原文： EDIT: I've updated review in response to TomTom Community Manager's comment. After you read my review, I encourage you to click on comments and read everything Community Manager posted. I specifically asked him to address price difference between versions I talk about, and he was kind enough to resp
ond in detail.

Before reviewing a product I try to use it extensively for at least a month. Being a long time user of previous TomTom Spark I was excited to take new Spark 3 for a ride. On one hand, I am extremely disappointed because most of the changes TomTom promised during last year are still missing. On the other hand, launch of this new device resulted in price slash of old model, which is great opportunity for those in market to buy fitness tracking watch.

Right now the old version of TomTom Spark Cardio+Music is selling for $139 while new version is $249. Looking at the price difference you are probably asking - what is the difference between the two? Actually not much, version 3 has:

1. Slightly redesigned wristband - subjectively I would say it is a bit better, but not really a difference maker
2. Bluetooth headphones - included with new version, again not a big deal
3. Compass - sounds great out of box, haven't used it once during my month long testing
4. Breadcrumbs support in software - watch can show you the path you've ran so you can backtrack. It's useful if you are long distance runner in unknown terrain; see picture attached to review
5. Support for uploading GPX files - another feature for advanced runners; you can upload running route to your watch before race and then track the path on your wrist during the race

And that's it. Although all features are improvements, none of them is truly a difference maker. Especially when you take price into consideration, buying old version from this link is no-brainer:

https://www.amazon.com/TomTom-Cardio-Fitness-Monitor-Storage/dp/B015CDWGQA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1480656995&tag=codeproject-20-soclog-20&linkId=c7bfbb2a7035a06a89dbb37d3f884980

Now, is TomTom Spark Cario+Music 2 or 3 a watch for you? Well, that depends on what you will use watch for... here is the list of things that I find problematic or controversial after long use:

- Long time to get GPS signal - if you are in a new area it may take up 10 minutes to get GPS signal. So, yeah, if this upsets you - definitely skip this product. If you are often running in the same area GPS caching will do the trick and in most cases TomTom Spark will pinpoint your location within 10 seconds.
- Heart rate tracking only truly works for running - for all other activities HR is definitely off. For example, when you are tracking heart rate during weightlifting you'll quite likely experience this. Also, I've read a review where customer was complaining that HR tracking is off for swimming. I understand that some people have high expectations, but be realistic ;) - this HR tracking technology simply won't work in water environment. In a nutshell, expect that HR monitor on this watch will give you pretty accurate reading whenever your wrist is in "I'm running" position; for all other positions it'll be off.
- Activity tracking is not top notch - sleep tracking and calorie counts are definitely little bit off. Tracking steps on the other hand is OK.
- Proprietary USB charger with awkward connection to watch - I seriously have no idea why they made it this complicated to connect watch for charging / USB data transfer. For all practical purposes you'll need to eject watch from wristband EVERY time you want to connect it to your PC / Mac. After a while you may get hang of it - practice will make whole process a bit faster. Water resistance may have played a part in design, but there was truly no need to make it this complicated.
- Speaking of USB charger - I've just ran into problems with it. I've attached image the illustrates the problem - how charger pin bent. I did manage to bend it back and charger still works... will see for how long.
- Lack of touch screen - this watch uses dedicated button for navigation. If touch screen is a must for you, then this is a deal breaker. On the other hand if you don't have formed opinion on this topic, hear my advice - give this watch a chance and try it. I was also on fence before buying when I discovered that screen doesn't respond to touch. Now, I actually prefer it this way - having a solid physical button you can press definitely beats swiping when you are in the middle of the run and sweat is dripping.
- Music is not that useful - while prospect of not carrying phone with you sounds great (and was one of the main reasons why I purchased this watch), I actually never used it after first week. First, you need to transfer music (or in my case audio books) through mentioned USB cable and TomTom software. Second, only MP3&AAC are supported. Third, Spark really relies on playlists so you can't just drag folder with files over to watch. In the end the whole experience and music/audiobooks navigation is far from user friendly. So, if I was buying TomTom Spark I would definitely go with Cardio only to save money. This is the belt that I use to carry my phone:

https://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Sports-Running-Waist-Pack/dp/B00U8MOHNG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1480656647&tag=codeproject-20-soclog-20&linkId=b1650f792fd7dd9f8ecf36c7a90d824c

Conclusion: if you are able to get this watch for $139 - get it. I do like it and use it every day. It's pretty stylish, works well and battery life is pretty good. Too bad TomTom is selling it for $250; at that price point you may as well look at other high end watches. In the end, it's your decision.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to leave comment and I'll try to respond. And if this detailed (just getting to 900 words ;) review helped, please mark it as helpful! Thanks!

