TomTom Spark 3 is quite accurate at logging distance
The closure holds up quite well and the watch stays on quite firmly
very standard in terms of functionality and provides a solid level of data
TomTom does a great job of supporting partner networks

no ability to select
the range is extremely bad
Not earth-shattering but not very slick
the strap recently broke
a little bulky for my small wrist
The watch itself is a little bit bulky
it s NOT an auto-router
Video ReviewProsConsThe Spark 3 is NOT just for RUNNERS
It s NOT an auto-routing feature
TomTom s GPS running watch range
does NOT do is allow multiple sports in the SAME session
relying on a smartphone is all too often an uncomfortable experience
of dragging your bulky smartphone along
it is not compatible with my lg g4
The volume is also not controlled from the clock
you cannot select a pace or heart rate target for each section
this mode is only for pools without the use of GPS
the downloading is very slow
syncing and data upload can be slow
you can view only two metrics at a time
use the watch's buttons to skip tracks
lopsided design
no voice prompt to read out your stats at these intervals
the music breaks up only when i am running
you ever go running in an unfamiliar city
occassionally tricky to sync the Spark with our iPhone
full loss of life once forced us to reset the watch
the watch is slow at detecting changes in pace
Replacement hard to get and expensive
The screen is NOT a touch screen
The mp3 player is not an iPod
neither connect to Apple Health
just drag and drop the files
it only takes a few seconds of spinning the display module around
the headphones themselves are a little thick and rubbery
No magnets or fiddly clamps here
its running options are not as good as the Spark's
No cherry-picked units sent by manufacturers
it will not receive smartphone notifications
this model does not use a standard charger and relies on a proprietary connector
TomTom app lacks the vibrant community other manufacturers have created
this model lacks the ability to receive any sort of smart notifications
lengthy amount of time it takes to sync activities
seem like everyday calories are a big focus for the Spark
