TomTom, The Dutch company has launched a new range of GPS sports watches especially suitable for runners, cyclists and swimmers. The TomTom Runner and TomTom Multi-Sport watches feature an extra-large display full-screen graphical tools and the one-button control to make it easier for users to access the information needed for goal achievement.
“We know that most GPS watches on the market are too bulky and complicated to use while training” said Corinne Vigreux, managing director, TomTom Consumer. “Just as we developed easy-to-use navigation products that changed the way that people move from A to B, we have developed a range of ultra-slim GPS sport watches that are far more comfortable to wear and far easier to use. Runners and multi-sport athletes can now view their performance information at-a-glance, making it easier to achieve their fitness goals.”
