Rata Del Spruit Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Tom tom has at least a 10 year history if not longer in Europe. It's just new HERE. Do you know if their sports watches are any good?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Do you know if their sports watches are any good? Nope. I only know them as standalone gps units
Lone_Ranger Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Do you know if their sports watches are any good? There was a short review of their new running watch in the last issue of Runner's World. Looks qite good, and about R2200, so not too expensive. Looks like it's running specific though. Don't know about other models. Rata Del Spruit 1
Lone_Ranger Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I saw somebody in the Classifieds advertising the Tom Tom watches. R1899 for the Runner, R2799 for the Multi sport. Link added below. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/77830-tomtom-multi-sport-watches-now-stocked/ Edited February 2, 2014 by Lone_Ranger

Hacc Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I wouldn't recommend the TomTom Multisport. See my post here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/134851-tom-tom-multi-sport-who-has-one/ Rata Del Spruit 1
Blackheart Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 i've been using a Garmin Forerunner for years, can only recommend it.It can be set up for running, cycling and multisport.Uploads data to pc or mac faultlessly. Has a dedicated bike mount too.If mine broke i'd get another. Rata Del Spruit 1
Rata Del Spruit Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 I wouldn't recommend the TomTom Multisport. See my post here: http://www.thehubsa....rt-who-has-one/ Appreciate it, Hacc, I was starting to lean quite heavily towards that watch (admittedly based on the convincing YouTube ad) but that thread has put me off it completely. Garmin 210 looks like the business now.
Hacc Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Glad I could help. I am still using the Tom Tom but without the heart rate monitor. Which is useless when training. I have a Garmin Edge 705 for cycling and it is awesome. I would stick with Garmin in future.
madbradd Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Erm, Bradd, the 910 is FAR more than 2k. Missed the budget... oops
scotty Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I have the Nike GPS sports watch which i mainly use for hiking and taking my dogs for long walks but have used it on the bike as well. Quick and easy to use, details are loaded to Nike webpage via USB plug in and displays activity on maps. It also comes with footpod and you can pair it with a Polar HR strap if you want HR http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/04/nike-sportwatch-gps-in-depth-review.html
jannosmit Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've got the Garmin FR210 with HRM. Really happy with it considering the price of it.
Mo2010 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Got the Garmin fr110, works for me. Can switch between pace for running and speed for cycling. Got for 1699 on takealot. Doesn't come with a hr monitor but u can always buy one at a later stage. Rata Del Spruit 1
hayleyearth Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I think this might be my next watch... http://www.suunto.com/Products/sports-watches/Suunto-Ambit3-Sport/Suunto-Ambit3-Sport-Blue/ (i like the colour)
