TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch

TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch: precise pulse measuring without chest strap!

Navigation specialist TomTom offers the Runner Cardio, a GPS sport watch for running, which is excellent for ambitious starters as well as advanced users. As a great highlight, the pulse is not measured by a separately required chest strap but directly via the TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch on the wrist. Technically seen, LED sensors and an electro-visual lens detect the blood flow through the capillaries and so your pulse. This kind of pulse measuring is as precise as a common heart rate measuring with a chest strap according to the Stiftung Warentest.
In addition, many running enthusiasts praise the higher training comfort - explained by not having to use a chest strap. You are always informed about your (resting) pulse while exercising and throughout daily life with the pulse measuring on the wrist.

The TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch offers a pulse controlled zone training for effective training control. The sport watch informs you at which speed your stamina is trained or rather fat is burnt. By means of an acoustic, visual or haptic feedback, you always know whether you should increase or reduce your training according to your training target. The race function is a motivating training program - you run against yourself, i.e. one of your own former runs.

As GPS sport watch, the TomTom Runner Cardio presents all standards of its type: All information regarding the distance, time, (average) speed, pace as well as burnt calories is clearly indicated on an extra-big display in real time.

Offering the treadmill function, the TomTom Runner Cardio sport watch also considers training sessions at home or at a gym!

By the way, the TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch is not only a sport watch for running in the open air. It is also suitable for training on a treadmill at home or at a gym thanks to the function "indoor running". The advantage of this double function is that you always have your achieved training results on one data medium - the TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch. And that's how the indoor function works: When you run on a treadmill, the watch registers how often and how fast you move your arms forwards and backwards. This corresponds to the number of steps while running. The watch uses your height to calculate the stride length and determines from it the covered distance and the pace. You can also calibrate the watch with the treadmill for more precise distance measuring.

Using the TomTom Runner Cardio GPS sport watch is quite simple and can be controlled via a single button, which can be used in four directions. After only a short period of time, you get to know the intuitive menu navigation. The connection to the company TomTom portal "My Sports" is also quite easy. Via Bluetooth Smart or the provided USB docking station, training data is updated easily, before being analysed in detail and shared with friends.
