TomTom has finally added splits times to the view, so you can see the duration/pace, speed, and heart rate average of any given kilometre or mile (depending on how your metrics are setup). Load up Dashboard to see a list of activities per month, each of which is clickable to see a graphical breakdown of the activity. Once data has been uploaded to the TomTom MySports site things are a little slow to navigate, but the amount of data on offer is certainly useful - and it's improved many times over the last few months. The presence of app sync is a crucial step forward for the TomTom Multi-Sport, and all of its sportswatch range, as it mean you can ignore plugging into that cradle every day. The Huawei Mate Ascend 7, on the other hand, didn't want anything to do with the application for whatever reason, citing incompatability at this moment in time. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (screen grab image above) we were happily auto-syncing from TomTom to phone via Bluetooth and then to MySports via a mobile data connection, without us needing to do anything. It requires you to set up a workout playlist on iTunes or Windows Media Player which you then sync to your device using the TomTom MySports Connect App. Or, if you have an iOS or Android phone there's also an auto-sync app to make the process all the easier - although it doesn't work with all devices. Uploading is simple via the USB cradle attachment, with TomTom MySports Connect firing into action thereafter. We're talking weeks of activities rather than just a few days, so on board storage is ample before nothing more can be recorded. Rarely did we reach a point where the Multi-Sport sportswatch became full of our activities - but it can happen if you don't sync it to TomTom MySports via the downloaded Mac/Windows app or smartphone auto-sync. We've achieved poor, fair, good, excellent or no recovery, accompanied by a smiley or sad face - but seem to get a different recovery each day. However, when left in play for a couple of minutes, this pause screen will calculate your recovery based on heart-rate. The initial pause screen isn't a single button press, which we find a little irritating for quick stopping of activities - every second counts after all.
