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
  • Lacks built-in USB charging

  • Tougher, more durable design, Accurate heart rate monitor, Great heart rate zones feature
  • More expensive, Larger and bulkier than before
  • The TomTom Runner Cardio makes great improvements on its predecessor. It's just a shame that it costs more to own it and is a little bulky....

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • 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...
