With a few workouts completed, it was back into the device I went. In order to demonstrate things, I went out and got a few workouts on the device first – a blend of runs and bikes, though no swims (because let’s be honest, voluntary non-training-plan pool time was not on my high priority list).

Once the update is done you’ll be able to use the device just like normal. All your settings are saved, so it’s a pretty non-intrusive update. The update process only takes a couple minutes to complete. To get that you’ll simply plug it into your computer and let the TomTom MySports Connect application find the watch and then find the firmware update from TomTom’s servers: I’d say that anyone releasing a new device after this summer that doesn’t have this functionality, won’t have terribly successful sales.įirst, your TomTom unit will need a firmware update to enable this functionality. As I’ve noted previously, this will pretty much become the norm for companies by the end of the year.

Note that this makes for the second company to introduce GPS watch workout to phone synchronization (the first being Garmin, Polar would make for the third upon release of their V800 in April).

I’ll do a quick walk-through of how it works. I’ve been using the app for the past week, giving it a bit of a whirl after recent runs and rides. The intention to release such functionality had been announced back in December, though without a specific timeframe attached to it. Today, TomTom released their phone app for uploading workouts wirelessly from the TomTom Runner and Multisport units to your phone.
