T3 Orange Webbing

Working with today's top athletes, sports physiologists, Suunto engineers and designers have created a new line of heart rate monitors that break from tradition in terms of style and functionality.

Suunto heart rate monitors lead in accuracy with real-time features that help you maximize the results of every workout. Whether you're a beginning fitness enthusiast, professional athlete or seasoned trainer, you'll find a Suunto heart rate monitor with the features you need.

What if you could glance at your wrist and see the total aerobic benefit of your workout in real-time? And what if at the end of your workout you knew exactly how much the session improved your aerobic condition? By all measures, you'd be wearing the Suunto t3 with Training Effect.

Training Effect takes the guesswork out of working out. More powerful than traditional zone training systems, Training Effect keeps you on-target for achieving your goal, whether it's weight loss, cardiovascular health or shaving minutes off a marathon. Here's how:

Working from your personal fitness profile, the Suunto t3 analyzes your heartbeats and translates the data into a simple, one-to-five Training Effect scale. Think of it as a personal training guide. If, for example, you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo, you should work out until your TE meter reads 3.0 to 3.9 (2 to 4 times weekly).

Alternatively, if you want to improve your aerobic condition rapidly without the risk of overtraining, you should push yourself until your TE meter reads 4.0 to 4.9 (1 to 2 times weekly with a few recovery sessions in the TE 1.0 to 2.0 range).

It's important to note that Training Effect is relative to each user. While a novice runner might achieve a TE of 4.0 on a four-mile jog, a professional runner might have to complete an uphill marathon to get the same reading. Both runners will have to exercise "hard" to achieve a TE of 4.0.

In addition to Training Effect, the Suunto t3 displays heart rate, calories burned and zone training. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm and stopwatch with split/lap.
