Hello! It's Coach Tief. I'm here for tips4running.com with the Suunto M5. This is the heart rate
monitor strap, which has to go right around my chest. I'll show you in just a minute how
it goes. But, once this is on my chest, the watch automatically recognizes it and shows
me my heart rate. Alright, so Coach Tief. What are your first impressions of the Suunto?
I can get it on my wrist. It's not too big. Well, I thought it was much lighter. It is
much lighter than some of the other… The other GPS watches. Yeah, the GPS Watch. Um,
alright, the heart rate monitor strap. You just want to see my belly. Yeah. Like this?
Now put it right below, right where your ribs meet you know like, yeah, right there. Okay.
First press the top button, the triangle. Alright. Now push the middle button. For exercise?
Yes. Then, it will find your heart rate. Just recognized your heart rate. It's not started
yet, so hit the top button again. When I'm ready to go? Yeah. BEEBEBEEP Go ahead. The
time's below it? The time's below it. The heart rate is on top. How's the heart rate
strap feel? So what did you like or not like about the watch. Umm, I liked the watch. It
was lighter than some of the watches I've worn. And, the heart rate monitor isn't as
heavy, so that felt, you know I got used to it there. Could you see your heart rate pretty
good when you were running. Yeah. That's the biggest thing, I could see my heart rate real
well, and the time's a little smaller but I could still see it. Push the top one. Started
it. BEEBEBEEP. Yeah! Bye! So, I'm running pretty quick. Let me get the heart rate up,
See that? Now I'm walking just a second. Watch it go down. Oh, by the way, do you want to
see my friend? I have a friend that lives around here. Let me show you him. Where are
you? That's the great horned owl. Hey buddy. Okay, I got to go. I want to show you a few
things. While you are running, you can ahh, change your view. Normally, it just shows
the heart rate and then how far along you've been running. If you press the button, you
can just watch the time go by instead of just staring at your heart rate. Or you can press
it again and see what your average is. Press it again, it tells you how many calories you've
burned based on your current weight, and your heart rate. Press it again, it goes back to
like the time of the day, not the time you've been running. Press it again, and it's back
to how much you've been running. So there's a lot of options, for what you want to see.
Preference is up to you. I like this one. Alright. Let'*** the roads. You see how
my heart rate went down because I stopped running. That's what happens. You've got to
be pushing it! There's somebody, somebody and their dog. See them? I'm going to chase
them down. What's my heart rate? Okay. 167. Let's see what it is after I chase them down.
Does this look like a stalker video? Because it feels like one. Yeah. 180. I passed the
dog runner. Okay, I've got one more big hill right there. Get on my toes. Drive the arms
except for the one that's holding the camera. Check out that heart rate. Whoa. Pushing it.
Alright, easy jog in. I'm done. This is the stop button. Hit on the top. You hit it. It
asks if you want to stop and I say yes I am done. Ahh, summary. 8 18 blah blah blah. There.
There 26 minutes 43 seconds. I burned that many calories. I averaged heart rate of 161.
Ohh I got to 190. You know this man. And then I can run 12 hours later in the middle of
the night when I'm totally tired. Laughs. And there you go, that's it. The following
pictures are from movescount.com. This is where you can store Suunto information if
you have a pod, but that does not come with the M5 just so you know. Here's a couple of
the things that I really liked. If you will. The M5 Pros. It's a nice heart rate monitor
watch that stores your exercise information, and the heart rate strap is very comfortable.
Some of the things that weren't the best was the set up was a little complicated, and I
think I kind of messed up. Um, the pod doesn't come with the watch. It's kind of expensive.
It's just under 200 dollars for this M5 watch. One more thing. Make sure you get the version
I showed you because the all black version I heard is hard to read. See ya.
