GPS manufacturer TomTom took advantage of IFA to present its new smart health connected watch, specially dedicated to athletes. Its name is the Spark, and it has the particularity of being doubled with a music player.

TomTom Spark: a sports watch…

To run well, we need two things: to record our performances in a decent way and to encourage ourselves with music. Luckily, TomTom, mainly known for its navigation applications and GPS systems, has poured itself from the Runner into the market for smart health connected watches. Today, he presents the little news under the name of Spark.

Like any self-respecting sports smart health connected watch, TomTom Spark is capable ofrecord heart rate, distance traveled (in number of steps or in kilometers) and the calories burned by the user. At night, it acts as sleep monitoring, and since this is a TomTom, it also splits Integrated GPS which will deliver information on the speed or pace of the race. In addition, it turns out waterproof to almost 40 meters and owns multiple usage profiles (running, cycling, swimming, mat, gym and freestyle).

Please note that all this data can be downloaded via the application TomTom MySports (iOS and Android), and that they can be directly consulted from applications such as RunKeepet or Nike +.

In short, the TomTom Spark is a rather classic smart health connected sports watch, with the difference that it is intended lighter, smaller, with a larger memory, a Bluetooth connection and, above all, music.

… in music !

The main reason we focus on music is because TomTom Spark does it. In itself, the concept is nothing new, but it must be admitted that until now, smart health connected watches have often been content to offer a control of the music stored on your smartphone. TomTom Spark does not bother with such intermediaries and has an internal memory of 3GB, enough to build a playlist of about 500 pieces. For the lazy (which is highly unlikely, we are still talking about a sports watch), TomTom Spark is already equipped a 30-minute list of rhythm songs, named Running Trax, specially designed to motivate you. Either way, your music will be controlled from the watch itself and listen to each other via a portable headset smart health connected via Bluetooth.

TomTom Spark is already available for pre-order on the TomTom site for 249 €. It should be marketed from month of october.
