The Suunto Foot POD wirelessly transmits speed and distance data to your T6c heart rate monitor. It features accurate data collection during both indoor and outdoor workouts by measuring each stride with built-in acceleration sensors and speed limit alarms alert you if you're going above or below your preset limits.

The T6c works in tandem with the included heart rate monitoring Comfort Belt, which has been improved by Suunto to perform and feel better during your activity. Traction strips keep the belt in place during intense workouts, plus you can unclip the heart rate module and toss the fabric strap in the wash for easy cleaning.

The Suunto T6c accurately measures the calories you burn in real time, records your training history in an internal logbook (up to 25 workouts), offers interference-free digital ANT transmission and coding, and provides PC compatibility to track your progress as your fitness increases. It has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (330 feet), enabling it to withstand rain and splashes of water as well as swimming.

The altimeter measures vertical speed and total ascent/descent, and it provides an altitude range of 160 to 2950 feet. It has 2- and 10-second recording intervals and also provides real-time vertical cumulative value and temperature compensation.

Training Effect
The Training Effect function shows the degree to which an individual workout improves your aerobic fitness. More powerful than conventional zone training features, Training Effect tells you the quantifiable results of your workout.

If your workouts are too easy, your aerobic condition won't improve. Likewise, if your workouts are too difficult, you run the risk of overtraining and hindering improvement. Between those extremes, it's difficult to gauge the effectiveness of a workout on gut-feeling alone.

The Training Effect feature takes the guesswork out of working out, giving you real-time and post-exercise information about the effectiveness of your workout. It's based on *EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) measurements during exercise, combined with information about your current fitness level and exercise history. During exercise, Training Effect shows the real-time effectiveness of your workout. And after exercise, Training Effect displays the final degree to which a workout improved your condition.

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.
