Amazon.com Product Description:
Designed for athletes in training, the Suunto T4 wrist-top computer monitors your progress and makes intelligent workout recommendations for frequency, duration, and intensity. The unit is built around the Suunto Coach feature, which generates a five- day plan for improving your aerobic condition. Employing Training Effect technology, it tells you which days to work out with information on duration and intensity. If you accept a recommended workout, the T4 guides you through the session to make sure you receive the proper training load. If you decline a recommended workout in favor of a rest day or non-recommended workout, however, the T4 continues to monitor and adapt by adjusting your five-day plan accordingly.
The unit is also compatible with Suunto's various speed- and distance-measuring pods, including the Foot Pod, Bike Pod, and GPS Pod (all sold separately). Each model offers its own functions: the Foot Pod measures your foot speed in seconds or miles per hour, while the Bike Pod gauges your cycling speed and distance. The GPS Pod, meanwhile, employs a global positioning system to track speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, inline skating, and kayaking. Other T4 details include measurements for heart rate, calories burned, and distance; a three-tier zone training system with alarms; and a wristwatch with dual time, date, and alarm modes.

About Suunto
Suunto was founded in 1936 by outdoors man and a keen orienteering enthusiast, Tuomas Vohlonen, who had long been bothered by a problem: the inaccuracy of traditional dry compasses and their lack of steady needle operation. Being an engineer with an inventive turn of mind, he discovered and patented the production method for a much steadier needle, better readings, and a new level of accuracy.
By 1950 the company was exporting compasses to over 50 countries around the world, including Canada and the United States. In 1952, Helsinki was hosting the Olympic Games, and the torches carried to light the Olympic flame were Suunto products. The next step was improving the stability and accuracy of marine compasses. The first marine compass, the Suunto K-12, was launched onto the market in 1953. In 1957, Suunto started manufacturing hypsometers, which measure the height of trees.
In the 1960s, the compass range grew further and Suunto introduced its first diving compass--initiated by the divers themselves. A British sports diver attached a Suunto compass to his wrist and found that the device also worked underwater. Thanks to his feedback and initiatives, the new business category was found. Suunto's exports and business grew steadily and Suunto then focused on combining its strength in precision mechanics with new skills in electronics. Accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness have been Suunto's key values from the very beginning of the company history.
Today, Suunto is a leading designer and manufacturer of sports instruments for training, diving, mountaineering, hiking, skiing, sailing, and golf. True to its roots, Suunto is today the world's biggest compass manufacturer. Prized for their design, accuracy and dependability, Suunto sports instruments combine the aesthetics and functionality of watches with sport-specific computers that help athletes at all levels analyze and improve performance. Headquartered in Vantaa, Finland, Suunto employs more than 500 people worldwide and distributes its products to nearly 60 countries. The company is a subsidiary of Helsinki-based Amer Sports Corporation with the sister brands Wilson, Salomon, Atomic, Precor, and Mavic.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Aesthetically poor but nice functions
Like many posts, the most disappointing thing about the Suunto T4 is the poor protection on the face of the watch.It is easily scuffed up and truth be told looks kind of cheap.It doesn't look like a high performance tool and is just not a nice looking device to wear as a watch during the day.The band is flimsy and awkward as well.Make no mistake, that if you use this for any consistent type of training/running that you will have to replace the watchband with something sturdier and more sweat ...

Rating: - This a whole training computer
This watch is a whole computer, it allows you to save your training, heart beat, calories consumed, distance you walk or run, etc. besides, it tells you what kind of training you have to do, and more, on the other hand, it is fragile, you have to be carefull to avoid damage on it.
Rating: - Ok
The functions are great.The design needs some work.The buttons get inadvertently pushed all the time, and the cloth strap is awful.
Rating: - Suunto T4 trainer
I rate this item with four (4) stars because it is fully functional and user friendly.However, the watch comes with a very cheap cloth band that doesn't stay tight (because the band is not secured to the watch with a seem or weld) and the face is not scratch-resistant or recessed. (on the second day wearing the watch I got a big scratch across the face).Overall, this watch is worth the buy with an additional strap (the rubber one) and a scratch-resistant face.
Rating:  - Good, could be better foir the $$$
My background: running since 1985, 8 yrs of XC, 9 marathons.I've been using HRM's for training for years and have tried Nike, Polar, Freestyle and Timex HRM's.I was intrigued by the buzz this watch was getting in some of the running and outdoors magazines, so I picked up the T4.Here are my thoughts:
1. The band looks cool, but that cool white stripe is grey and dingy two months later.It also constantly slips and requires readjustment.Nylon bands also get wet and stay wet until ... Read More
