TomTom adds to its fitness wearables portfolio in North America with the announcement of a line of new and distinctive devices:

“TomTom once again stands out in the wearables market by offering unique feature-rich products at competitive prices, leveraging our heritage in GPS and map technology,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc. “Our goal is to change people’s lives by empowering movement with intuitive and easy to use devices.

TOMTOM TOUCH: Track What You’re Made of, Not Just Your Steps

TomTom Touch is a new slim, stylish and easy to use fitness tracker that not only tracks efforts such as steps and calories burned, but also lets the user see the effect of these efforts on their body. TomTom Touch measures body composition (ratio of body fat to muscle mass) to provide a better picture of a person’s overall fitness. Changes in body composition over a period of time illustrates real progress towards users’ fitness goals, in a way that solely tracking steps or stairs never could. Users get a measurement of their body composition with the touch of a button* on the device.

Body composition provides a better understanding of fitness levels and how it changes over time. TomTom Touch is the most complete fitness tracker as it also gives users the ability to track sleep and heart rate up to five days at a time.

TOMTOM SPARK 3 GPS Fitness Watch: Now Includes Route Exploration

Building on the popularity and credentials of its predecessor, TomTom Spark 3 Cardio + Music Bundle GPS Fitness Watch now has a slimmer, sleeker profile and comes equipped with Route Exploration, in addition to a built-in heart rate monitor and on-board music player. Multiple sports modes let users track their activity for running, cycling, swimming, treadmill and gym workouts.

Route Exploration allows runners to plan and upload up to 15 routes to their watch from TomTom MySports and platforms such as Strava, providing the freedom to explore new places. Every time athletes hit the road, their GPS trace is displayed on the watch allowing them to find their way back to the start. This useful feature is ideal for blazing new trails or for exploring new cities.

With 3GB of on-board music storage, the TomTom Spark 3 holds up to 500 songs**, and they are easily transferred to the device from playlists users create from iTunes® or Windows Media® Player. The included wireless Bluetooth® headphones enable users to cut-the-cord to intrusive and cumbersome wires while listening to music and getting real-time progress updates from the voice coach.
