TomTom - Multi-Sport GPS Watch + Heart Rate Monitor - Dark Gray

Make sure that you are not expecting the cadence/speed sensors with this product. Even though it is pictured in the product images it does not come with the product. If you call into Best Buy they will give you the run around and then tell you that those images are not important.

I bought this watch to use cycling and running. It broke the first day I used it while biking. The bike strap snapped off the handle bars and the watch hit the pavement and the screen cracked. I brought it back to best buy and was told if I didn't buy their waranty that they couldn't do anything about it. Now I've been dealing with TomTom and it's been well over a month and I still don't have the replacement!

When I first began looking for a fitness watch, I looked at Fitbit products, as most of my friends and family have them. I waited, sure that the Charge HR would be what I wanted. After it launched, I wasn’t so sure. I started to look at Garmin, Peak, Jawbone, Adidas, and spent a tiny bit of time looking at Microsoft and Apple. I quickly realized that no product was perfect. Many would be too large on my wrist. I almost went for the Garmin Vivosmart. In the end I decided on the TomTom and am glad I did because - the size is great and very comfortable - simple to operate with a button rather than touch screen - includes a bike mount (better than on my wrist when riding) - the GPS usually picks up my location extremely fast I really didn’t want a device to wear all the time, only during exercise. I really like the variety of views that can show on the screen while I’m exercising. I find the option to race my previous times particularly exhilarating and really like how it is displayed on the screen. The two modes I use most are Run and Cycle. The recently added Freestyle is nice to record walks or any activity you don’t want counting towards your stats in the other modes. I can’t comment on Treadmill or Swim since I have yet to try them. The watch definitely isn’t perfect, and I would like to see the addition of an indoor cycling mode, making use of a speed/cadence sensor instead of GPS. The watch is great outdoors, but isn’t useful for spinning. If TomTom added an indoor cycling mode, this watch would get 5 stars from me. The TomTom MySports website leaves a lot to be desired, but you can easily sync with other popular fitness sites. I am happy with my purchase and feel it will last a few years until the technology of these devices advances more, causing me to want an upgrade.

I bought this watch as it was the closest thing to replace my Motorola ACTV that is no longer supported. I will start by saying so far the only let down is the website, albeit they list it still in Beta and I am sure that new features will be added shortly. With that said, the watch itself is a solid build and feels comfortable when wearing. They offer replacements bands as the watch, and control unit slip out of the band for easy adaption to the included bike mount or to charge on the included desktop sync cable. The menu system is easy to navigate and initial setup was a breeze to go through without even using the manual. When it comes to working out, the watch shines there as well. My initial GPS lock was within 10 seconds and since then I have had a few workouts and it seems like an almost instant fix on the GPS signal. A potential flaw for those wearing bulk clothing, to "pause" the workout you simply press left on the control, press again and the workout is concluded. I can see how this could easily be pressed accidentally while under clothing. For functionality my unit came with the TOMTOM heart rate monitor, however I was able to pair it to my existing Blue Wahoo HR that has bluetooth smart. I was also amazed that it picked up my speed/cadence bluetooth kit for my bike from the same company. There is zero configuration required, you simply go to the bike/run menu and turn on sensor support. It found them both immediately and I had no dropouts for the workouts. Now the only thing preventing me from giving this a perfect "5" review is the backend that TOMTOM currently has. The watch uploads the workout data to their proprietary website MySports, however it is very limited in functionality at this time. They promise new features and functions soon, I will amend my review when this happens. In the mean time it also offers auto sync to MapMyFitness and you can download the data in multiple formats to manually share as well. One last plus, is that the watch and TOMTOM software support firmware upgrades which will add future functionality and support to the watch itself. Bottom Line...a must buy for someone looking for an "all in one" activity tracker/monitor.

This is a great watch which has all the major features I looked for. I love the integration with MapMyFitness. Super easy to use and set up. The price made it worth the jump. About $150 cheaper than similar watches from other companies. My only issues are that the watch has too many quirks for the price. For $250 to $300 I expect it to be flawless. The watch can freeze when uploading bluetooth phone. The data will still be there for a connected upload or charging. There is no reset button so it stays frozen. The device will turn off at times and can't be turned on. When you plug it in, it will turn on again and indicate a full charge. And when frozen you have to setup the date time, etc. Good news is that all workout data is still there. Not a show stopper for me, but annoying. At least resetting it is quick.

I got this watch because my other heart rate monitor wasn't working well in the pool. This watch is sport specific and is great because it tracks swimming, biking, and running. The ONLY thing I do not like about this product is that I can't use it as just a heart rate monitor while I am on my stationary (spin) bike. I tried just putting it on the treadmill setting, but after riding for 45 minutes, it said I had burned 25 calories... Other than that little problem- Love the watch. Another bonus- It has a great alarm feature- it actually vibrates on your arm! Wakes me up every morning!

I really like the slim fit and form factor of this watch and while the latest firmware update (1.3.1) did fix some bugs it's still lacking features such as run intervals, auto pause, custom workouts and the ability to use zones and goals at the same time (i.e. run x pace for x miles). Also the treadmill and swim mode can be inaccurate even with the latest firmware update.

I had looked into many fitness watches trying to determine which one would be the best choice for me. I like to participate in a large range of activities and wanted to achieve a different goal than what most brands focus on. I wanted to be able to track how far I travel. I run, bike, and swim and wanted to be able to improve my endurance. This watch is just what I needed. When I run I am able to determine my distance without guessing or being forced to run the same path. It also has different settings if you wanted to break down your lap pace, or speed. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. The only draw back is when I first turn the GPS on it takes a few minutes to locate me, so all I do is turn it on when I start to get ready and by the time I am ready to go so is the watch.
