The Suunto t3d lets you accurately monitor your real-time heart rate, average heart rate, and calorie consumption. The watch also tracks your real-time Training Effect, a quick and accurate measurement of how hard your body is working at any given moment. By knowing your Training Effect, you'll enjoy a more intimate understanding of your body's workout "sweet spot," an essential tidbit if you want to achieve your targets without setting yourself back by under- or over-training.

The Training Effect works intuitively: The watch first notes the info from your personal fitness profile, and then analyzes your physiological progress and translates the data into a simple one-to-five scale. For example, if you want to improve your aerobic fitness at a moderate tempo, you should exercise until your TE meter reads between 3.0 and 3.9, two to four times per week.

To improve your aerobic condition more rapidly--but without the risk of over-training--you should push yourself harder once or twice per week, so your TE meter reads 4.0 to 4.9, with a few recovery sessions in the TE 1.0 to 2.0 range. The Training Effect is relative to each individual. 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. In other words, both runners will have to exercise hard to achieve a TE of 4.0.

The Suunto t3d offers interference-free digital ANT transmission, making it easy to pair your heart rate monitor with the HR belt and an optional Suunto training pod. Training PODs are small units that attach to such items as a running shoe or a bike to calculate your speed, distance, and even pedal revolutions per minute while you exercise. Pods are ideal for athletes who aren't satisfied with half-hearted training efforts, but really want to monitor their training routines down to the last detail.

Suunto t3dheart rate monitor includes a training logbook that compiles your progress and personal stats. You can even conduct a more thorough analysis of your workouts by using the Suunto Training Manager Lite software.

What Does the Suunto t3d do?
Training Effect: Suunto's exclusive Training Effect feature tells you whether you're training too little, too hard or staying within the zones for optimal performance. Training Effect uses a simple one - to - five scale to display how intense your workout is based on your current fitness level. And with alarms, you'll know as soon as you move up or down in intensity level.

Interference Free Heart Rate Monitoring:
The ANT heart rate belt provides interference free HR monitoring anywhere and everywhere, remedying problems associated with previous HR monitors that were affected by power lines outside or electronic equipment inside the gym, making the Suunto t3d a valuable investment for those who love to train outdoors as well as in.

15 Log Memory:
Record a personal training log of statistical data that reflects the progression of your aerobic health and performance capacity. And choose whether to save all of your logs or just select ones.

Activity Class:
The Activity Class rates your current activity levels so that your Suunto watch knows your baseline activity level.

Track Data on Your PC (with the PC POD):
Using the PC POD, keep detailed records of your workouts, heart rate, training effect, and calories burned. The PC POD comes with Suunto Training Manager Lite software.
