Customer Review

Preliminary remarks:

Now I'm already running weekly since about 2.5 years 3-4x.
2 years ago I bought the Polar FT 60 as a companion for my units.
This clock has always been a faithful companion and helped me a lot to perform targeted my units.
The FT 60 with chest strap I then today also used to work on the other wrist to perform a comparison of the heart rate.
For comparison the distance App Runtastic was Samsung S4 used.
My reasoning was that I wanted to be able to create and play back a clock with GPS and has the ability intervals.
I was skeptical at first, a clock that only 2 LED sensors on the wrist will measure my pulse without chest strap.
You could choose from the Polar RCX3, adidas miCoach and its predecessor TOM TOM Runner. Below I will try to explain to you why I have decided for the Tom Tom Runner cardio.

1. Shipping:

How am I to expect from Amazon, at 14:04. ordered and due to the Easter holidays it was at 22:04. One day come earlier than planned.

2. Unboxing

The Tom Tom Runner Cardio was sent in a white box with hard plastic cover in the Amazon box.
Supplied next to the clock with the respective watch strap USB cable was there yet, which is required for charging and for connecting with Tom Toms MySportsConnect.
After everything was unpacked, shortly after reading the manual and who now thinks: Hit the streets, I must first slow down.
After all, the battery must first be charged.
According to the manual, the program My Sport Connect should one directly from the Tom Tom side load (here the link: [...])
and install the program. Said And Done.
The clock can easily be removed for loading from tape, and then reinstated, moreover it can also be loaded with tape.
After installing the program and the pre-loaded on the clock version is then updated. This process is completed within 5 minutes.
Now just fix registered with Tom Toms MySportsConnect, because there, the data are recorded while running stored permanently.
After the battery was fully charged after about 30 minutes after unpacking, we went to the first unit.

3. The first run

Created the clock on the left hand just behind the wrist and pressed the button to the right.
Within 15 seconds, the clock had found the GPS signal in the house!
Outside still quickly adjusted to the road the unit you want, with me, for example: every kilometer in 4:50 minutes plus / minus 10 seconds. That is, if you run for 10 seconds faster or slower vibrates the clock and shows a by forward arrow (= run faster), arrow to the rear (= slow running) as well as your circle with 2 other circles it (= within this time zone) in real time and not only after each of kilometers, what to do in order to achieve his goal.
The vibration is at the beginning or was unusual for me because I'm so far never raced with a GPS clock.
While running you can over the keys to the right / left and / replacing top down views on the clock.
For me, the view has: at the top left to maturity, right above the kilometer run, and in the middle the current speed and including the zone (sprint, endurance, fat burning) in the one runs just as the best emerged.
Simply press To end the activity, as well as to pause the button to the left and then about 2 seconds hold now the activity is paused. To continue just to right. To exit hold for 2 seconds and there is a summary with time, Kalorieren, kilometers and heart rate zone.
After that you have to manually deactivate again the heart rate measurement and the GPS, otherwise the battery goes pretty quickly empty.
Daheim arrived clock back on the charging station is connected to the PC and uploaded via MySportsConnect to Tom Toms MySports.
On this page, then becoming the entire workouts saved.
Likewise, you can let yourself workout details like the card, time, distance, heart rates, altitude, calories burned and pace and step frequency display to the current training.
The comfort of the clock was very high.
The clock was closely put on the wrist, but has not pressed on the 15 km long stretch or slip. The rubber band can be easily separated from the clock and free of sweat under water after use.
Another highlight is that the rubber band can simply replace it with another without having to buy a new clock.
The backlight can be turn on by the attached on the screen in the right middle section 3 white dots.

4. Result

My Polar FT 60 always came when I looked about every 5 minutes in the heart rate at the same frequency. So you could not notice any difference between chest strap from Polar and wrist measurement of Tom Tom.
Even with the distance measurement by runtastic and cardio no abnormalities were detected.
The result at the end even brought the same number calories burned up to 2 calories.

5. Summary
All in all I can comment on the clock me for the first unit only positive and satisfied.
There are more runs are carried out to see where the clock might negatively noticeable.
For some, the battery life of almost 10 hours at GPS on and heart rate measurement seems close, but this term will be extended by turning off both Anwenungen on.
Now battery lasts after all sensors are days from the last full charge and the battery icon is still quite full!
