Summary: Great watch
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great simple watch
Comment: 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.

Summary: An Excellent HRM !!!
Comment: 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 !!

Summary: Good HR monitor, basic and elegant
Comment: 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.)

Summary: doesn't measure up
Comment: 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.
