I like it: it's small, and the sensor component isn't glued to the strap component so there's less waste. Its memory function only works with Suuntos, and at least this summer, doesn't even work with them, so couldn't recommend it for anything more than live HR monitoring.
The real tragedy is their failure to capitalise on their Movesense product, which is essentially the same form factor, but has accelerometers and magnometers so could deliver running dynamics and support inertial navigation in an interesting way.
What do you think of Suunto's own HRM strap - Smart sensor or what they call it?
