TOCG9 1RKM.002.11 Tomtom Spark 3 Cardio + Music, GPS Fitness Watch + Heart Rate Monitor + 3GB Music + Bluetooth Headphones (Black, Small)

It is great! GPS works like it should, music also - it never breaks unlike when I use Runkeeper+music on mobile phone. It was a great deal and I recommend it to anyone who wants GPS + music! Bad thing is that when you want to sync with mobile phone it will work only if you have headphones connected to tomtom as well :D It is kind of unusual. But when I sync with computer, it works every time. Once again, GPS is great -it is found very quickly and is extremely accurate. Also, heart rate monitor is surprisingly accurate. Cool gadget! (I also have garmin vivosmart hr+ and samsung gear s2 but tomtom is the best of the 3 for running withouth a phone.)

I've been using this for my runs, gym workouts, hikes and swim. Battery life depends on how often you use the active activity tracking and HR. I like how the control is via a small square joy'stick' below the watch screen as it is easier to handle when sweaty. Watch interface is easy to navigate. It is easy to plug it into my laptop and copy in some music too. However, what irks me is the difficulty in creating playlists (the forum makes it sound easy but it's not) as the watch only recognises 1 or 2 specific formats. No problems pairing with the included headphone. Sound is ok if you're not picky; just be aware that you'll have free 'additional bass' (i.e. your heartbeat/ footsteps) with your music.The original strap is comfortable and easy to use. Love it that Tomtom provides 18 month complementary exchange for spoiled straps - something that I've done 1 time when my original strap broke. I'm wishing that this is free for life though, as a replacement strap that I bought separately is uncomfortable. Either this, or Tomtom makes the watch strap available more easily in more countries (at a reasonable price too, please).

I purchased this watch about 30 days ago.I seem to charge it twice a week due to my daily activities.Same with the earphones, they last me about 4-5 days before needing a charge.Works great with my music.It really is simple to use, which is why it probably doesn't come with a manual.This watch has all of the features I was wanting in a fitness watch.Some of my favorite features are:-GPS-built-in Heart Rate Monitor-Pedometer-Water Resistant to do swim workouts-Workout tracker-Counts calories-Music!!-and many more features!This watch is perfect for the fitness person who doesn't like having too many devices. I love that I don't need to carry my phone to track all of my fitness stats. I can workout in peace now with only my watch!

The idea of being able to download my music was a bonus, since they are not longer making ipods and I don't like to carry a bulky phone with me on my runs was the reason that I originally purchased this item. That idea was gone when I received the watch. It is really big and bulky and I ordered the small one. It wasn't comfortable to wear at all. I tried to look past this because again, the music was a good idea. I found that I could not. The buttons where hard to push, not easy to navigate while working out and back light was a continued issue. Had to send it back.

The software is horrible. Customer support is non-existent. I can not get the device to recognize correctly and their website refuses to allow me even email technical support. Definitely will not be buying another TomTom device ever.

Well this item was suposed to be a great help for my trainings but I haven't been abble to even used it once, because I found it hard to understand the instructions, there are all graphics, there was not user's mannual, I had to look for it on line and download it, but t's not clear enough, at least for me, at this moment I'm not abble to get it started for a run or to even just listen to the music. More than $200 wasted.

This watch does not sync every time, even if it’s plugged in to a computer. I waited a couple weeks and ran quite a few times in between, and it only uploaded a couple of my runs. Not sure what happened to the other data. I’ve been running with this for several months and still have the same problems- It takes forever to sync if it decides to sync at all, and some runs are missing. I tried all the suggestions by tomtom and it didn’t make a difference. I’m disappointed in tomtom.

I missed the window to return this but, if I hadn't, I would have sent it back for a refund. In short, the watch was easy to program and track steps but every time I went to use it to track running and swimming it would randomly stop tracking the workout and go back to the main screen. I tried numerous times to work with it but it kept happening. Now, it's just sitting on my desk unused which is a bummer because I heard so many great things about it.

2019 July update - watch is still working great after 2.5yr! Very happy with purchase. Hope TomTom will keep this watch in production.2019 Jan Update - watch has been going strong. Excellent customer service on the software update side. Once the watch was not working, they immediately sent me a label to send watch back to them for repair. Very happy with the watch and service. Highly recommended.Run, swim, heart rate and sleep tracking have been great. The MP3 function is excellent, do not have to run with a phone.Original review in 2017:Watch is working fine but the strap is defective, comes off easily.Update: Tomtom is sending me a replacement strap. Very happy with the service and watch itself.Can accurately measure swimming in pool and running. GPS is very good, fast to pick up signal in central London by the river.

excellent

Works well even in water

Excellent product

I have been using this since last 4 months now & it has met my expectations.Have used it for tracking my regular running progress and even used it in competitive events (2 half & 1 full marathon). It has been providing reliable measures of my performance, which is what I value the most. Here's my review of major areas of functionality-1. Features: Multi-sport functionality includes- Running, Treadmill, Swimming, Cycling (indoor & outdoors), Free-styling. Have tried all, performs best during running.2. Performance metrics: Speed, cadence & altitude measurements are accurate. Not sure about the calorie measures though as the same activity on Endomondo shows a different burnout. I guess it's all subjective anyway. Pedometer is as good as any other device.3. GPS accuracy: Fantastic! It generally takes about 5-10 secs to get connected. And it's spot on, even on hilly terrain.4. Battery life: Good enough for continuous tracking for 5 hours of running (with music), when fully charged.5. Heart Rate: Before buying it, I had concerns regarding its Heart Rate accuracy, but to my relief, the accuracy is great! You can customize the HR zones as per your requirement.6. Looks: I like the looks. It's essentially a big black rectangle on your wrist. But I don't care about the looks much, so don't go by my opinion on this aspect.7. Headphone: The headphones worked well only for 3 months. Later, sound from the right ear-piece stopped, rendering the set useless.8. Mobile App: The app is not the best, but all the basic features are available to comprehensively track your progress.So, all in all, it's good value for your money. I recommend it for amateur runners like me.
