Sports reviews of Suunto T3 and GPS POD Multisport Combo PackCustomer Review: Great all around device! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have had this device for over a month now using it 4-6 times per week. I have used the heart-rate monitor and the GPS together for cycling and running, and have used just the heart-rate monitor during weight training workouts. I use the interval timer a lot during my cardio workouts to raise and lower my intensity levels.
That said, I am very impressed with the T3/GPS combo for the following reasons:
X Accurate heart rate measurements
X Seemless connectivity between HR belt and T3
X Accurate speed and distance measurements with GPS
X Tracks and notifies HR zones
X Tracks calories burned
X Stopwatch and interval timer
The T3 has a lot of other features that I haven't used to great extent yet, but I have used the TE (training effect) feature, which helps you to measure the overall effect of your workout on your cardio vascular fitness, to measure and increase the intensity of my workouts when needed. I've also used the logs on the unit to review the recorded workout data. It stores a year's worth of workout data that you can view from the T3 or you can buy a PC pod and download it to your computer. The T3 also can be fine tuned to more effectively track and measure your workouts by entering your height, weight, max heart rate, and fitness level.
Again I am very impressed with the T3 Multisport combo pack and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good HRM that can track speed and distance, and record your workout data. You will be very happy with its functionality and performance.

Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes of all types and skill level, this advanced-function combo pack includes the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer and GPS POD. The GPS POD employs the Global Positioning System to track speed and distance. It adds a new dimension to all POD-compatible Suunto heart rate monitors (Suunto T3, Suunto T4, and Suunto T6). More than a heart rate monitor, the Suunto T3 Wristop Computer helps you train with confidence by providing real-time information on the aerobic benefit of each workout. Are you over or under-training? Sweating hard enough to reach your goals? The Suunto T3 knows and tells with real-time Training Effect. 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. By 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. As a personal training guide, 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. It also shows speed and distance with optional Suunto PODs. The onboard logbook has a 15-workout memory. Additional functions include dual time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch with split/lap.
