What is the difference between TomTom Runner Cardio and TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio?

Agreed with David. Just to clarify one point, you can select the activity, running, biking swimming etc. type before you start. The activity types is then uploaded with the activity. Great product BTW, love mine.

The Multi-sport comes with a bike mount and is capable of syncing up with the optional (not included) bike cadence/speed meter, but otherwise they are essentially the same as far as the hardware goes. The Multi-sport software on the watch also has selections to separate out running times/paces/etc. from cycling and swimming.

It does but only for distance. It stated all sport but there is only one setting (running). The only thing I don't like about it. I would use my 205 settings for all the different sports; hiking, biking, running etc. so I am missing that feature a bit.

This watch is not a multi-sport watch. It is specifically designed for runners/running. I looked at the multi-sport watches prior to buying this one and they were much more expensive.

I had the same question myself. I received both the heart monitor and speed/cadence sensor as a gift, so I kept both. The only thing I noticed is that the speed sensor captures speed right away and accurately while gps speed sensor lags on occasions

The watch has two stop watch / chromo functions for timing your workouts. I have been disappointed with the heart rate function

According to the manufactures' page "In addition to Run, you can also select Treadmill and Stopwatch, neither of which activates the Cardio's GPS radio, and instead relies on the accelerometer and heart rate monitor."Here is a link to the page, if you would like to know more:http://www.tomsguide.com/us/tom-tom-runner-cardio,review-2184.html

Yep. Once you setup your watch, it will give you the option to select which application you would like to export data too. I have mine set to MapMyFiness(same as MapMyRun, but allows me to check their other apps like MapMyRide,MapMyWalk, ect.)and Strava and they both work great. You since the watch via connecting straight to computer or through bluetooth moblie device. I'm using an iPhone 4s and it works great. I only plug my watch in now to recharge battery and download firmware updates. It's so convenient with the Bluetooth connection. Forgot to mention you will need to download the free TomTom MySports app on your mobile device to sync your watch to via bluetooth. After a workout you will then sync your watch to the TTMS app and it will update your account. Once your TTMS account has been updated it will automatically send that same workout info to your other apps. (MapMyRun, Strava, ect.)

It doesn't have a tri mode. And if you do any races longer than 3 hours the battery will die anyway:-(. It's a pretty watch but not effective for multi-sport, get the garmin!

It tracks steps. That is what it use when on treadmill mode (haven't tested it). From some manual: "...treadmill capabilities. The TomTom utilizes an internal accelerometer to measure pace and distance indoors without the use of GPS. It does this by evaluating arm swing and cadence to determine pace". On one of your exported sport sites, like mysports.tomtom.com, you can see stats like "STRIDES / min". Also, for bikes, there is an external sensor you can buy.

I bought the 260 and can recommend it (although later Garmin changed the interface to the 2x5 series ... which may or may not be a positive). My new 765t doesn't route me any better than my 260 did (it just has a few bells and whistles that I liked and needed ... lane assist for one). I've never owned a TomTom, so I cannot compare the two.

This is from the TomTom description of the TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio with Cadence Sensor and Altimeter :Cycling and SwimmingIf you use your TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio while cycling, there are two ways you can measure your heart rate.1. If you are wearing the watch on your wrist, you can use the built-in Heart Rate Monitor.2. If you place the watch module in the bike dock, you will need a separate Heart Rate Monitor chest strap accessory.It is not possible to measure your heart rate while swimming.

If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305. I have been through multiple devices and many discussions with Tech support who basically informed me that this function (along with the calorie functions) are useless on the Forerunner 305. Apparently, it is Garmin's GPS based elevation data which is not as accurate as the barometric data reported by other devices. This was a surprise to me as I had thought the opposite would have been true. Unfortunately not. I run/ride exclusively in the mountains and I'm very dissapointed to say the least. The standard speed, distance, time, and heart rate functions all work fine. Hope this helps. If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305.

The difference between the TC10 and the TC20 is more or less based on user preference. They both have the same three-in-one motion and are both low impact workouts, but keep in mind that the TC20 does offer more workout programs, tracking technology, and a heart rate monitor. Not only that, but the TC20 also offers a year longer warranty making it 3 years compared to the 2 years that comes with the TC10, as well as 4 inches longer treadle belts to accommodate for a longer stride. If you do not think you would utilize those additional features, then the TC10 would still guarantee you results if you use it at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes each time.

Check my full review for all the details, but the quick answer is that the two units are fairly equal with each having some options the other doesn't. The Garmin supports (some) voice commands which the TomTom does not. The TomTom has daily map updated through its user community and Red Light Camera alerts that the Zumo does not. You need to look at the full specs for both units and see which one best fits your needs. Full disclosure - I run a Garmin Zumo 660 on my primary motorcycle and the TomTom on the wife's bike.

I just bought the Mio c230. I've yet to use it, but it had the best combination of features in that price range. The TomTom 1 3rd edition was the easist to use, but it doesn't have text to speech, something I'm betting I'll be glad I got. After all, whatever ease you lose setting it, you gain by having the steet names spoken. I'd be interested to see what other people think.

Depends what you want it for.The name should answer your question. The Forerunner is for running. The Fenix is primarily for hiking and other outdoor navigation. It will do the running stuff too. but the Forerunner may have more "fitness" features -- the ads say it's "like having a coach." The Fenix probably has more "outdoor" features (e.g., altimeter-barometer-compass).
