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.

5 out of 5 stars Great watch   August 26, 2008
I got this watch mostly because it was cheap and for the looks (I believe it looks very stylish)
It turned out it has excelent functionality as well. I prefer it to the other Polar heart monitor I have.

4 out of 5 stars Great simple watch   August 24, 2008
Great product easy to use interface. Good looking, though personally i purchased a black wristband out of personal taste. Only downfall is the easily scratched face.


5 out of 5 stars An Excellent HRM !!!   July 27, 2008
I have had the Suunto T1 Heart Rate Monitor for nearly a year now and its the best HRM I have ever had. Yes there are more expensive HRMs that retain more workout history, but most people are looking for peak HR, average HR, time in each zone, zone alarms, # laps and time. the T1 does that and more.

I have used 5 times a week for one year without a scratch -- puzzled by other reviews here.

I bought this for my Mom too -- she's not a techie and she loves it too.

The Suunto T1 uses 2032 replacement batteries and a two-pack (one for watch and one for chest strap) is approx $4.40 at national discount retailers (like WM).

Amazon has the BEST price on many Suunto products including the T1.

If you are looking for a HRM with many features and excellent performance, then the Suunto T1 is it !!



4 out of 5 stars Good HR monitor, basic and elegant   February 22, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I replaced my very complex Polar RS200sd with the Suunto T1. So far, I am very happy. It is easy to set up (the Polar one about required a NASA engineer), easy to operate, gives good, consistent readings, and looks nice on my girly wrist. This particular model does not have the labels for the buttons on the front of the face - I think the next model year improves this. But there are only 4 buttons, and once you get aquainted with the unit, I don't think it is much of a problem. I like the calorie visual feature on the watch face, it is motivating. Have not had any trouble with the wrist unit picking up Heart Rate (had issues with that on the Polar.) So far, I am very pleased and would highly recommend this as a great HR monitor for a casual exerciser, or an athlete who does not need to store multiple workouts. (This model only stores one workout. The Sunnto T3 model stores more, but I did not need that feature.)


1 out of 5 stars doesn't measure up   February 2, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I was very disappointed with the Suunto.
- The design of the watch is such that the display scratches very easily. After just a few weeks of using it (running and cycling) the watch values/numerals were very difficult to read (I had ordered the watch with the black display which I guess did not help). Suunto suggests buying a display shield to prevent this from happening. I believe a sports watch should be designed such that it does not scratch easily.
- The heart rate monitor functionality was not very reliable. After about 3 months, it 'acted up' and at times would fail (I did replace the batteries to make sure that was not the culprit). Eventually, the heart rate monitor functionality stopped working entirely.
- The only thing I like about the Suunto is the interface for setting and reading heart rate zones.
- Overall, I was so disappointed by the overall design of the product that I did not want to replace it with a new Suunto (the watch broke during the warranty time). I bought a Polar heart rate monitor instead and I just love it.
