The TomTom Runner Cardio very much yells “sports watch” with its bright white and red (but changeable) strap, whereas the adidas miCoach SmartRun is more subtle and sleek with a black strap and brushed metal detailing.īoth units are of a similar size and shape in general although the subtle curve to the back of the SmartRun meant it felt more comfortable quickly. Round 1: Look & Feelīoth TomTom and adidas have done well to move away from the Casio-inspired styling of many other GPS watches on the market resulting in two good-looking watches. So for the last few weeks I’ve been “Two Watch Wymer” and here’s how the two watches have squared up to each other. Having never used a running watch before the SmartRun, being asked to test the TomTom Runner Cardio was a great opportunity to not only provide feedback on a new product but also have something to compare to my beloved SmartRun. It was a slightly bumpy start for the SmartRun but I patiently fed back to adidas and was invited to join a user test group that has helped to smooth out some of the rough edges. The miCoach app has helped me to train and secure PBs over the last 3 years so when I heard that adidas were releasing a watch that would not only have GPS but a built-in HR monitor, I knew I would eventually have one on my wrist.
When I started running seriously a few years ago I tracked my running using phone apps, settling for adidas miCoach after a brief spell of using Nike+. Having used the adidas miCoach SmartRun watch for the last 9 months it was a great opportunity to put them head-to-head. Last month I was selected to be part of a Running Bug team to put the new TomTom Runner Cardio watch to the test.
