Suunto makes a good, beefy watch. The T6, for example, has everything a potential exerciser could need—pedometer and bike speedometer—which requires a little pod for your shoes and bike, heartrate monitor, and PC syncing system for downloading your workout stats.

The watch costs about $300 and the additional lumpkins, including the foot pod and the bike pod, cost about $79 each. However, the wealth of information, including EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), respiration rate, and ventilation, are sure to be useful when we move from the couch to the fridge during a lull in American Idol action.
