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

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,...

The watch performs as advertized. It is very light weight and easy to use while running. The results appear to be accurate. I am fairly obsessive about recording the length of my runs and this watch gives me the ability to vary my routes daily and still have an accurate measurement of the distance.

Accurate; Comfortable; Easy To Use While Running; Stylish

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 has quickly moved into the GPS fitness watch market and looks set to give the leading supplier, Garmin, a real run (pun intended) for its money.

Overall this is a good GPS watch for runners of all levels. At $349 it may be a little pricey for some but given the range of features, it’s a worthwhile buy.

Built-in heart rate monitor; Comfortable and easy to use with single button control; Online dashboard provides very useful information;

It’s a tad expensive. If you’re not too fussed about the heart rate monitor, the entry-level TomTom Runner is significantly less expensive at $199;

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.

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.

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

Although it does not have as many features as some other smart watches for serious runners this is a good piece of kit. The mapping accuracy and GPS fix are excellent. Updates are regularly provided to add new functions
