I did a lot of research on these watches/computers and glad i got the suunto. you wont find much documentation on the website and not much comes with the watch but you really dont need it. All you need is some time to mess around with the menu and if you join a free forum like movescount you will get all the information you really need on it.
The watch is light weight durable keeps more stats than the average person really needs and is reasonably accurate. I dont regret the decision to purchase the watch or foot pod; would do it again in a heartbeat and am considering giving them as gifts.
Things i don't like when in a training program the backlight is useless. It lights up and you can read it but it flashes; i cant read a small flashing screen when i'm running in the dark. The PC connection cable and terminals are archaic. three recessed brass terminals on the watch and 3 brass pogo jumpers on a clip after drenching the whole thing in sweat and grime it takes a few tries to get it link up and download. i would have expected some sort of BT sync or something more advanced given how great the watch is.
again the watch is more than most people would need -more than i need - but the HR band is very comfortable and the watch does it all and is comfortable to use and wear.
UPDATE:
I have had this watch/belt/foot pod for over a year and use them to run at least 3 times (5hrs) a week. So far the watch is great. I have no regrets and would buy this again. Belt and foot pod take little/no time to setup calibration is also simple. Once setup I found them to be reliable and accurate. The watch is easy to use and easy to read when running; I especially liked the setup of custom displays. The watch is extremely comfortable and does not slide around. The HR belt is also very comfortable I forget it's on most of the time.
I find the Suunto watch/software to be useful. It tells me all sorts of stuff HR pace averages altitude temp distance training effect lap times time kCals ...etc. Suunto's MovesCount website keeps the logs and training statistics online which is nice. Best of all the sync software is MAC/PC compatible.
The only annoyances i have with this watch are the backlight is non really useful and the audible alarms are faint. The sync cable can be annoying. The foot pod is light and constantly accurate but the mounting clip is slightly wider than i would like for my shoe.
