TomTom Spark Cardio + Music: rock out as you work out

 

TomTom had movement sorted with the Multisport Cardio, now it wants to add music

Slim for a running watch ; Fast pulse detection ; Handy 3GB music player

TomTom Spark Music + Cardio review

 

Multi-sport magician or a confused cardio companion?

Properly powerful sports sensing ; Sounds and situation, without a smartphone ; All day tracking on tap ; Reliable location lock-on with QuickGPS

Divisive design ; Battery can disappear fast with GPS tracking ; Heart-rate tracking is way off ; Bluetooth signal susceptible to breaking up

A tracking ticker with promise that tries to be both sports sensor and all-day assistant – and fails at both

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music review: All the fitness features you need

 

A fantastic fitness watch for all types of sports: it's flexible, easy to use and packed with features

The TomTom Spark might lack the advanced data more expensive running watches such as the Garmin Forerunner 630 offer – you don’t get running cadence stats, for instance, or useful information about your running style and form, which can be useful in...

Review: TomTom sabotages Spark’s fantastic fitness watch features with bad design

 

Activity trackers are getting smaller and more stylish so you can wear them all day every day without your wrist becoming the center of attention. TomTom, maker of popular in-car navigation products, has taken the exact opposite approach with its line...

Accurate heart rate monitoring ; 3GB of local music storage for up to 500 songs ; GPS maps routes without a phone

Bulky hardware fits awkwardly on smaller wrists ; Adding music is a cumbersome process ; Touchpad navigation is difficult while running

TomTom put GPS, heart rate monitoring, and 3GB of on-board music storage in one clunky fitness watch.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music

 

The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music fitness tracker offers GPS tracking, an accurate heart rate sensor, and onboard storage for tunes, making it a solid workout companion for music-minded fitness buffs.

Plays music without your phone. Tracks bicycling, running, sleeping, swimming, walking. Accurate heart rate monitor. Large display. Good battery life. Lightweight. Waterproof.

Dull design. Limited app. GPS takes a while to lock on. Adding music is cumbersome.

Conclusions The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music fitness tracker is a good choice for music-minded fitness buffs, and its waterproof design makes it safe for swimmers. But $250 is a lot to spend on a fitness tracker (especially when there are very solid...

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music review: Leave your smartphone home

 

TomTom announced the Spark series of watches which had the added functionality of storing music on your watch to listen to while on your run, instead of lugging around your smartphone or portable media player for the same task.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Review

 

Face it; we all love gadgets. I love them more than most. I have been running a lot lately, training, competing, etc. While running with my phone is an option for training; running long distances with my phone isn't. Additionally, running through the...
