The clock comes in a plain plastic / cardboard packaging in cube design. As an accessory, the proprietary USB dock of Tom Tom is supplied (again a cable more ... hmmm)
The first connection via Tom Tom Connect (downloadable from the Tom Tom website) works and the clock is updated to the newest firmware version. Log on to the Tom Tom's own portal and you can already upload their erlaufenen data.
The tape is like a normal wristwatch, worn above the wrist ankle. After a few seconds the GPS signal is found and also the pulse indication will not be long in coming. Ready to go.
While running I was particularly skeptical about the dropouts RF measurement with perspiration. In many forums was to read that (to sweat so if you start really ;-)) after about 30 minutes running adopted the RF measurement, freeze or display incorrect values. I can not confirm at my clock. According to Tom Tom Support should 'take the chance on a clock with faulty RF Measurement "now be very small ... lucky ;-)
The defective watches were probably replaced by TT support.
The clock has recorded all my runs (amateur runners about 3 × 10 km, the week) tidy and uploading via Bluetooth to mobile app works just fine so far (maybe a bit slow - about 3min) The Tom Tom portal for evaluation rather bad because it was kept simple to simple. But you can also upload Strava directly or generate a GPX file. (More portals are expected to follow)
For me, the clock makes a high impression, meticulously crafted and is best suited for an amateur runner.
positive:
- No pulse band
- Lightweight
- Various Trainingsmodie
- Vibrations or acoustic warnings
- Easy upload of data
negative:
- Proprietary cable
- Poor Tom Tom Webpage
