Summary: Used or Brand New
Comment: I took a chance and purchased a used T3 with a dead battery, scratches on the face and no manuals. I replaced the battery. Downloaded both the user manual and quick start guide from the American Suunto website (www.SuuntoWatches.com). I found it easier to understand by looking at the pictures in the user manual while reading the quick start guide.

I can't imagine the HR working very well without inputting my personal stats: height, weight, DOB, gender. I set the activity level at 5, as recommended. PolyWatch removed all of the scratches. It's amazing stuff that Amazon sells much cheaper than Suunto. Then I put a Zagg (www.zagg.com) protective film over the face to prevent future scratches. You can't even tell that it's there - REALLY!

My watch looks BETTER than brand new. Serious training isn't easy. So why should a proper training aid be simple-minded? This T3 works superbly. It was well worth the extra $30 to recondition it and the time spent learning to get comfortable with it. Suunto also posts 5 pages of FAQs. Hopefully this will help others enjoy theirs, if not - there's another "used" T3 to purchase.

Summary: I don't recommend this HR Monitor
Comment: I do not recommend this product. I have used several Polar Brand HR Monitors over the years and found them to be extremely beneficial for my training efforts. This product has been a problem from the start. I finally figured out that the battery in the chest strap was bad and replaced it. It is till showing clearly bad numbers for the Heart Rate. The watch is difficult to set up and the numbers are hard to read. Sadly I discarded the original packaging so I can't return it to Amazon and am forced to deal with Suunto's warranty program.

Summary: Terrible User Guide
Comment: I returned the watch within 24 hours because I could not understand the user manual and coordinate set-up or on going functions . Also, tried calling customer support and was informed that they were experiencing long wait periods. Waited over 20 minutes, hung up and decided the watch was not for me.

Summary: Great watch!
Comment: This watch was for my husband's birthday. He has had a Polar monitor for a while, but this has more features. I didn't get the foot pod at the time, but will soon. He likes the sleek look and that the time is very easy to see while running. I disagree with the other reviews about it being "cheap plastic"--most watches of this type are plastic or a synthetic rubber. The band size was easy to adjust, and all in all he loves it!!

Summary: It's like a personal trainer...kind of
Comment: I have used this watch for over 30 days and have done about 20 workouts with it. I bought the Suunto T3 to help me train for Go Vertical! in Chicago. The watch's heart rate monitor is excellent, as is the training effect feature which analyzes how hard/long you work out and shows you on a scale of 1 to 5 how challenging the workout is. It was a bit uncomfortable for me at first but now I have gotten used to it and it suits me well. My biggest complaint is that the face of the watch has scratches already. Albeit, I may be a little rugged on the watch I would wish a watch of this caliber had a face which is more resistant to scratches, so buy some protectant or shield for your watch!

Overall, I highly recommend the watch. It is a very good tool to help you look at your prior workouts, analyze them and adapt future workouts to maximize goals. Great if you are training for an event and also good if you are trying to get in shape!
