Product Description

The stainless steel Suunto X6HRM wrist-top computer/timepiece provides you with tools for analyzing and improving your performance in your favorite endurance sport. It combines a heart rate monitor and an altimeter that comes with the included Suunto transmitter belt. It also features a barometer, digital compass, chronometer, and clinometer (for measuring slope angle). This wrist-top computer also comes in another version--the X6HR with composite housing.

A combined altimeter and heart rate monitor is a practical tool for all outdoor and endurance sports activities, helping you find the ideal training level or the most suitable hiking pace and understand the impact of altitude and topographic factors on heart rate. The chronometer records altitude and heart rate profiles at 2-, 10-, or 60-second intervals and has virtually an unlimited capacity for split/lap times. It also offers an interval timer for circuit training and repetitions.

You can transfer and store the logs you have recorded with your Suunto X6HRM to your PC. The logs can be either Hiking logs stored in the Suunto X6HRM logbook files, weather logs stored in the weather memory, or Chrono logs stored in the chrono memory. When the data has been transferred, you can organize, view and add related information to it, and create charts with the Suunto Activity Manager software.

The Suunto X6HRM comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible hiking. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, help maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. The compass also guides you back when running in an unknown place or just strolling around in a foreign city.

The Suunto X6HRM is water resistant, tested to 100 meters/330 feet according to ISO 2281 standard, which means you can use it for swimming or other water sports activities--but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.

The Logbook feature allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). The Suunto X6HRM can store 20 logbook files at one time. More

The Suunto Activity Manager (SAM) is software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto X6HRM. With SAM you can visualize the altitude and heart rate profiles for your routes, analyze and plan your training, and keep a training diary. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.

Summary: This is not Suunto X6HRM
Comment: Description appears to be Suunto X6HRM (M is for Metal), but the item shipped is in fact Suunto X6HR. I sent it back asking for the good item (which cost me 80, more than 100$) and I had a refund. Thanks a lot it cost me a lot for ... nothing. I will surely order again.

Summary:

Just not up to scratch

Comment:

The performance and usability of this watch simply do not justify its price tag.

1. The HRM function isn't reliable. My $30 unbranded HRM maintains a better wireless connection to the chest strap. Occasionally the X6HR measures false heart rate spikes up to 190. Occasional drop outs or false spikes are not a problem for a simple HRM, but a real pain when you're using the X6HR to record over time, as it screws up heart rate statistics.

2. The buttons are too 'mushy'. It's hard to tell when a button has been properly pressed.

3. The software the comes with the watch is clunky and ugly.

Overall, if you are looking at the X6HR, look at the Polar AXN500.

Weak heart rate functions

Comment:

I bought the suunto X6hrt after having 2 polars and getting sick of their fragility during training. The suunto site isn't that clear about the product but I bought it expecting at least the same level of functions that I got in simpler polar watches. In this model, compass, barometer, altimeter look goods, but the HR function only measures the current HR, nothing else. What about % of max HR (very easy to implement) and calories expendure?
For a USD 1,000 watch, it really doesn't pay off if you need some HR basic functions.

Summary:

After recall an excellent multifunction HRM

Comment:

The first X6HRM I purchased was very flaky, with the screen blanking out after a button was pushed. I was about to return it, but found out there was a recall. The new unit functions flawlessly and is great if you have regular workouts you do. With altimeter, HRM and timer saving data you can download workout profiles to your PC (average software but functional) and overlay curves to check progress during the season or year-to-year.
The only minor complaint is that the unit sucks down batteries. They're easy to replace though, so buy a few spares.
