This is notable because most people (especially athletes) have days where they run/walk more, and then other recovery days. But unlike every other device, it actually also shows you totals towards a weekly progress level. Like every other connected watch on the planet it now counts steps, distance, and calories from those steps. Next you’ll see the addition of activity tracking. Now if you flip over the Spark you’ll see the new LifeQ driven optical sensor in there. The remaining USD pricing should be announced next week. Note that only the USD pricing for the combo Cardio & Music option has been announced.

TomTom Spark Cardio & Music GPS Watch with Bluetooth Headphones €299/$TBA TomTom Spark Music GPS Watch with Bluetooth Headphones: €249/$TBA TomTom Spark Cardio & Music GPS Watch: €249/$249 On the bundle front, there are a bunch of different models for the Spark (plus those other Runner 2 models). It’s the exact same watch, just a different black strap and a different box/packaging focusing on the black strap (because it has a different name, Runner 2). It should be noted that in order to slightly increase confusion, the Spark will also be sold under a slightly different product name (Runner 2) at some specialty stores. First up is the larger teal color seen below, as well as the smaller purple color, and then a black variant.įor the black strap options, they’ve got both large and small. Speaking of straps, the unit can be bought in a few different strap colors. Additionally, the strap is significantly sized down from the larger straps of the TomTom Cardio. For example, they changed the way they do the bonding on the screen to get brighter whites and blacker black text, as well as making it a bit crisper. And in many ways it is, but it also differs a little. To begin you’ll notice that the unit looks a fair bit like the existing TomTom Runner & Multisport units. They’ve provided a production unit for me to do testing on, which eventually I’ll send back to them (also like usual). As usual, I paid for my own travel (just a quick 2hr 15min train ride from Paris). Then we had a video conference call with the folks behind LifeQ (which are key to the new optical sensor), and finally, we went for a run around London’s Regent’s Park. I spent a chunk of the day at the TomTom fitness team’s headquarters in London getting the technical low-down from them.

So rather than wait for a full in-depth review a few weeks from now, I figured I’d get you the details you’re looking for and a place to hold some discussion.

Further, as part of the upgrade from the units of past, they added in daily activity tracking (steps and sleep). This unit is unique in that it includes not only a new optical HR sensor, but also adds in music playback via Bluetooth headphones. Earlier yesterday I had the opportunity to test out the new TomTom Spark GPS watch.
