A great product EXCEPT...
This is my first watch/heart rate monitor. It was very easy to set-up. It looks great and is quite comfortable. And it works great EXCEPT - I run on canal roads with high voltage power lines. The heart rate monitor was searching for the chest strap signal most of the time, and when it did find it, it was a very (low) inaccurate reading of my heart rate. As soon as I got away from the high voltage lines, it worked well. The manual mentions this problem I only wish I knew before I ordered it. I will contact Suunto customer service to see if there are any other ways to correct the problem -other than what the manual mentions. I am quite impressed with the product other than the aforementioned problem.
Great watch though a little tricky to figure out at first
Overall I'd say that this is a great watch. It was a little tricky to figure out initially, but well worth it. Easy to ready kcal burned, heart rate, percentage of target, etc.
