The Suunto t6d Black Flame - A Serious Training Tool With Amazing Screen Contrast
For Excellent Visibility
A Suunto t6d heart rate monitor allows you to stay totally in tune with your exercise and see real-time training effects
right on the face of the watch.
A Suunto t6d is the watch of choice for many top triathletes, marathon runners, cyclists and cross-country skiers that
compete at the top-tier internationally. That is because the Suunto t6d delivers with a wide variety of features and a level of
expandability that makes it a great choice for any outdoor sport. The Suunto t6d black flame offers an incredible level of
contrast that makes it our top pick for those who have difficulty seeing things in low light situations.
Staying dialed in with your body and reaching your goals can be tough. It takes the right tools, knowledge, and guidance to
be able to improve with each training session. Use your t6d, Suunto Comfort Belt and included Suunto Training Manager PC
software to get a receive a analysis of seven physiological parameters, with accuracy previously available only in sports laboratories. This
Highly detailed analysis breaks down nearly every aspect of your training so you can make adjustments of how to train more efficiently in
the future.
Our take is that a Suunto t6d heart rate monitor is a really high quality watch product and, like Garmin and Polar, sponsors
a lot of top athletes, so their product development is on a higher level when it comes to features required by those whose job is
to run faster, swim faster,and bike further. We also really like the styling and the color contrasts with the Suunto t6d black
flame.
Suunto's training effect indicator gives you an accurate measure of how hard your body is working and, unique to Suunto, is the
EPOC, or short for post-exercise oxygen consumption level. This EPOC helps you adjust your training so you are getting the most from
your exercise program.
The Suunto t6d black flame also includes a built-in altimeter to help you check on your climbing performance and how your
body acts at differing altitudes. Compare notes between EPOC and altitude to see how your body adjusts.
One of the things that we really like a lot about the Suunto t6d is the Suunto Comfort belt chest strap. As the name
implies this belt is comfortable to wear and it is also secure. It is fine to swim with and is totally flexible and doesn't
slip when secure to the chest.
The Suunto t6d heart rate monitor have so many great features to help you optimize your training and they all come with the
Suunto training manager software that helps you pinpoint areas for improvement.
A countdown timer, stopwatch, up to 99 split times in memory, two second recording intervals for data, heart rate zones,
calories burned in real-time, real-time cumulative vertical, and so much more. It's hard not to like the Suunto t6d black flame
just for all the features it gives you, either on your wrist or on top of your bike's handlebars.
WHAT DO WE THINK:
These watches kick-butt for both styling, durability and features, plus they come with a two year limited warranty which is double
that of any other manufacturer. If it's good enough for guys that go sub-9 hours in a long course triathlon I guess we're good with it.
