I got my new Sunnto T6 today and took right out on a run on Mt Sanitas here in Boulder. I was very impressed. The software installed without a hitch and the watch worked flawlessly. Below is a what the graph looked like after I downloaded the data.

The so called Training Effect is a little bit of a mystery. Apparently I ‘Overreached” or “over trainied” today even though I didn’t really feel that that was the case. I attempted to stay my Zone 3 (70-80% of max heart rate 131-150 bpm) but that felt like I wasn’t really moving. I experimented with finding my true rather than calculated max heart rate, but that’s another article.
Anyways day one was
- 1 hr 26 min
- 4 miles
- 1263 feet of ascent
- Avg heart rate 154
- Max 183, Min 107
more to come…


Hi, Are you using the Sunnto T6 with MacOSX? If so, I’m thrilled, because I’ve been looking for a running watch/heart rate monitor with OSW connectivity. I’ve been looking at the T6 but didn’t think I worked with OSX? // T
Nom Mac OS X, bummer I know. Their software is one reason I still keep the PC around.
I compiled a GNU linux driver on mac, made GUI wrapper for it and packaged it in Mac OS X way. So some kind of support for mac is here. No analyzing (epoc etc) is provided by this software :(

The latest beta of iSMARTtrain has support for the T6 - http://www.ismarttrain.com/Beta/
