Opinions of the Comfort belt

[mrpiii]

I've been using my T6 for years and love it. What I don't love is the Heart Rate transmitter. I only get about a year's use out of one. What happens is the holes that the strap connect into crack and short of gluing the strap to the transmitter it won't stay on my chest. I think I'm on my 4th belt ($$$$!) I'm wondering what people's experience is with the comfort belt. I was about to buy one but I noticed a review where someone said the connectors were fragile and broke easily.

	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.

All straps are compatible with every Core model, allowing you to custom-tailor your Core to your tastes and needs.

I think it's some kind of marketing strategy. Why make something good, something that will last when you can make something cheap and sell it for big ? How many did you buy ? Think about it...

Actually, all of us have veins in our wrists, why doesn't the watch use them ? Why use a stupid belt when the watch(es) can simply read the pulse from the d@mn wrist ? I think Polar came up with something like it.

I have a T4c and the comfort belt is just that. Been using it for four months and I'm a bit of a clutz and have not damaged the connectors.

Thanks for the responses. I bought the comfort belt. It definitely is more comfortable and seems to stay put better.
