Hi - I've used a lot of training devices in the past. My list includes Polar HRM of several models, the garmin 301 GPS model, stopwatches and a finger, even the new Nike/iPod combo and this one really takes the cake for me. I have a scientific background and work in the tech industry, but even though I understand math and engineering, it's not what I want when I am working out. I want simplicity, reliability and features that sit there until I ask for them. I don't want to get a degree in deviceology to make it work each and every time I'm out for a run, hike or bike. Sometimes I am training for a marathon or triathlon - so I'd prefer my unit be capable to help me reach those goals when I need to plan workouts and analyze data about how my training is going - but the wrist unit itself has to be intuitive and stay out of the way when I just want to work out.

This model can expand with GPS, or two different bike modules, or a foor pod if distance measurement is something you want in addition to HRM and time of training data. It also can be used with the SmartBelt (which cost extra). The smartbelt will work with the T3 during exercise (just like the included HRM measurement belt that you wear around your chest), but the optional Smartbelt stores advanced workout metrics so you could geek out with PC/coach and truly train like the pros if you wish.

The unit is well designed, thin, utilitarian yet not overly geeky (I would take it off for a black tie event, but that's about the only time it's not appreciated on my wrist as a watch). The batteries in the watch and transmitter are consumer servicable and the built in training software is a joy to use. Yes, there are five overall modes to the watch and there are no tiny text to help remind you what buttons do which - so you do need to read the manual or get help from someone else (Suuntu discussion boards are free online help from other users of the products). Once you master the basics of how the buttons affect the watch software - you will feel comfortable focusing on your workout and not operating a device.

I am really impressed how well the unit works and the intelligence and design that went into the interface, the training software that is built in - as well as how well the display works. The built in logs also are great with detailed review of the 15 most recent workout, plus cumulative and summary data for the current week, last week, and each of the last 6 months data.

Pre-Diamond Journey Results – Keep yourself accountable and you’ll get results no matter what!

Just wanted to share my "pre-diamond" club results after hitting the gym... I'm down an additional 5 lbs!! wow! I genuinely can't believe it, considering the last few pounds are the hardest to lose! (and it's only been about 2.5 weeks)! My guess is that some of it is water weight... regardless, it's still very good news.

My #1 tip: Keep yourself accountable... Keep a detailed food & exercise journal, let others see it on a regular basis to provide you with feedback. Also Plan, Plan and PLAN!! It might seem like a chore at first, but it eventually becomes a habit and ultimately, it's the ONLY strategy that keeps you on track!!

Anyhow, I'm really excited to see where I will be at the end of my Diamond journey (which ends in 6 weeks)! I got the above results on my own (following the RCR - Red Carpet Ready eating plan and new Action Hero Babe workouts)... I have confidence that I will get GREAT results in Val's Diamond coaching program... Stay tuned for additional progress throughout my Diamond Journey!

P.S. I show you my cool new Polar Heart Rate watch as well... definitely what I needed to monitor my cardio intensity!

Highgear PulseWare Solo Heart Rate Monitor with Wireless Strap

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FZ1WOS?ie=UTF8&tag=bscb-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000FZ1WOS

I like this watch. Here are the cons:
The chest strap doesn't adjust small enough for a women less than 34 inches around. (tuck it up under a sports bra, ladies.)
Static zaps the watch and makes the screen go blank, so you have to take out/reset the battery and set your settings all over again.
Last winter this happened to me 3 or 4 times, so I became an expert at setting it! It's not as bad as they say, but the directions aren't very good. I just had to play around with it. The watch just got zapped last night before a spin class, and I had it up and running in time for class. It's only a problem for me in the winter with the dry air and static.
I got my watch from REI and it was about 20 bucks more, this is a good price. Get it while you can.
I love it because it's not HUGE like all of those Polar watches, and it has a lot more features than Polar's women's model that is smaller. The battery lasts about a year. When it starts to not pick up the signal as well, it's time to replace. I think the battery is 5 bucks or so.
Another con is that you have to set the resting heart rate by getting yourself to that rate and setting it while you're wearing the strap. It would be a lot easier if you could just enter in the number.
I use the watch primarily for the calorie count, the heart rate monitoring, and the review mode where you can go back and see your high and low heart rates and how long you were in your zone.
It may seem like there are a lot of cons, but I wouldn't trade this watch for any other. A cardio session without it seems incomplete.
