My Sports Equipment Show Part Two: TomTom Runner3 Sports Watch Unpacking

Saying that before this, the Jabra Sport Pulse Bluetooth heart rate wireless sports headset + mobile phone is basically my out of the sports equipment to meet the needs of real-time heart rate monitoring + listening to music, but running with a mobile phone is always feeling tired, before reading this site The "Light Year" article on children's shoes tells TomTom that he has a heart rate monitor + GPS+ music player watch and he has begun to grow grass and join the wish list. Finally he finally got his wish.

The Runner3 was a new model released at the end of last year. Compared with Spark, it has added an electronic compass to achieve path exploration and navigation functions. The heart rate version and heart rate + music version are on the market.

Out of the box

This form was brought back from Hong Kong and there was more Bluetooth headset than Jingdong.

There is a wrist width comparison diagram at the back of the box. If it is on-site purchase, you can also compare whether you want L code or S code. In fact, boys choose L code is basically right, S code is only suitable for girls with special wrists.

The product family portrait, in addition to watches and headphones, there are dedicated charging cable, straps and different sizes of earplugs and documentation, but the instructions in the package are very simple, detailed instructions have to download their own official website.

The watch body, the screen size 22*25 mm, the resolution 144*168, the square appearance is different from the disc design that Jia Ming commonly uses.

The operation keys are four-dimensional keys, one for each of up, down, left, and right directions, and the central receiver is not a button but a GPS receiver.

The main body of the watch is directly stuck on the strap. Press and hold the position of the GPS receiver to push the body out of the strap.

The Runner3 uses an optical heart rate monitor, which uses the German OSRAM photoelectric heart rate monitoring technology and the heart rate sensor chip on the back of the watch.

The feel of the outside of the strap resembles that of a rubbery skin.

The inner side should be plastic, soft in texture, with many fine holes on it, and not too sticky after sweating.

Runner3 needs to use the special data cable that comes with it, whether it is charging or even transferring data from the computer. The data line has a buckle on it. After being fastened, you can start charging or transmitting data. At this time, the watch body can also stand up.

Bluetooth headset hanging design, cable is not long. In addition, I have tried Runner3 can even ordinary Bluetooth speakers.

The three control buttons can control the volume, play/pause and switch the previous/next header, etc., similar to the general Bluetooth sports headset.


Functional experience

The first time you need to use the language (support Simplified Chinese) and enter the user information including height, weight, age, gender, etc., these will skip it, the main interface of the watch is the current date and time, large font design comparison Intuitively, the icon in the lower left corner can show the completion of the moving target, the playing of music, the setting of the alarm clock or the synchronization with the mobile phone.

Press the left button to open the activity tracking screen. The day and the week's movement data includes the number of steps. The activity time, energy consumption, etc. can all be seen here. The target of the activity can be set by itself. The default target is 4 km per day.

Press the up button to open the music menu. This is the first step to set the Bluetooth headset to be searchable. After the watch is connected to the headset, you can select a song list and play the music. In the music menu page, press the button to control the playback/ Pause and switch the previous/next song, and the volume control still needs to operate on the headset, and the song name and progress can be seen in the play interface.

Pressing the down button on the home screen will open the setup menu. There are a total of ten items that can be set. Here you can also see the remaining battery power, song storage space usage and QuickGPS update reminder. QuickGPSfix is ​​used to help the watch quickly lock the exact position in order to start activities faster and extend battery life. To update the QuickGPSFix information on the watch you need to connect the watch to a computer with TomTom MySports Connect software, where QuickGPSFix information is downloaded after the third Valid within the day, the check mark on the right of QuickGPS indicates that the current QuickGPSFix information is the latest version.

The backlight of the watch is turned off by default. After the palm is held on the screen for half a second, the screen will turn on for about four seconds and then go out. There is a night mode switch in the setting. If the backlight turns on, the night mode is on. When you enter the active mode, the backlight will remain on, the power consumption will be faster, and the backlight can be turned off only when you exit the activity. Therefore, unless you are moving in a very dark place, it is not recommended to open it.

