The Suunto X6 wrist-top computer/timepiece packs a lot of tools into a small device. It features an altimeter, barometer, digital compass, and clinometer (for measuring slope angle). It's also the perfect tool for any cross sport--such as mountaineering, hiking or cross-country skiing--as it records and stores performance data that can be downloaded to your Windows PC.

The accurate altimeter enables you to measure your vertical performance when jogging, hiking, biking or climbing. Well suited for fast sports, the Suunto X6's advanced timing functions enable you to record virtually an unlimited number of lap and split times of your activity. The chronometer records accurate altitude profiles with 10- or 60-second intervals for up to 200 hours. The adjustable alarm works as an interval reminder, for instance, to remind you of regular hydration during your adventure or extended workout session.

The Suunto X6 comes packed with solutions enabling safe and responsible hiking. You can use the alarm functions to alert you at certain altitudes, help maintain safe climbing speed on the mountains, or indicate an upcoming storm. You will be much better off using the compass and altimeter if caught in bad weather. The compass also guides you back when running in an unknown place or just strolling around in a foreign city.

The Suunto X6 is water resistant, tested to 100 meters/330 feet according to ISO 2281 standard, which means you can use it for swimming or other water sports activities--but it should not be used for scuba diving or freediving.

The Logbook feature allows you to save information regarding, for example, a hiking trip. When you start the logbook, it starts gathering information about the cumulative ascents and descents, average ascent and descent rates, highest and lowest points and specific marks you can set during the trip. When you stop the logbook, the information gathered thus far is recorded as a logbook file that can be viewed later. The maximum duration of one logbook is 168 hours (one week). The Suunto X6 can store 20 logbook files at one time.

The Suunto Activity Manager (SAM) is software that enables deeper understanding and better graphical representation of the data recorded and stored by Suunto X6HRM. With SAM you can visualize the altitude and heart rate profiles for your routes, analyze and plan your training, and keep a training diary. You can also create your own activity reports by adding photos and text to the profiles.
