Dual Time & Activity Setting

[velke]

Am a new user of a t3, and would appreciate if anyone can explain what the " Dual Time " function is for?

Also how important is the Activity Setting? Should one set it higher or lower

The booklets say 7 hours per week is either a 7.5 or 8 should i go higher or lower?

Many thanks in advance.

Today, all you need is a Suunto t-Series wristop training device, a PC, and one or more accessories to create an optimal training range that outlines your ideal energy expenditure and muscle exertion while preventing you from overworking and damaging your muscles.

Hi Velke,

the dual time is in my opinion just a way to have 2 different clocks on your watch, ie with a different time zone. I have for example my own time (the netherlands) en as 2nd time the time of USA. But i use it almost never.

I don't know exactly how important the activity setting is. Do you use it in training manager? (I have the T6, don't know exactly the differences). I don't give much attention to it, but the training manager calculates it by itself if I upload some logs.

The "t" in t6 (if you don't want to get too technical) stands for "training". It actually refers to the time interval between two heartbeats, or EPOC. Measured to the millisecond, this interval allows you (using the included PC software) to assess your current fitness, set a proper training load, measure your actual fitness gain over time, and achieve your overall fitness goals.
