New t-series

[berguschi]

At a suunto online store in Germany they are offering two versions of t-series. They are offering the old version which Suunto has offered up to April 2008 and a new version called t1c or t3c or t4c, started shipment in May 2008.

What is the difference between both versions ? Is it worthwhile to buy the newest generation at higher price ?

I'm just curious to know what the "upgrades", if any, are. I have a T6 and I know the battery life sucks. Was that issue addressed? 280 views and no one knows the answer?

	Suunto t6 - Click for more info The Suunto t6 is one of the most exciting new personal training devices to hit the health and fitness market this year. 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.

I believe the c suffix on the t3c notes the fact that the watch comes with their new Comfort belt. I have the t3, and for a moment thought that the c might indicate that they'd added the coach (t4) feature... but that's not the case.

	Sunnto t3 - Click for more info At one point a fitness enthusiast who wanted to monitor and track their heart rate, caloric burn, and other exercise data would need a tangle of electrodes, complex equipment, and extensive personal guidance from a certified fitness trainer. 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.

	Suunto t4 - Click for more info he Suunto t4 is another excellent addition to Suunto's growing line of fitness training wristop computers. Like all of Suunto's t-Series training watches (the t1, t3, t4, and the original t6) the t4 monitors your heart rate and caloric burn to assist you in developing an optimized fitness regimen. It also provides you with information about the progression and effects of your training through constant feedback on how to maximize the intensity our your exercises without the over exertion of your heart and muscles. This "intelligent sports watch", via a simple cell-phone like interface, offers clear advice on how to get the most out of each and every workout.

There are two differences between the T3/4 and the T3C/4C. The new C version:

1. Comes with the Comfort Belt
2. Supports the Cadence Pod for cyclists

Whether it's worth paying more for the C version depends on the price difference and whether or not you want to use the Cadence Pod.
