SUUNTO Mini Foot Pod

I'm flagging this as 1 star purely because when it arrived it simply would not pair with my Ambit 2S no matter how much waving around I did to activate it.In the end one of the other 1 star reviews mentioned theirs had shipped with a flat battery so I ordered a replacement battery which I've just fitted and it's paired straight away.Not sure how common this issue is but while the replacement battery was only a couple of pounds it's annoying trying to find any help on the Suunto site about why it won't pair (there isn't any) and that having to put a new battery in is evidently not a one off issue.I don't know how the pod itself works, I'm sure it's fine but just wanted to flag up the battery issue in case another buyer finds theirs won't pair when it arrives.

i was a little annoyed...at myself for not reading up on this enough and just ordering, as I wanted the GPS that overlays your runs on a map. This doesn't and I should have bought the other pod, my mistake.However, this has been very good for tracking time, speed and distance together with the heart rate belt, so tracking all events in Suunto's MovesCount is straight forward. It's simple to secure on your shoelace and although I've not used it for any rocky fell running yet, where it could possibly take a knock to displace it, it's remained very secure on my shoes.Good piece of kit if you want to track your time, speed and distance against your heart rate, energy burn and overall endurance.

links to the watch with ease , i have Nike and Adidas running shoe's and the podfits neatly into the pocket of the sole in both makes of shoes which is a big plus.AS FOR ACCURACY, the tread mill said i ran 10k and the watch said 12k .It tells you the distance average speed and cadence. I would say at £60 its a bit steep but if you want some extra motivation in your work out its a handy thing to have.

ideal for treadmill training. i run the same route GPS and marking it on google maps show 5.03 mile, even after calibrating it twice the distance ranges from 5.02 down to 4.93. i put this down to varying foot stride when running up hill and down hills. on the treadmill very accurate. in use you do not feel it on you shoe. overall glad i purchased it. very good service from the seller.

I have a Suunto 5, according to the information I found it should pair. No luck, tried new battery, tried reversing polarity, followed all recommendations on help sites & Suunto site. Does not work. Wasted my money

Try to connect it to the watch and it failed.Put new batteries in, Did not help.

Could not get the footpod to pair with my Garmin Instinct. But after reading some other reviews changed the battery and it paired. Disappointed that it was shipped with a flat battery.

It didn’t connect to the Suunto 9
