More than a heart rate monitor wristtop helps you train by providing real-time information.

What if you could glance at your wrist and see the total aerobic benefit of your workout in real-time? You'd know how much harder to push and for how long. Based on your personal fitness profile the Suunto t3 delivers essential feedback on your aerobic activities - heart rate calories burned and zone training information. You can also add real-time speed and distance data by combining the Suunto t3 with optional Suunto PODs. To ensure your workout data is accurate the Suunto t3 is digitally coded for interference-free transmission. By monitoring your Training Effect (TE) Suunto t3 takes the guesswork out of effective training. Using data from your personal fitness profile the Suunto t3 analyzes your physiological progress and translates the data into a simple one-to-five TE scale. If for example you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo you should work out until your TE meter reads between 3.0 and 3.9 two to four times per week To improve your aerobic condition more rapidly but without the risk of over-training you should push yourself harder once or twice per week so your TE meter reads 4.0 to 4.9 with a few recovery sessions in the TE 1.0 to 2.0 range. Training Effect is relative to each individual. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0. The Suunto t3's integrated logbook stores all the information from your last 15 workouts. Equipped with optional Suunto PC POD and Suunto Training Manager Lite PC software you can easily transfer this data to your PC to maintain and analyze your personal training logbook. The improved user interface enhances usability with button lock and zone alarms. In addition you'll find all the features you expect like stopwatch with splits and laps dual time date and alarm.
