By Kevin from Madison WI on 10/05/2009 Pros: Accurate, Compact Design, Easy To Use, Gives A Quick Reading, Versatile Best Uses: Interval Training, Running, Treadmill Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: One cool feature - for me at least - is the display of "training effect" (which according to Suunto "shows the degree to which an individual workout improves your aerobic fitness. More powerful than conventional zone training features, Training Effect tells you the quantifiable results of your workout."
Somehow, a little screen telling me that to get to the next level will take 2 minutes really motivates me. Then when I'm at the next level, I think, 4 more minutes, no problem. Then, only 3 minutes to the next one...I can do that. And so on.
The log is great too. Today I worked out for an hour. Max HR was 178. Average was 151. And according to the monitor, I burned 888 calories.
Hitting those quantitative goals has motivated me to workout harder than ever before. Best investment I've made in a long time.
By ODA from Fort Greene, NY on 10/01/2009 Pros: Accurate, Compact Design, Gives A Quick Reading Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I need to study the instruction manual, or take a college course, to fully comprehend how to operate this thing. My digital watch in junior high school had a light button, why didn't they include one in this watch?
Also, at first I thought the wrist band issue mentioned in the earlier reviews was people being to nit-picky. After experiencing it for myself, I find it annoying.
I'll keep the watch, even though I am tempted to return it. I have wanted a Suunto since 2000. However, I am not thrilled with the purchase.
By EC from Oakland, CA on 09/23/2009 Pros: Compact Design, Easy To Use, Versatile Best Uses: Running, Spinning, Treadmill Describe Yourself: Conditioning Exerciser Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this to compare to a Polar monitor that I've had for some time. I like the T4's user interface better, and the watch is nice enough looking to wear as, well, a watch. The chest band is comfortable and stays in place even during the jostling one receives during ice hockey. The watch band is nylon webbing and, though very comfortable, tends to loosen under my hockey gloves. It doesn't do this during running or cycling, however. The log and "coach" features of the monitor are nice and encourage you to rest and to work out when you should. You don't want to let it down.... I'm very pleased with this monitor.
By ob606 from cape cod, ma on 08/28/2009 Describe Yourself: Athletic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I work out dailey. Variety of activities. This watch is great while it works. Does scratch easily but you can buff out with toothpaste. Burns through batteries. Once replaced not so waterproof. This is my third watch...Still like the functions so will try one more time....batteries are not hard to replace but not sure how to make water proof again.
By Outdoors Girl from Ellicott City, MD on 08/18/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Reliable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Athletic Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The watch is very light weight which is great for working out. I have used it cycling, running and in the gym. The strap is relatively comfortable as to be respected. I found it extremely easy to set up unlike other reviewers. Only thing I worry about is the face-its very exposed so could be easy to damage. So far no issues, I love it.
By louisville from louisville, ky on 08/12/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable, Stylish Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great watch, it was a gift and the owner loves it!
By Manwhich from Clarskville, AR on 08/02/2009 Pros: Accurate, Easy To Use, Gives A Quick Reading Best Uses: Running, Spinning, Treadmill, Weight Loss Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This thing does it all and the "coach" feature is great. It has shed new light on the diversity of intensity I was lacking in my workouts. The training effect (TE) feature has become more of a reference to me than watching my actual heartrate because it gives you a better value of how effective your workout was. My only complaint was that the batteries were dead in both the watch and the heart rate monitor when I got it. But after getting new batteries (readily available for $5) it worked great.
By Jennifer H from Kansas City, MO on 07/27/2009 Pros: Accurate, Gives A Quick Reading, Versatile Best Uses: Cycling, Running, Spinning, Treadmill, Weight Loss Describe Yourself: Conditioning Exerciser Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this product for a gift. This heart rate monitor is just plain awesome. It's virtually weightless, measures just about everything under the sun, and has an infinite number of expansion kits (gps, bike, etc.). The built-in coach is great, constantly adjusting for what you actually do vs. what you're scheduled to do...realistic yet challenging. I was concerned about the watch band being different than the typical heart rate monitors, but the recipient of the monitor said that he actually prefers it. All together, a great buy!
Good training watch, user's guide so so By Training more from Bozeman MT on 07/24/2009 Pros: Easy To Read, Good Quality, Reliable Describe Yourself: Athletic, Classic, Practical Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The user's guide was difficult to follow
