Altimeter, Heart Rate Monitor |
Reviews
| toprope_media | Untitled Review | | Voted 5/5 | The SUUNTO Advizor is a great piece of equiptment that goes a step further than the average altimeter. The Advizor is ideal for mountian atheletes that require a heart rate monitor (the most accurate I have ever used.)
Although the instruction book is a bit hard to follow, if you contact a SUUNTO dealer, they can provide you with a packet that was written in english, not translated.
Don't get the Advizor if you have no need to track altitude, rate of ascent/decent and your heart rate.
Get it if you are a statistic freak that cares about your numbers and needs an accurate assesment of direction, altitude, bar. pressure and pulse.
I would recommend this wristtop computer to anyone. Great value and a lot tougher than it looks.

Could be temperature issue - it was warm at car but snowing and blowing at summit. Easy to calibrate. Controls easy to operate, functions easy to find. I use it to navigate - can't say better than that. | | Posted Sep 29, 2002 10:54 am |

Voted 4/5 | As far as features go, this gadget has them all and they all work pretty reliably. However, in terms of usablity, I find the interface to be overly complex and not always consistant. Sometimes you single click to enable a feature, sometimes you hold the button for two seconds.... If you really want to use all the features you have to keep the
cheat sheet handy, or have a much better memory than
me.
The only real "missing" feature is that you can't check an altitude log in progress (ie. how many runs have I skiied so far today.) You have to stop the log to see any results. | | Posted Aug 26, 2003 11:48 am |

Voted 5/5 | All the same great features as my Vector with the added heartrate monitor. There are alot of functions but with a little practice and study you will learn the ones you need and forget the rest.
It also is as accurate as any I've used.
One great feature is that the chest strap is made by Polar and is compatible with most healthclub cardio machines. The machines will automatically read and display your heartrate while working out and wearing the chest strap. | | Posted Nov 29, 2005 8:05 pm |
