Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
Rating: - Great addition to T6
I have had my foot pod for a little over a month now and have enjoyed it.I have not had any problems connecting it with the T6 (yet!).It IS a little confusing at first to figure out how to calibrate it, but once that is done you never have to do it again.It fits nicely on the shoelaces, but sometimes slips off to the side (it is not as accurate if it is not level and pointing straight ahead), but it has not posed much of a problem for me; however, I am not a "serious" runner, only recreational!
Rating: 
- Very exact
After some adjustments running different distances on a 400 m track I was running 21100m and the difference was 10 meters, nothing actually.
Rating: 
- Good for short distances, but calibration problems were evident during a marathon
At first I was pleased with the foot pod, it is very light and easy to run with. However, when running on a track, I tried to calibrate the unit to a precise 1.0 mile. The setting wouldn't save properly and kept changing to either 1.1 or 0.9 and didn't seem to have systematic reason why. To be safe on my pacing, I set the unit to 0.9 and trained with it for 5-10 miles run satisfactorily for a few weeks.
During a marathon, I tried to keep my pace based on the footpod reading. After mile 10 ... Read More
Rating: - Great Product
Purchased the foot pod as part of the Duathlon set for the T6.It's a really great training tool, but you need to understand what you are getting and not get totally caught up in the "accuracy" factor
PROS - much lighter than it looks - really don't notice it on your shoe.Easy to clip on your laces.It works - the ANT transmission is really reliable.It lets you run anywhere and gives you a pretty accurate record of how far and how fast you ran.It's very accurate out of the box and ... Read More
Rating: - Works as advertised
The Suunto footpod works as advertised. Once you calibrate it according to your running/walking stride it is dead on. I calibrated it at a track by running 800 meters. If you if have the Suunto T6 and want to be able to track your distance and your pace speed get it.
