Here's what other sites are saying:
From OEGear.com:
"Heart rate monitors are essential training tools for competitive trail running or Nordic skiing in the mountains, but many models offer basic chronographic designs that ignore critical data like an altimeter to measure vertical gain. The award-winning Suunto X6HR features an altimeter, compass and graphic barometer that measures the impact and effectiveness of your workouts by comparing altitude and heart rate performance throughout all of your training routes. By downloading your logbook to your Suunto Activity Manager PC software you can optimize your workouts and maintain an electronic training diary. Onboard alarms alert you to heart rate limits, altitude goals and even incoming storms. The compass and altimeter can also assist you in navigation, especially in dark or foggy conditions. Strive to aim high without missing a beat--the X6HR is the essential timepiece and training tool for all outdoor and endurance specialists."

First of all, the buttons are too hard to press, which forces you to look at the watch and mash the buttons hard to change functions."
