Thanks ya'll. I've been wetting the heck out of it and I guess I'll try the hair gel. It does seem to kick in or work better once I've been training for about 10-15 minutes and my heart is really pumping then when I slow down it loses contact again. ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:50:38 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2237&PID=10738#10738 Software : New SUUNTO user...

Hi Erik,

You are correct... i purchased Windows7. I was advised that it would work the same as XP providing i do the update after installation. That should have brought it up to speed was the advice. Bloody frustrating as i am yet to get any data out of my watch.

Thanks for your feedback.]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:22:15 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2247&PID=10737#10737 Suunto t6 / t6c : Watch EPOC vs. Training Manager http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2265&PID=10736#10736 Author: Eddie Fletcher

Even when you have an exact match there may be differences the watch is not as powerful as the software - always take the software readings but do check your Personal settings - difference can be as much as 20%]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:24:35 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2265&PID=10736#10736 Software : New SUUNTO user...

Hi,

I am also frustrated by the lack of Mac support and would like to see native Mac apps from Suunto and Firstbeat.

I am able however to run Suunto Training Manager as well as Firstbeat Athlete on my mac. It works both with Parallels 5 and VMware 3 running Windows XP. No problem.

Which version of Windows did you install? I'm not sure if Suunto Training Manager compatible with Win7?

Regards,
Erik. ]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:41:37 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2247&PID=10735#10735 Suunto t6 / t6c : wrong temperature and pressure http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2223&PID=10734#10734 Author: esoxluzius

Hi, i purchased VMware for my Mac and purchased Windows. Sad to say that it still doesn't work and all the team at Mac1 (apple dealer) could not get it to work. Suunto responded to my request for help and said; "SUUNTO does not run on Mac or on a Mac running windows". Can you believe a running watch of this calibre cannot run on an every day system such as Mac? Put simply..... don't by SUUNTO.

I am in the process of arguing with the dealer on it's lack of information relating to the major Mac issues and attempting to get a refund. I spent over A$400 trying to get it to run with no luck.

I have been advised to try BootCamp, but fear it's all too hard and would prefer to start over with another brand of running watch.

Any feedback on other brands is appreciated people!]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 06:01:41 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2247&PID=10733#10733 Software : New SUUNTO user...

i don't have a suunto yet but am looking at the T6c. I am exclusively on a Mac and the lack of support concerns and frustrates me too! I just started using Training Peaks, which works fine on a Mac. The T6c is compatible with TP, so I'm hoping I can import the info into TP and get most of my data that way.

Last resort would be to put Parallels or similar on my machine and use Windows. but ick, that is really not pmy preference.]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 03:48:10 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=2247&PID=10732#10732 Suunto t6 / t6c : T6c - Garmin 405 - RS800SD http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=1119&PID=10731#10731 Author: kxux

Since you are on Mac you will be best off with Garmin 310xt - not a watch, but very good training device. The 405 is probably not good since it lasts only 6-8 hours, 310xt has 15+ hours of recording with GPS on.

If you are OK to install Windows on your Mac in virtual environment you can look at Polar RS800cx as alternative.

Garmin does not record R-R so you will not get the EPOC/TE from your log, but you can determine it from average HR, but that is not as accurate as the beat-by-beat recording T6c or RS800cx offer.

I discovered that the digitalcompas signs are wrong.
clock wise is noth, west, south an east
 
. It should be
 
North, east, south west.
 
Are the wrong distination signs always like this on digital compas watches?
Even in the brochures it is wrong, also in the uses manuals. Why is this?
Can anyone give me an answer

It's been some time since this thread has been updated, but I have found it to be most useful in the never-ending T6c - 405 debate.

I wanted to know if anyone has new opinions now? Perhaps new versions of each have been released (like the 405cx), or if Polar's new 8000 is a big player.

I am primarily a trail runner, although I do some road/mtn cycling as well. On my wish list for a watch is: HRM, pace, distance, elevation gain, being able to see my routes on a map after. I am on a Mac OSX and have recently started using TrainingPeaks.

Thanks!]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:47:00 +0000 http://www.suuntosports.com/discussions/forum_posts.asp?TID=1119&PID=10729#10729