EDIT: At this moment new version is $229, while old version is $129 (headphone bundle is $134). I'm on fence to order another old version Spark for this price. I did run into problems with charger. See attached picture.

For Community Manager - can you please provide your view as to why people should shell out extra $100 for new version? I agree 1-5 are improvements, but I don't see them as $100 difference. Thus, I would appreciate to hear your perspective.

As I said in my review I definitely think that price point is biggest hurdle for this watch. For $139 or less I do think buying this watch is great value for what it offers. I appreciate that you are following user feedback, and I hope you'll keep improving your offering.

我更新了回应TomTom 公司言论的评价。在看了我的评论之后，我鼓励你查看评论并阅读公司管理者发布的所有内容。我特地请他介绍一下所说的版本之间的价格差异，他很亲切并且详细地回答。
在确认一个产品的好坏之前，我至少需要试用一个月。作为TomTom的老用户我很兴奋能够使用新出的 Runner 3。但是另一方面，我又非常失望，因为TomTom公司在去年承诺将会作出改变的地方仍然没有变化。另一方面，这一新设备的推出导致了旧型号的降价，这是市场上购买健身跟踪手表的大好机会。现在TomTomSpark Cardio+Music老版本的售价是139美元，而新的版本是249美元。看看价格差异你可能会问这两者之间有什么区别？实际上功能差不多，版本3有以下功能：
1．对表带进行了微调，客观的说我觉得这一点是好的，但并没有真正表现出大差异。
2. 新版也可以使用蓝牙耳机，没什么出奇的。
3．耳放音质很棒，虽然在我长达一个月的测试中还没有使用过一次。
4．软件支持面包屑导航，手表可以显示你的来路和返程。如果你是未知地形的长跑运动员，那就很有用了。
5．支持上传GPX文件；在看比赛前你可以上传运行路线，然后通过你手表上的比赛路径就可以了。
　　虽然所有的功能都在改进，但没有一个真的与以前的有特别大的差异。尤其是当你要考虑价钱的时候。购买旧版可以通过以下链接访问：
https://www.amazon.com/TomTom-Cardio-Fitness-Monitor-Storage/dp/B015CDWGQA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1480656995&tag=codeproject-20-soclog-20&linkId=c7bfbb2a7035a06a89dbb37d3f884980

