can anyone suggest a good heart rate monitor that is suitable for both running and cycling and one that enables me to transfer the data to my home computer so that I can monitor my performance.

I am looking for something stylish and provides a good selection of data on my performance whilst running and cycling, which I can monitor on my home computer.

Regards

Jimbob

Any of the T series should do the job. I would go a t4 or t6 and add a bike pod, and a foot pod depending on if you are running or Biking.. If you really want to splurge add a GPS pod as well.

All of this data will transfer down to your Computer to really get great data on your workouts..

Hi,

I can recommend the T4. Been using it for nearly a year, and it has both motivated me and recorded my progress.

The ability to add PODS is a great feature.

Suunto T4 is great, the only downside is that the face scratches very easily.

Cheers