Different modes can be selected for different activities, and different modes will have different motion data. When you choose to run, bike or freestyle, the watch will use the built-in GPS receiver to measure speed and record the course of motion. In swimming mode, heart rate monitoring cannot be used. The watch uses its built-in motion sensor to measure swimming strokes and the number of round trips. This information is used to estimate speed and distance, but this will not be possible until summer.

Mentioned earlier, Runner3's electronic compass, in order to ensure accuracy, the best first calibration before use, the calibration method is to rotate the watch horizontal, vertical and clockwise three times, after the completion of the calibration will be prompted to complete.


Hands-on experience

When the watch is in active mode, the optical heart rate sensor on the back is blinking. The sensor measures the change of blood flow through the light. The light emitted by the bald head passes through the skin and shines on the capillaries under the skin, and detects the changing light reflection. Therefore, the watch cannot be worn too loosely, and it is generally preferable to insert the finger into the finger. .

The watch screen is only black and white, and it can be clearly seen outdoors in the sun.

Before starting to enter the sports state, the watch will first detect the heart rate, and the GPS will begin to search for the star position. The Runner3 needs about 10 seconds to search for stars in the new outdoor location, and it takes three seconds to search for the stars in the vicinity of the previously located place. about. When the watch normally receives heart rate information and GPS information, the exercise can be officially started.

In motion, I tried running and cycling. The watch screen was divided into three areas. The top status bar (probably called it) can see the GPS signal, heart rate detection status and battery power, etc. The main information in the middle can be Press the up/down button to switch. The information including heart rate, average speed, distance, etc. can be adjusted to the middle screen, while the bottom is fixed to display the duration and distance of movement.

Instant heart rate information.

The aforementioned electronic compass, which can indicate directions in the movement, can use all the GPS activities to draw breadcrumb trails, and then can see the route overview and direction on the screen. Although this feature phone APP has long been, but now The watch also did it.


TomTom MySports Connect Software

Before synchronizing data with your watch, you need to first install a software on your computer. Of course, you need to register your account and bind your watch. The watch is connected to the computer USB and charging begins. Since there is no light on the watch, the charge status is displayed directly on the screen.

The PC version of TomTom MySports Connect software interface is quite simple, when the watch is inserted will automatically synchronize data, including uploading sports data, update QuickGPSfix information and so on, the entire process takes about 20 seconds.

In addition, the charge status can also be seen in the software.

The playlist can be updated in the TomTom MySports Connect software. About 3GB of space is available for music on the watch. The playback format supports both MP3 and ACC.

The PC version of TomTom MySports Connect software is just an entry point. More functions need to be jumped to the webpage through the software. The main page of the webpage will show the latest information after the synchronization data.

The previous activity data can be seen here.

After opening the activity data into the details, you can see the data including the movement distance, time, pace, and heart rate. In addition, the movement trajectory will be displayed on the map. This is a map of Gao De.

The map can be switched to satellite map mode and no track drift is found.

Here you can save the previous trajectory and upload it to your watch. You can also download the GPX trajectory file on a third-party website and upload it to your watch.


to sum up

The first time with a sports watch, talk about feelings. First of all, the watch bears some of the functions that had to be achieved in conjunction with mobile phones in the past, including music playback, route exploration, and path navigation, etc., which generally satisfy the needs of lightweight travel. The four-dimensional key design is suitable for single-finger operation and is relatively easy to use. Even if the operation is running, there is no problem. In addition, the basic GPS search will not exceed 10 seconds, under normal circumstances, 3 seconds to complete the positioning.

Also to talk about the lack of place, because the watch surface is not surrounded by a raised protection design, so if you do not pay attention to the use of the bump will scratch the surface. In addition, the sleep monitoring function is simple, and deep sleep and light sleep cannot be monitored, and only the total sleep time is recorded. In addition, if night mode is turned on, if you enter the active mode with the backlight turned on, the backlight will remain on and the power consumption will be faster, but you cannot turn off the backlight without interrupting the activity recording. This is not enough. Humanize.
