Having used it for a couple months, let me give the pros and cons.
The watch itself: love it, it's comfortable and functional. I highly recommend the watch.
The foot pod: not as much of a fan. I have a garmin forerunner GPS unit I like a lot more. The foot pod has to be calibrated to your stride, and if you change stride, it will become inaccurate. I prefer the GPS unit in terms of accuracy.
The bike pod: I don't have a bike yet but I hope to use this in the future.
One thing that really bugs me about this is the heart rate belt. It has memory built in to it. I really just wanted to use it to see my heart rate on the watch, but it is also known as a memory belt, which means it stores past data. What sucks, is that when it is full, it starts BEEPING EVERY 3 SECONDS AND WON'T SHUT UP. And the only way to make it stop is to connect it to your PC and download the data.
When you're out for a run, or if you're away from your PC, or just too busy to download the damn data from it, the beeping is maddening. I went back to using my garmin, the HR number is smaller and harder to see, but at least it doesn't constantly beep and annoy the hell out of me.
Overall recommended, but the beeping thing is causing me to dock it a star.Get more detail about Suunto T6 Triathlon Pack (T6 Heart Rate Monitor, Road Bike POD, Foot POD, and Memory Belt).
