Suunto T1 Heart Rate Monitor: Discontinued—Where to Find Used Units

The Suunto T1 heart rate monitor has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It is no longer sold new through official channels.

Finding a Used/Refurbished Unit

• eBay: Most consistent source; filter "Used" or "Refurbished"; check seller ratings.
• Amazon (Third-party): Occasionally listed; verify condition/warranty.
• Specialty forums: Runner/triathlete communities (Slowtwitch, Reddit r/running, DC Rainmaker forum).
• Local: Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, bike/run shop consignment.

Considerations

• Battery: User-replaceable CR2032 (transmitter) + watch battery.
• Compatibility: Analog coded transmission (5 kHz)—works with most gym equipment, not Bluetooth/ANT+.
• Age: Units 15+ years old; strap elasticity, electrode corrosion common.
• Alternatives: Modern Bluetooth/ANT+ straps (Polar H10, Garmin HRM-Pro, Wahoo TICKR) offer better connectivity, accuracy, app integration.

Unless for collection, a current-model chest strap is a better investment.
