Hi, Anyone any experience with new Tom Tom HRM and GPS, without chest strap(!). I have veered away from heart rate stats with running but am probably at a stage where I can see its benefits for training. When I saw this watch that measures heart rate through the watch directly I got rather excited - new kit etc. Good write up on DC rainmaker. Wondered what experience real people have had and whether it will load up to Fetch? Cheers, James |

Yes it does. You have to tell the PC app to save the course as a tcx and then import this into Fetch. No worse than what you have to do with a Garmin really. It also works nicely with the iPhone app but then it doesn't upload on the PC (you view it on the app and/or the TomTom site). I had a few issues when it failed to do a firmware upgrade properly but doing it again resolved this. Not happy that I, along with many others apparently, have issues with the upgrade but all is well now. Overall, I really like it. |

I've got the Watch without the HR option On the whole I am happy with it - The automatic upload to However as a watch itself its not as practicle as the Garmins for example - You can only display 3 things at once on the screen and the is no notification per mile or KM - i.e a buzz or vibrate. |
