![]() This information is combined with the age, weight and height details submitted onto the TomTom MySports app and the watch also picks up your gradient. All this data allows it to accurately tell you how many calories you’re burning during a run. I really like the inclusion of heart rate without having to wear a separate heart rate monitor. Whilst running, you can change the screen to show information about time taken, pace, calories and heart rate. The digits are large enough to glance at whilst running without worrying about losing pace or falling over. I also like the fact that there is just one large button that can be pressed in four directions to access the menu. ![]() The button is well protected by the strap, so when I’m running with the dog lead around my wrist, sudden movements from Bubbles don’t pause my run. When I agreed to review the TomTom Spark Cardio sports watch, I was determined to include an open water swim as part of my review. What happened? Well, it snowed, that’s what happened. Much as I am delighted to see the sunshine that has now moved in, I’m giving it a few more weeks to warm up before I get in the lake. I’ll be swimming without a wetsuit so it’s going to be pretty chilly. In the meantime, I’ve tested the watch in the pool. I really don’t know how it does this, but the watch knows both how many lengths I’ve done and how far each length is, thereby knowing my total distance. I know GPS doesn’t work inside, so I have no idea how it’s doing this – magic perhaps?Įither way, it’s really useful. ![]() I’ve been timing myself swimming a mile and it gives me my distance and time by the end. So far I’ve knocked a minute off my time and I’m hoping to improve more in the coming weeks. It is excellent being able to use the watch in the pool as well as running. CyclingĪt the moment, my bike is on our turbo trainer inside so that my husband can use it as well. ![]() I’m hoping to get back to cycling outdoors in due course. For now though, I’m loving the function on the TomTom Spark that allows me to record indoor cycling. ![]()
