What does the M5 do?

• Guided Exercise Program: Use your Suunto M5 as your very own personal trainer. To begin, set your personal exercise target for fitness improvement, weight management, or free training. Once your target is set and your fitness level is determined, the M5 will provide you with a daily workout schedule, show your progress with real-time guidance, and give you workout achievement summaries to help you achieve your goals.

• Fitness Test: For the most accurate guidance during exercise, use the M5 fitness test to determine your fitness level. The fitness test usually takes 10-30 minutes, depending on your walking speed, and can be used to not only determine your fitness level, but to monitor your progress as well.

• Heart Rate Monitor: The M5 comes with the Suunto Dual Comfort Heart Rate Belt so you can monitor your HR while you exercise. To ensure the most accurate reading of your HR, strap the HR belt to center of your chest and make sure the red arrow is pointing up. The Dual Comfort Belt is compatible with most cardio gym equipment and provides interference-free HR monitoring eliminating disturbances from power lines, and magnetic and electronic devices.

• Exercise Summary: After each time you exercise, you can view a summary of the percentage completed from the guided exercise; duration of the exercise; amount of calories burned; average HR; and peak HR. The M5 also shows how long it takes for you to fully recover and when you are ready for a full intensity workout, dependent on your own personal fitness level. If you choose to save the information, you can later review your History & Trend, which is an accumulation of all the saved information over the last 4 weeks, along with other information.

• Transfer Data to Movescount.com: With the addition of the Suunto Movestick you can upload your training data to Movescount.com. Movescount.com is a free online sports community designed to manage your "moves" or training logs, track your progress, and connect you with other fitness enthusiasts around the world. With the M5, you are also able to download any of the training programs from Movescount.com, using the Movestick.

• Track Speed & Distance: With the addition of the Suunto Foot POD, GPS POD, or Bike POD you can track your real-time speed and distance while running or biking. The Suunto PODs communicate wirelessly with your M5 heart rate monitor. ===Please Note: The M5 is NOT compatible with the Suunto Cadence POD.===

What is the difference between the M-Series and t-Series?

• The Suunto M-Series is more geared toward men and women who take part in recreational fitness, whereas the t-Series is designed for performance athletes. The M-Series is very simple in style and in its features with only with only 3 buttons and minimal functions. If you're simply looking to get active and improve your fitness level, the M-Series is the perfect tool to help you reach your goals. For experienced athletes looking to maximize their performance, the Suunto t-Series will provide optimum results.

Who is the Suunto M5 best for?
