Meanwhile, if you flip it over you’ll see the optical sensor on the back. You navigate through the menus using the little joystick thingy at the bottom. You can get different colored straps, as well as different sized straps. Because the pod is a bit different, it’s not compatible with older TomTom straps. Next, with the watch it comes as a little pod that fits into the wrist strap.
But of course you can also download via your phone (iOS/Android). The cable both charges and allows download to Mac/PC. Thus, it won’t work with previous TomTom watches. The charger is actually different from previous generations. You’ve got the watch, the charger, and a chubby little manual:
Inside the box there aren’t really too many pieces. And remember, it also could be named differently too (Runner vs Spark). The pod that goes in the wrist bands are all the same. Next, note there are different sizes, which is just the wrist band. For example, on this music one, you can see it lists music as a feature – but for this model I bought, it didn’t include the headphones (that’s a different bundle). Externally of course on the box it’ll say which model you’ve got. That’s because it’s only the innards that differ between the different models. The Spark comes in a bunch of different variants, though the internal packaging is actually the same on all of them (unless you get the headphones). My testing has been on a mix of both of those units, and following this review I’ll return the media loaner to TomTom like normal. Additionally, I also purchased my own TomTom Spark unit as well to test. In many ways the core of the unit isn’t super different than past GPS watches from the company, yet at the same time it makes those slight but important additions that make it incredibly competitive – especially in the mid-range running watch category.įor this review TomTom provided me a final production unit back in late October. These were TomTom’s new entrant into the market by combining an optical HR sensor with music and GPS tracking capabilities.
It’s been about 50 days since I started testing the TomTom Spark watch (also branded as the Runner 2).
