TomTom Multisports Watch

[jonnynogood]

Hello guys,

 

I am hoping to get some insight or feedback on the Tom Tom Multisports Watch

http://sports.tomtom.com/en_za/

 

Has anyone currently got one or used one?

 

How does it compare to a Garmin or Suunto?

 

Thanks

I had one, worked well enough but with constant fitting the strap split from the watch on the USB side.

There are clearly still big teething problems. Wait until they have released the second or third edition.

I've had two faulty devices in a row and have finally managed to organise a refund.

I had one for a few weeks, but returned it due to technical issues, I wasn't very impressed, the battery life is also not great.. need at least 12 hrs. got the 910xt and its SUPER

I just got one and it is excellent, I have done all the updates and find it most likely the best piece of kit I have used. Even comes with a water proof HR........it is also nice and light.....I would not get the 910XT, too big.

I think it's got potential. But there are heaps of issues.

 

The waterproof HR - I've heard of numerous instances where it is not as waterproof as it is made out to be.

Battery life - unpredictable and poor at best. Sometimes manages five hours, sometimes runs out after three.

 

As said before, I've had two faulty devices...there is a quality control issue too. If you're not doing a triathlon, but simply want a watch to switch between running and cycling, then maybe.

 

910XT is a far superior product. Not much of a comparison.

Just noticed that Kalahari.com is running a special on the Suunto Ambit 2S:

Maybe that's also an option for you.

Thanks for feedback, all considered its a no go.

 

Will wait and get a garmin or suunto
