Note that even though the strap sizes are different, the watch module sizes remain the same. TomTom makes a few different straps as well: First is the strap, and second is the watch module. No problems with swimming here.Īs you probably noticed that there’s actually two parts here. Here’s a look at the back of the watch, which shows the waterproof rating of 5ATM (roughly 50m deep). Though, repeated in 28 languages (ok, slightly less languages).

Next we have the shortest manual known to mankind. The watch module will detach from the strap and land in the charger for charging: This is how the unit both transfers data to your computer, as well as gets charged up. Looking at each piece in a touch bit more detail, first up is the USB charging cable. Here’s the charging cable going nude without the plastic baggie. They are the unit itself, the charging cable, and the manual. On the back of the box they’ve got a display of some of the different unique modes/screens within the TomTom unit.Ĭracking it open we’ve got the three core pieces of the unit. This is very typical of most products I receive early in the release cycle.

While I’ll be reviewing both in this review, I only have the full unboxing experience for the Runner, as the Multisport final box isn’t quite yet complete (though the watch hardware I have is complete). Whereas the Multisport is aimed at those who swim/bike/run. The Runner is targeted at, well, runners. There are two different units available from TomTom: The Runner and the Multisport.
Tomtom home runner update#
Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background (my day job), and thus I try and be as complete as I can.
Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular triathlete out there. Note that as of this writing, the Multisport edition is still in beta, and thus items may and will likely change between now and the release of the unit later in July. Sorta like hiking in wilderness trails – leave only footprints. Because I want to be transparent about my reviews, once my evaluation period with the TomTom units has elapsed, I send it back to TomTom in the Netherlands. Over the last six weeks I’ve been using the units pretty extensively, and by now have a pretty solid grasp on how they work. And the second unit is the TomTom Multisport, which is $30 more, but covers cycling and indoor swimming. The first unit out of the chute from an availability standpoint is the TomTom Runner, which is aimed at the mid-range running market (from a price standpoint at $169). These two units were produced solely by TomTom (previously they had a partnership with Nike on the Nike+ GPS Sportwatch). TomTom announced their first athletic GPS units back in April, but it’s as of today that you can finally buy them (well, at least the Runner edition).
