TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Review

To obtain your bloodstream pumping. But for quite some time now, I've not took in to music while running. Why? I did not seem like transporting an additional gadget beside me. I acquired a Gps navigation watch and so i wouldn't need to bring my iPhone after i went for individuals 10-mile jaunts. However, the TomTom Cardio   Spark might just get me into the habit again. That is because this Gps navigation watch has 3GB of storage built-in, and enables you to stream music for your earphones via Bluetooth. Additionally, it works being an all-day activity tracker. But exactly how well perform the additional features.

TomTom's Gps navigation watches possess a design 

That sets them aside from other trackers. Rather of the round watch face, the Spark Cardio's is rectangular, having a square four-way button beneath. TomTom claims this design helps make the watch simpler to navigate while you are on the go and results in less interference for that Gps navigation signal. Its all-black face is functional, but it is not as attractive because the more colorful Garmin Forerunner 225.

The Spark Cardio   Music is slimmer than other Gps navigation watches I have used, but due to the curved plastic body, you are not necessarily getting something supersleek in exchange. At 1.76 ounces, the TomTom is lighter compared to 1.9-ounce Garmin Forerunner 225, but less that you would spot the difference.

You can buy the Spark Cardio with whether small strap or perhaps a large strap the previous has five color options, as the latter has three. Even though you can setup the Spark Cardio through TomTom's smartphone application, you will need to connect the timepiece for your computer via USB if you wish to transfer music.

The TomTom MySports Connect application is simple 

To use but pretty rudimentary it just enables you to upload watch data towards the cloud and transfer music towards the watch. Somewhat annoyingly, you are able to only add playlists towards the watch, and never individual songs (more about this later). Generally, I loved running using the Spark Cardio, there is however room for improvement. The big, transflective display makes it simple to determine, even just in vibrant light, and every screen shows your present stats in large figures. Still, there's some a learning curve for working out how you can navigate the menus.

Unlike the Garmin Forerunner watches, the Spark Cardio does not instantly beep and supply an overview after each mile or kilometer you will need to set this up by hand within the Training menu, under Laps. Also, you cannot view your splits around the watch itself you need to upload the information for your phone first. However, I love that underneath the Times menu, you are not locked into indicating either time or distance for work and rest. That's, you are able to set the timepiece to warn you advertising media are miles after which get it rest for just two minutes.
