I have a Suunto X3HR (the Autumn 2005 all black model) and have had no problems with it at all. The heart rate monitor was designed by Polar and is as good as similar models in that brand, except that the battery in the Suunto transmitter can be replaced, while in the Polar brands it cannot. I also appreciate that the back of the Suunto is plastic rather than metal, which sometimes causes allergic reactions in warm weather. The altimeter is no better or worse than any similar model/manufacturer; they all need frequent resetting with pressure change. In the X3HR this can be done very easily and quickly compared to some other wrist-tops I looked at. I wish Suunto provided a silicone face-protector for this as they do for their dive computers though... All in all, excellently priced for the features.