现在你觉得TomTomSpark Cario+Music 2 或者 3怎么样？嗯，那要看你要用于什么用途了…
　　我在长期使用后发现了问题：如果你在一个新的地区，可能需要10分钟才能获得GPS信号。所以，是的，如果你不满意，可以果断的忽视这个产品。如果你经常在同一地区连接GPS运行，GPS只需要缓存就行，在大多数情况下，TomTom Spark会在10秒内找准你的位置。心率跟踪只适用于跑步或者其他活动，HR追踪是绝对不够的。
　　举个例子，当你在举重时，它就可以很容易地跟踪心率。另外，我读了一篇评论。有人抱怨说，这个仪器是不适合在游泳的时候进行心率跟踪的。我明白有些人有很高的期望，但要面对现实，这种跟踪技术现在根本无法在水中工作。简而言之，只有当你的手腕显示在“我正在跑步”的位置时，这个手表上的监测器才能给你相当准确的读数；其他所有的位置都会停止追踪。活动追踪不是一流的睡眠跟踪和卡路里计数，这是一个缺点。另一方面，它支持记录步数。
有专有的USB充电器连接手表，真的不知道他们为什么要搞得这么复杂，要用USB充电器对手表进行充电。对于所有的实际目的，每次你想将它连接到您的PC Mac的腕带手表上时，它会弹出。一段时间后，你可能会知道使用窍门，以加快使用进程。耐水性在设计中起了一定作用，但确实没有必要使它变得如此复杂。
谈到USB充电器，我刚刚遇到了问题。我附上的图像说明的问题是：充电器引脚为何会弯曲。我设法把它弄回去为了让充电器还可以被使用。
这款手表没有触摸屏，使用专用按钮进行导航。如果你打算买带有触摸屏的手表，那这款手表可能不大适合你了。另一方面，如果你对这个问题没有意见，听我的，试试这只手表。得知手表没有触摸屏，在买之前我也举棋不定。但现在，我真的喜欢这样一个具体的按钮，这样在跑步之后就不需要用汗涔涔的手去点击屏幕了。
音乐功能没有多大用处。虽然说不带手机是挺不错的（其实这也是我买这只手表的主要原因之一），但我实际上一周后就没用过它。首先，你需要将音乐（或在我的情况下，音频书籍）通过USB数据线和TomTom软件相连。第二，它只支持MP3和AAC。第三，Spark真的依赖于播放列表，所以你不能只是拖动文件夹的文件来观看。所有的体验、音乐或有声读物导航都非常不错。所以，如果我买了这款TomTom的运动腕表，肯定是为了省钱。我通常用腰带来携带手机，腰带的购买链接如下：
https://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Sports-Running-Waist-Pack/dp/B00U8MOHNG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1480656647&tag=codeproject-20-soclog-20&linkId=b1650f792fd7dd9f8ecf36c7a90d824c
结论：希望你能用139美元买到这只手表。我确实喜欢它，每天都用它。它非常时髦，效果很好，电池寿命也很好。TomTom公司是卖了250美元；在这个价格点，你不妨看看其他高端手表。最后，这些都由你自己决定。
您有任何其他问题，请留下评论，我会尽量回答。如果这个详细的（仅仅是900个词）的评论有帮助，请注明它有用！谢谢！
编辑：此时新版本是229美元，而旧版本是129美元（耳机包是134美元）。我以前在为是否购买旧版本的问题而摇摆不定。充电器确实有问题。见附图。
想对营销经理说：请问您能提供您的观点来解释为什么人们应该支付额外的100美元来购买新版本？我承认以上五点是你们做出的改进，但我不认为这些改进能值100美元的差价。因此，如您愿意陈述观点，我愿洗耳恭听。
正如我在评论中所说，我认为这只手表的最大障碍就是价位。我认为这只手表并不值139美元的价格。我很感激你能理解用户的反馈，我希望你能不断改进你的产品。

原文： This review is for a TomTom Spark 3 Cardio+Music:
I workout at least 5 days a week, sometimes multiple times per day, so I needed a watch that could take a beating but still fill all the functional requirements that I need (steps, GPS, music, etc...). I was very excited to find a watch that ful
filled all these characteristics, in addition to having on board music storage. I have had the watch for a few days now and subjected the watch to some pretty significant abuse (4 crossfit workouts, some lunch time mountain biking, a couple of runs, and a rather intense period of hill sprints on wet grass). The watch has handled very well. I also had no problem syncing the device to my phone and computer through the TomTom mysports app. All in all, HARDWARE WISE, I have ZERO complaints about this watch. So why the 3 stars???

My employer runs a incentive wellness program, where you can earn money off your health insurance premiums by being active and getting a physical every year. The program is ran through the Virgin Pulse program. Virgin Pulse allows you to link every type of step counter known to man, from a fitbit to a jawbone, to track steps (we need to log so many steps a day to get points, yada yada)... The sole exception seems to be any TomTom product. I couldn't understand why I could not interface my TomTom with Virgin pulse, but wasn't too worried because I could link my TomTom with myFitness pal or Strava, which in turn can be linked to Virgin Pulse. Then I found out a glaring issue with this tracker. While it will track steps and document steps within the TomTom mysports app, it will not export the step tracking to apps like MyFitness Pal or Strava. It will only export an "Activity". So, you have a fun trade off here. You can walk around all day in run mode and eat up the battery, or track steps which can't be exported to other apps. What I found even worse was when I went to the TomTom forum it seemed that this wasn't even a concern of TomTom and the admins at the forum just spewed convoluted excuses for why this hasn't been done or why it probably isn't being looked into. At one point the admin said that no tracker sends step data to another app:
"You can view everything you are looking for in MySports, just click the Progress tab at the top of the screen and you can choose Activity Tracking and see every metric for the day, week, month, etc. The only thing uploaded to any of the partner sites is sports activities; none of the activity tracking is transmitted. The issue with this is that the standard file types used across the industry do not have a place to put activity data so all the major players would have to agree on a format and then adjust their APIs to accept it. This is why activity tracking stays within its environment for the most part (you can only view FitBit data in their app, Garmin in theirs etc.). I can see it coming down the road at some point but I am not sure how much of a priority it is for the companies involved."
Except that is EXACTLY what my fitbit surge did without issue for the last year and my fitbit HR did for two years before that! My fitbit would document steps in the fitbit app which would then communicate that directly to the Virgin Pulse App. Additionally the software GUI has a lot to be desired. Who decided that a watch face should look like this? The hour is stacked above the mins with the date sideways and offset in the upper right corner? Are you kidding me? Also, you only have the ability to set a single alarm and the only sound that it makes is a loud beeping noise with vibration. There is no option to change the clock face or the alarm to just vibration. Anyone who has owned a fitbit knows that the vibrating alarm is a blessing to the person sleeping next to you when you are up at 4 to go workout. Finally, while there is a stopwatch, there is no timer! Come on TomTom! The worst part is that when any of these issues are brought up on the support forum the response is nothing but excuses and misdirection, all while making it seem like the person asking for these simple features are asking for the world.

