Amazon deal of the day. Seems a decent price for a GPS running watch.

No HR monitor strap included. Cold from me

seriously, care to link a watch with heart rate and strap included for £49.

So pick the version with a HR strap for £85. The straps are normally more than £35!
I think it's a good deal for an older model watch. If what you want is to stop having to carry your phone on a run and still get a GPS track then go for it!

I've just replaced mine after 18 months. TomTom have just replaced the phone software, which was just getting stable on Android. Some Android users with Marshmallow are still complaining that they can't sync with their phone.
I sent my first watch back as it became really inaccurate (3km registered as 800m) and the watch they sent back still had the details of the previous runner on it! If you do go for this watch (I think it's a good price) then check if there are any details stored on the watch and do a factory reset

The TomTom Cardio was £60 last year, brand new, so I agree with Sinxa.
I'd pay the extra and get a newer runner with HRM, it's well worth it. The Runner 3 / Spark 3 are brilliant.

For what it's worth, if the heart rate monitor is the type that uses light rather than electrical activity, it's wildly inaccurate. Good if you like a gimmick.
where on that page does it say it's the 3? I suspect its the older model at that price but would be delighted to be wrong.

The HRM on the TomTom watches is pretty much as accurate as a chest strap actually. It's no gimmick.

That's not the Spark 3 it's the original Spark... Still a great price, way better deal than this post.

Its the spark model, or runner 2, i don't know why it shows on the link spark 3 cardio. But if you open it, it will take you to the spark music + cardio. Couldn't be happier with it.

No Time machine? No ****.
Pay the extra 40 quid and get a Spark Cardio and music.
Never buy a tomtom product. I followed their instructions to the letter on a recommended update and it killed my satnav - they refused to repair so I will do what i promised them I would do and warn people at every opportunity.
