TomTom's official figures for the Spark 3 give five hours of continuous heart rate, GPS and music playback, eleven hours of just GPS, and up to three weeks of activity tracking/everyday wear. The bigger problem, though, is that the app and the Spark 3 don’t always reliably communicate, with the two often taking a while to connect over Bluetooth, or failing altogether on first attempt, which can make it a pain to sync your data. It's annoying these have to be downloaded, rather than just being able to key in a pace to run to on the watch itself (a great feature on the Garmin range, for instance).

You can download distance/time races from the MySports Connect site (allowing you to race against a pre-defined pace), but we’d prefer a 10km, half marathon, full marathon schedule to stick to. It’s all very in keeping with Fitbit, Jawbone and Strava, and will feel instantly comfortable to a seasoned runner, but it doesn’t offer much beyond the basics. The general layout of the MySports app is clean and easy to navigate with basic stats, distance goals and individual workouts listed under the Activities tab.Ĭlick on a workout and you’ll see a detailed breakdown of the run/cycle including a map, splits, heart rate (if used), pace, elevation and so on.
It isn’t a deal breaker, and given the great fit and £30/AU$50 price tag (or free with the Spark 3 in the US) they’re actually a bit of a bargain. Sound quality however is average at best, with little in the way of bass and an overly bright delivery, sometimes verging on shrill. They’re also splash proof, so rinsing under the tap won’t kill them. They’re not attractive to looks at, but the lightweight over ear, behind the neck design is extremely comfortable and secure.
Just as well then that TomTom’s own Bluetooth headphones connected every time.
