Suunto Activity Manager

[Pete]

The S6 sounds very interesting.
Right now we are using a HAC4 with interface to document our skiing days. Actually the software is very "puristic".
Is there already additional information available about the "Suunto Activity Manager" Software?
Will there be a difference between the 6-series and the 9-series watches?

For those who want even more from their watch, there's the Suunto S6. It was especially designed with downhill skiers and snowboarders in mind - the "S" stands for "Snow". The S6 includes an inclinometer, altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass. This powerful array of functions means that your S6 can help minimize the risks involved in moving around the mountains, while also providing you with knowledge necessary to improve your riding.

Not much else to report yet, but we know the downloading will record all data and allow charting and graphing. You will also be able to share and compare your info on the web at http://www.suuntosports.com. It should get pretty interesting b/c you will be able to 'virtually' compete with other and share your adventures.

Do you already know
- which data will be recorded (choices?)
- in what intervalls (choices?)
- for how many hours (depending on the intervalls)?

This would be interesting for the decision if you have to take your laptop with you for a longer vacation.

As of right now, we know you will be able to graph your vertical data (elevation, total ascent & total Descent)for either a log day, week, month or year. You will also be able to create your own custom graphs depending on the data you choose. The X6HR will take it to another level by adding heart rate readings with your elevation & vertical feet.

	Suunto X6 HR - Click for more info Just when you thought a sports watch couldn't get any better, Suunto introduces the X6 HR, X6 HRM and X6-HRT. These are truly the next generation in sports watches, packed with all of the technology that Suunto enthusiasts have been craving. Designed for Cross Sports applications, the X6 writstops are functionally very similar to the Suunto X6 - but with the added benefits of a heart rate monitor.

Will the X-6 be able to connect to a Mac, I don't have a PC. How will the Series 6 watches connect to the PC (USB, etc.). Even better would be if Suunto produce some Palm software, any word on that?

As of right now, the computer link is 9 pin serial. We have requested USB, and informed Suunto that USB is really the U.S. Standard, and serial is on its way out, if not totally out.

As far as I know, Mac is also not available as of yet, nor do I know of what the plans are for the Mac, but we'll keep you updated.
