Tomtom One V8 Firmware
Christal Rasband
The FTZ adapter firmware indeed has an update 1.0 to 1.1, but my only F-mount CPU lenses are D-type (AF with the screwdriver thingy, which the FTZ does not have), so I left it alone. Untill Nikon sells an FTD adapter. Did not know the FTZ had a CPU.
The Lumix S9 is Panasonic's newest full-frame mirrorless camera. It allows users to create their own custom looks for out-of-camera colors and is the first full-frame Lumix camera aimed squarely at social media content creators.
The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. After extensive testing of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose).
The Fujifilm X100VI is the sixth iteration of Fujifilm's classically-styled large sensor compact. A 40MP X-Trans sensor, in-body stabilization and 6.2K video are the major updates, but do they make the camera better?

Note that even though the strap sizes are different, the watch module sizes remain the same. This means everything can be swapped between different straps as you see fit. For example, The Girl could wear the pink strap (smaller), and I could wear the larger strap, and then share the watch pod.
Where I think this feature could be modified to be useful is to shift it towards Weekly/Monthly goals instead. For example, the ability to show a weekly goal of running 30 miles, and then my progress towards that goal.
Finally, Race mode. Race mode enables you to virtually race against past performances on your watch. By default, the unit comes preloaded with a handful of times to race against. These times become displaced as you run and create history within the watch.
Beyond the additional cadence/altitude data fields, the unit works exactly the same as in running. It would be interesting to see TomTom look at adding support for Bluetooth Smart power meters, such as the Stages Power Meter. They would be the only watch out there to do so. Interestingly, only a handful of watches today would even be capable of enabling that scenario, they include the Garmin Fenix, Motorola Motoactv (discontinued), the Leikr GPS (not yet available).
In one example below, I did a roughly 1hr 23m run on a treadmill. I started the TomTom watch at the same moment that the treadmill started moving. And then stopped it at the completion. Because it was a typical hotel gym treadmill, it did forcibly stop me at 60m to reset itself. Thus I have two numbers to add together. I was very good in ensuring that the two distance systems (treadmill and TomTom) were stopped/started at exactly the same time.
Finally, one interesting note is that despite having internal speed and distance, the unit is unable to switch from GPS to accelerometer while in a tunnel. One of my frequent running routes takes me through some tunnels (fairly long in fact), and while other units on the market will switchover automatically to footpods, the TomTom unit will just register zero pace.
The TomTom watch is the 3rd watch on the market to offer Bluetooth Smart compatibility (behind the Motorola Motoactv and the Garmin Fenix). Only the Motorola Motoactv offered any sort of Bluetooth Smart accessory functionality though, as the Fenix solely uses Bluetooth Smart for connecting to phones (the Motoactv did both).
In addition to the backlight, the unit can be used as a day to day watch without any problems. You can swap between 12hr and 24hr time, as well as specify the date and time. It will not by default show the correct time based on time zones and your current location. But, the TomTom software on your computer will however change it to the current computer time when you connect the device.
Hmm, if you have the Edge 800 already, there is something to be said in general about staying within the same platform. One option you could look at is the FR15, which is down to $139ish right now, and the HR strap would work if you have one from the Edge 800.
Yes you can export to Garmin Connect manually, just set it up to sync and save either gpx and/or fit files and then just upload to GC. I have an issue with fit files so I just use gpx files now but works fine.
Question about editing activity names in MySports. I know I can do it in Strava and do but it would be nice to have some ability to edit names on MS to use for easily identifying races to use in training race mode. Has this ever been requested or even possible?
Hi, I need to know wich is the maximum distance that I can use the HR strap separately to the watch, and if I can use the HR strap syncs with cell phone (android 4.3) without the watch, to use apps with HR only?
However, one of the things a running watch has to get right is instant/current pace and the tomtom seems to be outsdone by the garmin. It must be a software issue because the distances and times are corect as well as average pace. But my readings are far off and slow to adjust unless there is a large (i.e
The current pace lag has been a huge issue for me, for pacing tempo runs, intervals, and race starts. The watch appears to smooth over several minutes which is too long to be useful in those situations. While my 310XT updates the pace in 10-15 seconds, or even faster with a foot pod.
I got the Multisport looking for something smaller/lighter than the Garmin for running, and it has delivered on that front. But the pace lag, less flexible lap mode, and more painful upload process are pushing me back to the 310XT. And the pool swim mode has been disappointing as well, with many false laps and no ability to view metrics like SWOLF after the workout.
I have one since they launch it. For he swim it does a decent job but for the treadmill it sucks big time. Never had a good pace that shows up. always too slow. Never got the same distance compare to the treadmill and i train on a treadmill a LOT.
Concern is what do I do with my data if I decide to change to another website and my computer crashes and the downloaded data to my computer is destroyed? Guess the data is stuck on the Tomtom website. How much data will the watch hold?
Thanks for the great review. I decided to go with the multi sport even though I understand the fr920xt is head and shoulders above. Priced at $139.99 these days it is hard to pass up for triathlons, especially when I already own a wahoo blue hr that syncs with this watch.
In other words I would do a 1/2 mile repeat, stop the watch manually, do a 1-lap recovery, then start the stop-watch for another 2-lap repeat, etc. Then after my workout, I want to be able to view the results for all 5 repeats. Do you know how to do this on the TomTom Runner GPS watch?
