The editors liked
Comfortable
Plenty of options
Open platform support for services like RunKeeper
Good enough battery life
As a watch it's great
The inrun performance monitoring is really nice
As is the feedback to help keep your pace right.
Comfortable on the wrist
QuickGPSFix is accurate
Good battery life
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
Simple to use
Rapid to set up
Tougher
More durable design
Accurate heart rate monitor
Great heart rate zones feature
Impressive QuickGPSFix technology
Light
Comfortable watch design
Motivational graphical virtual trainer
The editors didn't like
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
It doesn't look that great
The GPS takes an age before you can begin and some of the features need refining
GPS syncing can be slow
No built
In USB charging
TomTom MySports still very basic
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
New strap with removable face
No micro USB charging
More expensive
Larger and bulkier than before
Very basic TomTom MySports web tool
Watch doesn't fit securely inside strap when not worn

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....

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...
