However, it often took a couple of minutes for it to obtain a signal, which feels like a long time when you're standing in the cold, stretched and ready to run. The GPS receiver is located behind the button so that it's positioned toward the sky. One press is usually all it takes to change an option, metric, or music track while working out. It's big, so it's easy to activate even if you're sweaty or wearing gloves. You can click it at the top, bottom, left, or right to navigate your way around the on-screen interface. TomTom eschews touch-screen control for one large button below the bezel. It uses a simple, watch-style band for a comfortable, snug fit. The strap is made of rubbery silicone that gets sweaty while running or working out, but it's easy to wipe off. The tracker weighs just 1.66 ounces and the face measures 2.7 by 1.5 by 0.5 inches (HWD). A backlight can help you view it in the dark, but you have to cover the display with your hand to activate it, which isn't convenient. And you don't need to keep your eyes glued to it while working out, since it uses small audio and vibration cues to let you know when you've hit your marks. With a 168-by-144 resolution, it looks suitably sharp. The overall design looks somewhat similar to the Pebble Steel ( at Amazon) smartwatch, except not as attractive. I had no trouble viewing the bright, 2-inch monochrome LCD outside in direct sunlight. Color options include combinations of black, blue, pink, purple, or white. All of the trackers are waterproof, and can be submerged up to 130 feet. I tested the $249.99 TomTom Spark Cardio + Music, which includes fitness tracking, GPS, 3GB of music storage, and a heart rate monitor. The $199.99 Spark Music includes fitness tracking, GPS, and 3GB of music storage for use with Bluetooth headphones, but no heart rate monitor. The base model costs $149.99 and includes fitness tracking and GPS, but lacks the heart rate monitor and music storage. Availability DesignThere are three models of the TomTom Spark.
