TomTom Sports GPS Runner GPS Watch - Grey

Product Information

Once you’ve selected an activity and turned off or set your activity goals, pressing GO starts the activity. You can also geta cadence / speed sensor pack which lets you connect to seehow fast you are spinning your legs as well as identify speed properly on the indoor bike activity. I could guess the reason but, let’s face it, manuals are not interesting and neither are my thoughts on manual naming conventions. It’s mostly because the Activité Pop has more standard watch face than a power-hogging AMOLED colour display that’s always on.

If sleep data is something you’re a bit obsessive about, you’ll find that you get much more useful information from the Peak than from just about any other wrist-worn wearable. And while there’s no onboard GPS, it can work with your smartphone’s GPS for totally accurate distance details. The reason it’s able to track continuously is down to the inclusion of a dedicated accelerometer that prevents the reading from being interrupted when you move or run.

As well as these daily features, it will monitor your activity while sleeping and count the number of hours you sleep. On top of all that, it has a high-resolution colour display, it’s easy to use, and it’s comfortable to wear. In addition to that, the Swim can also track your time, distance, lap segment time, and pace, and it can tell you your SWOLF score, or your overall swimming efficiency. We tested it over the course of a few months while also using the Polar RC3, a smartphone tracking app Endomondo and the older Garmin 610 Forerunner.

It now comes in red on black or red on white models, moving away from the more conservative colours that the Runner is available in. And, its smart coaching feature learns your activity patterns and preferences to keep you motivated and keep you fit. What the Vivofit 2 offers that its older brother does not is a more secure clasp, a better selection of colours, a backlight on the display for better readability in low light, and a move beeper, an activity timer. Yes, it tracks activity and sleep, but it does so with an onboard GPS, three-axis accelerometer, gyrometer, and sensors for both skin temperature and skin response. From TomTom: “So finding your way back to start involves either retracing your snail trail, or else using the graphic of current heading and current position relative to start point to find it as the crow flies.Still, it’s got a heart rate monitor, a stunning array of performance features, and all day tracking capabilities. This isn’t just distance travelled or steps taken — this is cadence and contact time, stroke identification and count, drill logging and recovery advising.
