Bought this over another Fitbit because of the recommendation of the people at Spartan. Has served me well until the last race. Watch died at the 2 hour mark when I had started with it fully charged.

This thing has taken a beating, and keeps coming back for more. Made it through a Spartan Race and has done its job perfectly. Has been easy to use.
Very happy with this purchase.

I read a lot of good reviews about this watch which is what prompted me to buy it. I tried running with it and it was comfortable and mostly intuitive, except for pairing the headphones. Pairing the headphones was unnecessarily complicated, plus the the Bluetooth wasn't that strong. I had to wear the watch on a my wrist closest to the headphone Bluetooth receiver to get the devices to maintain connection. I ended up bringing it back because I'm not going to use a watch until the bluetooth connectivity is fixed. Otherwise, it's everything I had wanted.

As good as most GPS watches in this range. But screen seems a generation or two old compared to many other models.

Screen could use an upgrade also for sure. It is 2016 so lets make sure we put some color on the screen or at least some more modern tech.

Big and readable. But too Big?

Easy to set up and sync. Easy to see when active. But it feels and looks bigger than I like. Returned it for a slimmer FitBit.

Hi there! Sorry to hear you are not a fan of the shape and size of the Spark. I understand you have returned the product now, but for anyone else reading this we do have an alternative, thinner activity band we call the The Touch. On sale here: http://bit.ly/2oqV4JK.

Does a good job of registering heart rate, gps sometimes takes a long time to gain signal, gps ineffective when swimming.

I originally had a Garmin watch that I was using for fitness related activities but changed over to the TomTom. The garmin was nicer as far as comfort and features are concerned but this watch is built like a tank. I've done OCR races, rucking, a multitude of workouts and this thing performs 100% of the time. The Garmin was nice but as far as functionality is concerned the TomTom cannot be beat. Plus I've added around 100 songs and it hasn't even put a dent into the memory. This thing is great!

I've been running for about 7 months now, I used my Ipod Nano to track my runs using Nike+ for about 6 months. I got tired of having to calibrate my runs after each run and sometimes my Nano would simply reset. So I looked into most watches, but I hate having a phone on me when I run much less anything outside of my car's remote! I came across this bad boy, It met all my needs, GPS, Music, Heart Rate, Steps, heck it even has sleep tracking. I have yet to have any issues with this watch, It also sync's perfectly to Nike+ which was one of the big selling points for me. My only issue is I can't find a screen protector for it, I'm not saying the screen scratches easy however I do find that I can be a bit rough, my phone screen is cracked and my glasses are a bit beat! But at this point that's just being picky to be picky. This has turned out to be the best purchase I made in 2015.
