TomTom Spark

The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music is the satnav maker's third GPS sports watch. Well fourth, if you count its partnership with Nike for the Nike+ SportWatch, which first launched back in 2011.

Slim and comfortable to wear all day ; Quick GPS signal pick up ; Reliable heart rate data

Pairing Bluetooth headphones is temperamental ; Software still needs a lot of work ; Poor battery life when using all features

The TomTom Spark Cardio is a solid GPS sports watch, but it's not quite the ultimate all-in-one device I'd hoped for.

Hands on: TomTom Spark review

Street beat

Better design ; Music feature could be very useful ; Heart rate monitor improved

Generalist fitness features very basic ; Most of the music controls are limited to your headphones

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music review: Feature-packed for fitness fun

TomTom has diverged from personal navigation, seeing the company embrace sports devices in recent years. After an initial partnership with Nike, it stepped out on its own with the Multi-Sport and Multi-Sport Cardio sportswatches, the predecessors to...

Plenty of features, good GPS and heart rate tracking performance, easy to navigate

Music is a little fiddly, dependency on a computer feels dated

The TomTom Spark is a compelling sportswatch offering plenty of features for fitness fans. Importantly, we've found that the results are accurate, with good distance-tracking and very good heart-rate monitoring.

TomTom Spark fitness watch review: No great shakes - The Times of India

The TomTom Spark fitness watch is a fitness tracker that despite it's potential can't live up to it's pricetag.

* Big display ; * Effective sleep tracking ; * Rugged

Considering the fact that this watch has been priced at Rs 21,999 (Cardio + Music) its performance is not what we had expected. And it does not look fancy enough to merit that price tag. The less costly versions might be a different case, but the top...

Goondu review: TomTom Spark February 12th, 2016 | by Alfred Siew Mobile 0

The Spark could have done a bit more - with an improved desktop interface for music - to make you leave your other gadgets behind without thinking twice.

Excellent GPS running watch!

I bought this as an upgrade to a previous model TomTom Runner GPS watch and it is excellent. It is easy to use, has a built in heart rate monitor, picks up GPS signal quickly and very accurately logs runs. It can be used for multiple sports including...