Like I said, the hardware is solid, and well worth the 300$, but the laziness on the software side and support communication doesn't warrant more than 3 stars!

译文：这是一条有关TomTomSpark3运动腕表的评价：
我一周至少锻炼5天，有时一天锻炼几次，所以我需要一块能测量心跳的手表，并且它能满足我所需的功能要求（步数、GPS、音乐等）。我很兴奋找到一个能满足我所有要求的手表，除了不能存储音乐之外。我戴着手表有一些日子了，度过了一些相当重要的时期（4次 Crossfit训练，午餐时间骑了几次山地车，以及在湿草地上冲刺）。这块表表现得很好。使用TomTom my sports的APP将手表上的数据同步到手机和电脑也没有出什么差错。总之，硬件方面，我对这只手表无差评。那么为什么我只给出了3颗星呢？？？
我的老板正在运营一个健康奖励项目，通过每年积极锻炼的健康保险费来赚钱。这个项目是通过Virgin Pulse 来运行的。Virgin Pulse 允许加入任何形式的运动计步器的链接，从Fitbit到jawbone，都是为了记步（为了得分我们需要走很多步数）…唯一的例外似乎是TomTom的产品。我不明白为什么我不能加入TomTom的链接到Virgin Pulse，但并不着急，因为我可以用TomTom MyFitness PAL或STRAVA，这反过来又可以链接到Virgin Pulse。然后我发现了这个跟踪器的一个突出问题。在应用TomTom mysport APP记录步数的时候，它不能像My Fiteness Pal 或者 Strava一样能将数据导出到其他APP上。它只导出一个“活动”。所以，这就非常有趣了。您可以在跑步模式下整天走动，消耗电池，或者记录那些无法导出到其他APP上的运动步数。我发现，更糟的是，当我去看了TomTom的论坛，发现这个问题并没有引起他们的重视，论坛的管理员一直在解释为什么不修复这个问题。管理员提到了一点，他说，没有计步器向APP传送数据的道理：
“你可以在Mysport APP上获得任何你所需要的信息，只需要点击屏幕上方的任务选项卡就可以选择计步的功能，也能看到标记的日、周、月的时间。唯一能够上传到其他网站的数据只有你运动的活动名称，任何运动数据都不在传送范围之内。而这个功能带来的问题就是，标准文件类型没有空间存储运动数据，所以这就要求使用者必须在格式上达成一致，然后调整API以接受它。这就是为什么运动步数只停留在大部分的环境中（你只能在他们的应用程序上查看Fitbit数据。）有时我可以看到数据的下降，但我不确定它对涉及的公司有多大的优先权。”
我以前那只Fitbit没有出现过那种问题，Fitbit拥有这种功能的时间长达两年了，Fitbit的APP会记录运动数据，然后能直接连到Virgin Pluse的APP上。此外，软件GUI还有很多需要改进的地方。谁说手表的外形得长这样？时间的显示设置在分钟的显示上方，日期显示在右上角？你在跟我开玩笑码？另外，你只是设置了它有响铃的功能，但声音只有响亮的哔哔声与振动。不能自主选择改变钟面，声音也不能自定义。任何一个拥有Fitbit的人都知道，手表振动是为了提醒你四点钟起床锻炼的。最后，虽然有秒表，但没有计时器！TomTom你真的是够让人吐槽了！最糟糕的是，当所有问题都被提出以后，论坛的管理者除了寻找借口之外没有做出任何回应，看起来好像是一个人明明在问一些简单的问题，却好像在问老天爷一样，根本得不到任何回应。
正如我所说，硬件是可靠的，值得300美元，但软件方面的缺点使得我并不能打出3颗星以上的星级！
