Wearable tech is all the rage at the moment, particularly smartwatches. It's hardly a surprise, then, that plenty of manufacturers want a slice of the pie. But what makes TomTom - the company better known for its satnav devices - believe it has what it takes to create the sports watch that you'll...

Comfortable; plenty of options; open platform support for services like RunKeeper; good enough battery life; as a watch it's great

Need a computer (no app connection); need to connect every three days; no real control over historical activities; doesn't use screen real-estate to the fullest; needs a docking station to charge and connect; TomTom MySports is poor; limitations to Race mode

I had a Nike GPS watch for several years and I loved it. When I got this watch, at first sight, did not think much of it. I was wrong. It connects to the satellite quickly and uploads the information as soon as you connect it. Battery so far has had a very good life. It also charges quickly.

Does exactly what it says it does. It is comfortable, looks good, and just works. Wiggle servixe excellent as always.

Trying to use the device at an event, I was confronted with the message 'Storage Full'. It turns out that you need to plug your device into a computer to remove this "storage". I never wanted it to record my activity in any case.

TomTom's latest entry into what has become a busy sports GPS watch market is a slim-profile, proficient watch with a range of innovative features that set it apart. It's thinner (less than half an inch) than any other GPS watch on the market, thanks in part to the fact that some of its mass,...

We like the TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio, although it is far from perfect. It is built to last, and comfortable to wear, without being stylish. Critically, the built-in GPS and heartrate monitors are great, and battery life is good. But connectivity options aren't all that good, and it isn't cheap. But if you are sports mad, it is a good choice.

Many novice and experienced runners use GPS watches. They're great for keeping a close eye on your average pace throughout a run, particularly during those last few kilometres when you're striving towards the finish line.

The TomTom Multi-Sport is reliable, durable GPS watch suited for runners, swimmers and cyclists of all levels. We feel it's on par with other entry-level models for a similar price.

Single button for easy menu navigation; Watch face & button slip out of band as one unit; Price comparable to other entry-level GPS watches;

Battery life could be improved; Heart rate monitor is an extra cost;

Versatile and with above average battery life, but you'll need extras and GPS issues can slow you down

Does the job. Easy to set up and use. I didn't even need to ask my tech sons for help. Very good and bright display and amazing color. Looks stylish and battery timing is also perfect.

This is a really good watch for the price. Very reliable and easy to use. It also syncs with the nike running app which is really convenient for me since that's what I started out with
