  • The watch arrive pretty fast, the watch has a very cool features, I recommend it.
  • Also, missing some critical features for a fitness tracker, like a timer!Great accuracy with GPS for running, tracking splits, stats, etc
  • Overall its a nice fitness watch, with great features but the best features kill the battery life
  • This watch has many great features, but it makes an audible rattling noise which is irritating
  • If this feature is the most important feature for you, then perhaps this is the watch for you.

Reviews around interface (4.56 of 5)

  • When the second version was just as noisy as the first I returned it and exchanged it for a Garmin -- which is silent
  • Very easy interface - even without instructions - and is easy to figure out
  • The watch is easy to use, to set up, and the interface is great
  • I just find the interface more responsive and intuitive
  • The Tom Tom Sports Connect is a very easy interface and it connected with Endomondo Premium which I have been using for over six years now like it was nothing

Reviews around way (4.26 of 5)

  • The band, however, has already cracked and broken all the way in just 3 months.
  • I wish it tracked better for strength training, could be completely managed by the smartphone app and had a more intuitive way to sync music, but otherwise it works very well.
  • I love the silent alarm on it as I've wanted a silent way to wake up for a long time.
  • There is no secure way in which to ensure the band stays clipped together.
  • I love the way it fits and the larger, improved, display

Reviews around price (4.16 of 5)

  • Not worth the price.
  • The Runner had everything I needed and at a really good price point
  • I only gave 3 stars because the gps and heartrate monitor works well, but these are offered by other manufacturers at a better price.
  • When the second version was just as noisy as the first I returned it and exchanged it for a Garmin -- which is silent
  • Pros: Price (~$150), GPS and music capability, directional controllerCons: Inability to sync with Google Fit/Apple Health, Music UX - loading music and changing playlistsI felt I had found my holy grail of sports watches - GPS, music, and step counter

Reviews around app (3.97 of 5)

  • Highly recommended - would have been five stars had the app been as good from the start, but no issues with the watch!
  • you get endomondo built into your phone as a free app or small subscription fee, plus can add a hr monitor for less than a separate watch.-
  • Nice to know their warranty was good!!Phone app now working better, but still not perfectly.
  • , the compass is accurate, the app is straightforward and easy to use, and the watch controls are easy to use

Reviews around gps (3.83 of 5)

  • I run ultramarathons and marathons and my TomTom is an excellent GPS watch, but it's always had a few quirks.
  • Great GPS watch, I use it to track my bike commute, (~14 km) and on the weekends
  • I leave the rating at 5 starts since I still think it is a great GPS watch
  • GPS seems to work well, and interface/info after a run is great.
  • and I like the gps even though its slow to acquire the satellite.

Reviews around run (3.81 of 5)

  • I in general don't find watches super comfortable, but don't have any complaints with the comfort of it on a daily basis or while running.
  • Windows app is actually pretty good; satisfies all my running nerdiness.
  • GPS seems to work well, and interface/info after a run is great.
  • If you don't have any, be prepared to spend more money on pair that doesn't get spotty while running (this is the boat I'm in)
  • The more significant downside to this is that if you do use pace to moderate your running speed you risk overdoing it as the watch makes you believe you run too slower than you can/should

  • When the second version was just as noisy as the first I returned it and exchanged it for a Garmin -- which is silent
  • I will give a more accurate review later after I have had the watch a

Reviews around product (3.53 of 5)

  • So, yeah, if this upsets you - definitely skip this product
  • Great product but the battery life is not to impressive.
  • But honestly, it feels like this would have been a great product in 2013, but at this price point, it is competing with the Apple Watch
  • The company would not give me a refund after wasting my time on a bad product and customer support that required too much of my time
  • The product is good; but not smart enough to detect activities by itself

Reviews around device (3.53 of 5)

  • I can not get the device to recognize correctly and their website refuses to allow me even email technical support.
  • etc.- as a dedicated device, spark is much more expensive.
  • This is honestly a good device for exactly what it is- a fitness tracker
  • The device is comfortable and light making it very enjoyable to
  • I'm wary to wear any smart watch in the pool because it's designed to be more water resistant than water proof, and I just don't want to worry about a fancy electronic device being submerged for longer than its designed to

Reviews around strap (2.45 of 5)

  • 10 months into wearing it, the strap started tearing until it finally broke (see picture)

  • My older model included an optical sensor from Mio which is very highly regarded and I found to be just as accurate as the chest strap

Reviews around software problem (2.18 of 5)

  • TomTom support helped me resolve the software problem
  • Occasionally it doesn't get the connection as quick as you would like when you are running - not sure why
  • If you go online or on your phone to the "app" for it, it charts your heart rate on a graph throughout the day as well as during workouts
  • In speaking with TomTom support, they assured me that the problem is a software problem on their end
  • Evidently the software problem is a known item on which they are working to fix

Reviews around band (1.73 of 5)

  • Sometimes locating a new band is difficult, which renders the watch unusable.
  • Occasionally it doesn't get the connection as quick as you would like when you are running - not sure why

  • I have had it a bit over 7 months and the rubber bank that had calibrated sizing started losing its dividers--the first one broke off after 5 months--so the tom tom was either too loose or too tight.
