With 3GB of on-board music storage, the TomTom Spark holds up to 500 songs* in playlists that can be easily transferred from iTunes® or Windows Media®Player. 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.

“We designed TomTom Spark to meet the every-day needs of the any-day athlete,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, President of TomTom, Inc. “By putting music, monitoring and motivation all on your wrist, we removed the tangle of wires and made the entire experience simple and ready-to-go.”

TomTom Spark is the latest in the complete line of TomTom wearable fitness technologies. The 24⁄7 activity tracker continuously logs steps, active minutes, distance, calories burned and sleep duration. TomTom GPS tracking provides real-time information including time, distance, speed and pace. The built-in heart rate monitor accurately tracks heart rate, without the need for a chest strap. Multiple sports modes let users track their activity inside and out, across running, cycling, swimming, treadmill and gym workouts.

Capture every active minute of your day. Sleep, sprints, strolls, steps. Every active minute counts and tracking your moves all day will add up to time, distance and calories burned.
