TomTom Sports GPS Runner GPS Watch - Grey

Product Information

If you just wanted to record your HR when swimming I imagine you would get reasonable results by tricking the device and telling it that you are doing indoor running and then it would turn the oHRM on. the sports are a little more than just data screen eg skiing can auto-detect and action certain things such as showing your last runs summary data when you go up the next cable car. Once the device knows where you are it loads up satellites MUCH faster on subsequent occasions using its assisted-GPS (a-GPS) feature. While we'd like to see some better tools here for things like lap breakdowns, we expect it will get a lot of improvements when it comes out of beta.

The Garmin Forerunner 220 is a must-have sports watch for runners who are training for distance — and not just because of the GPS. If you’re anxious to get your hands on a new fitness tracker but don’t have much money to spend on one, you’re in luck: there are some models out there that do a lot without breaking the bank. If you’re an iOS user, you’re in luck: the new Nike+ Fuel app is a complete way to track all of your activity.The Surge is an exceptionally well-appointed fitness and health tracker and is perfect for more serious runners and for wearing all day.

The nature of sport watches is that many of them evolve over time via firmware updates and changes to the accompanying mobile apps and web apps. Instead, you’ll get a small tool to help you pry off the back and replace the battery — which, again, you’ll have to do once every eight months. If you think there’s benefits to training by heart rate but just hate chest straps then you’ll be excited by the good oHRM in the TomTom Runner 3/Spark 3.Finally there's Laps mode, which lets you set either automatic or manual laps taking into account time and distance. During an activity, if you have set targets, the watch will beep and buzz at relevant moments to keep you on track. You will not believe the amount of hours I have spent trying to get simple GPX/TCX files to work as a route on other ‘well known’ devices.
