We first saw TomTom put its GPS smarts into a running watch with the launch a few years back of the Nike+ TomTom SportWatch . It was a simple device aimed at putting the essential running stats where the recreational runner could see them - on their wrist...

You may know TomTom as that gadget inside your car but, go and have a chat with the Dutch company and you'll find that it's navigation software that it's all about. After all, anyone can make black plastic casings and stuff them with circuit boards. So, i...
The inrun performance monitoring is really nice, as is the feedback to help keep your pace right.
It doesn't look that great, the GPS takes an age before you can begin and some of the features need refining...
It's a really nice first stab at this from TomTom. Once they clean the Runner up a little bit, it's going to be good. For now, though, it's not quite ready...

With the TomTom Runner, the satnav giant is getting into the fitness game. After partnering up with Nike to make the Sporstwatch in 2012, it’s striking out on its own in a bid to craft the perfect timepiece for joggers and fitness fanatics. Is it worth...
TomTom’s latest foray into wearable hardware is an impressive one: the TomTom Runner is easy on the eye, just 11.5mm thick, comfortable to wear and even waterproof up to a depth of 10 metres. While TomTom’s claim that you use just one button to control is a tad disingenuous - it’s effectively a directional pad, like you’d find on any console gamepad - it is easy to control, even while you’re legg...
TomTom may have worked with Nike+ in the past, but if you’re still a fan of the latter, we’ve got bad news for you: the TomTom Runner isn't compatible with the little tracker tucked into the sole of your shoe, or the Nike+ cloud service. That feels like an oversight, especially since TomTom’s own included MySports service is so barebones, and is a legitimate reason to consider the Nike+ Sportswat...
The TomTom Runner isn’t for any fitness fans who’ve invested in hardware before, like a watch, tracker or heart rate monitor. The chances are, you’re all set up, and nothing here will radically improve your workout. If you’ve just bought a pair of Asic...

Wearable tech is all the rage at the moment, particularly smartwatches. It's hardly a surprise, then, that plenty of manufacturers want a slice of the pie. But what makes TomTom - the company better known for its satnav devices - believe it has what it ta...

Need a computer (no app connection), need to connect every three days, no real control over historical activities, doesn't use screen real-estate to the fullest, needs a docking station to charge and connect, TomTom MySports is poor, limitations to Race m...
For every feature we don't like about the TomTom Runner there is another feature we do. For everything TomTom has presumably learnt from its hand in the Nike+ SportsWatch, however, it also seems to have unlearnt something else. Which is really frust...

TomTom (the GPS so nice they named it twice) has decided to get into the crowded-but-plenty-of-room-for-improvement running watch game. The company has been making GPS devices for cars for years, so you'd think it'd be able to make a pretty good running w...
At $249, it's more expensive than the Garmin Forerunner 10 (which is TomTom's closest competitor), and the Garmin is definitely easier to read, and has a faster, more accurate GPS. However, the Garmin doesn't support use of a heart rate monitor, which we...
