Review : TomTom Touch
You can see from the photos that this is a fitness band or activity tracker of some sort. You probably already know that there is quite a lot of choice in that area. Yet here we have another one, this time from TomTom with their first foray into this particular format of device. What is…
adidas quits GPS Watches: Leaving TomTom Runner 3/Spark 3 as one of a kind…for now
adidas just announced that it will not be following up the optical HR enabled miCoach SMART Run GPS watch (2013). Essentially it has pulled out of that part of the hardware market. Note: adidas bought Runtastic and its 70million users for about GBP200m last year! It was/is a nice enough watch with music, colour screen and a…
GPS Accuracy: Suunto's SPARTAN SPORT *AND* ULTRA vs TomTom's Runner 3 (Spark 3)
Suunto Spartan Ultra vs. Suunto Spartan Sport vs TomTom Runner 3. Well, you’d expect two identical lines and one that is a bit different wouldn’t you? Two near-identical Suuntos? Not quite.

Suunto SPARTAN ULTRA – GPS Tests for accuracy against Edge 820, TomTom Runner Spark 3, Polar V800 and Garmin 920XT
The main purpose of this test was to put my mind to rest about what seems to be great hardware in the Suunto SPARTAN ULTRA using last week’s firmware v1.1.30. Hopefully my GPS test might, or might not, also allay the fears of some AMBIT 3 users contemplating a Suunto upgrade for Christmas. Backstory: I’ve probably used…
