Where with Mio, TomTom is just another client. So performance wise there is no notable change, however, with TomTom being the main client of LifeQ they can have a big influence. Where using new or unproven technology is always a risk, I have not seen a big problem when using the device. They no longer use the Mio optical heart rate monitor but switched to a new company called LifeQ. Also, TomTom switched manufacturers for the optical heart rate sensors.

The buttons around the GPS receiver Heart Rate (+Cardio Models)Ī change from the last series is the naming of all the versions, more on that later. Useful during the shorter days of the year, as the screen light will stay on during your entire session. You can also enable the light by default by putting it in ‘night-mode’. Fun fact, it does randomly switch on in the shower. I’ve been trying to find out just what makes the light come on, if it’s a corner, conductivity or amount of cover, but I don’t actually know. Bonus: if it’s dark, just cover the watch with your hand and the backlight kicks in. The screen of the Spark is very clearly readable in almost any situation and angle.

So that’s a bit cheeky and probably where (in translation back and forth to my native Dutch) I have confused this with eInk.Īnyway, Garmin likes to go full color, but the readability is suffering because of it. Pebble uses the same type of screen and calls this e-paper. It’s actually a high contrast monochrome LCD. The display is made of eInk and because of that, it’s black and white and crystal clear with a high contrast. I was misinformed on the technology behind the screen. Not a real big deal, you can get your t-time from the official timing anyway. So it won’t measure your transition time and you have to stop and start different activities. When you do a race, I’d recommend using freestyle for the swim (if it’s open water) and change profiles when you run into T1 and T2.
Note for duathletes or triathletes: There is no multisport-profile. If you pick up a Spark second hand, you can get a fitting wrist band separately without any problems, they come in some nice colors too. On the small band I have about 4 holes left too, but then in the opposite, so I’m not allowed to get a lot fatter. It’s also less wide making it look just a bit less bulky. The small wristband is a better fit for me.
I have tiny wrists, only 6.5 inches (16.5cm), but I have about 4 holes left on the large wrist band or it would be too big. The wristband comes in a small and a large. This allows you to put the watch on much easier with one hand and taking it of is just as quick. But they’ve now integrated them into a new type of buckle. The new band has the little pins we’ve seen before on the Runner. It’s no longer a ‘classic’ band with a little buckle.
The watch is branded as Multi Sport as it has profiles for Swimming, Cycling, Running, Gym (cross fit for example), Indoor bike, treadmill and freestyle. This is around the same weight as the Garmin ForeRunner 225 (53g). It weighs (with cardio) about 46 grams (=1.6 ounces) (take or leave one for the small/big strap). For the new model the watch was also sent to fat camp and lost some weight. It’s the next step of TomTom’s move in the sports market and it’s a nice one.

The new Spark model (sometimes called Runner 2) also comes with a new optional feature to play music using a bluetooth headset. TomTom has released the Spark as the successor of the MultiSport and Run watches.
