Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The performance and usability of this watch simply do not justify its price tag.
1. The HRM function isn't reliable.My $30 unbranded HRM maintains a better wireless connection to the chest strap.Occasionally the X6HR measures false heart rate spikes up to 190.Occasional drop outs or false spikes are not a problem for a simple HRM, but a real pain when you're using the X6HR to record over time, as it screws up heart rate statistics.
2. The buttons are too 'mushy'.It's hard to tell when a button has been properly pressed.
3.The software the comes with the watch is clunky and ugly.
Overall, if you are looking at the X6HR, look at the Polar AXN500.

Product Description:
The stainless steel Suunto X6HRM wrist-top computer/timepiece provides you with tools for analyzing and improving your performance in your favorite endurance sport. It combines a heart rate monitor and an altimeter that comes with the included Suunto transmitter belt. It also features a barometer, digital compass, chronometer, and clinometer (for measuring slope angle). This wrist-top computer also comes in another version--the X6HR with composite housing.
A combined altimeter and heart rate monitor is a practical tool for all outdoor and endurance sports activities, helping you find the ideal training level or the most suitable hiking pace and understand the impact of altitude and topographic factors on heart rate. The chronometer records altitude and heart rate profiles at 2-, 10-, or 60-second intervals and has virtually an unlimited capacity for split/lap times. It also offers an interval timer for circuit training and repetitions.
You can transfer and store the logs you have recorded with your Suunto X6HRM to your PC. The logs can be either Hiking logs stored in the Suunto X6HRM logbook files, weather logs stored in the weather memory, or Chrono logs stored in the chrono memory. When the data has been transferred, you can organize, view and add related information to it, and create charts with the Suunto Activity Manager software.
The Suunto X6HRM comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible hiking. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, help maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. The compass also guides you back when running in an unknown place or just strolling around in a foreign city.
The Suunto X6HRM is water resistant, tested to 100 meters/330 feet according to ISO 2281 standard, which means you can use it for swimming or other water sports activities--but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.
The Logbook feature allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). The Suunto X6HRM can store 20 logbook files at one time. More
