Customer Review: Okay, room for improvement
I have had my T4c for 4 weeks now. On the plus side: * the heart rate monitor functions better than Polar or Timex, especially early in a workout. With Polar and Timex I'd usually get wild values until I had warmed up (i.e. pouring sweat). Suunto seems to do a better job. * I enjoy the Coach. Not sure if I will attain my goals but it has so far really nailed the intense/moderate/rest periods well. * definitely okay for an every day watch. The negatives though are definitely things Suunto could fix: * the manual is bizarre, clearly missing steps. Figuring this thing out was tough. * in heart rate mode you can lock the buttons which is necessary as the stop/start is very easy to push. BUT you cannot lock the device while showing heart rate AND training effect prediction. Um... why not? It's the only setting like that. * the face gets scratched. I have managed a few very deep grooves in 3 weeks with normal living. Definitely will be needing a solution here.
Customer Review: OK for Training
Clever product with some nice features. Instructions could be a little better written. Price was very attractive for the features included.
