Have you had experience with Suunto?

Hey there, Is it hard to look at the time usually because of its lack of backlight? Also with the chest strap, do you just wear it or do you have to wet it first like the polar one in order for it to recognize your heart beat? And can you put it in the washing machine?

Hmm yeah, Suunto also has a 1 or 2 year warranty too im pretty sure! The only reason why I would go for the Suunto is for its looks aha but the Polar really seems like a good option right now.. Thanks for your opinion!

Oh cool! yeah buying directly from the website is not the greatest place as they charge you full price haha

Ahh, I still cant decide! I need more input guys!

Finally someone with the Suunto M1 watch! Is it hard to look at the time usually because of its lack of backlight? Also with the chest strap, do you just wear it or do you have to wet it first like the polar one in order for it to recognize your heart beat? And can you put it in the washing machine? I appreciate your…

Thanks for that! I live in Australia and its about $80 incl shipping so its not too bad haha

But I really love the design on the Suunto M1!! It looks so good compared to the polar FT4 which looks really outdated haha ahh decisions, decisions!

Oh really? What made you choose the Polar FT4?
