I can go running without my phone!

Posted by: Lisa
I had previously purchased the Adidas Smart Run (approximately same price) to track my running. I had about two weeks, and exchanged for the TomTom Spark w/ Music, and and glad I did. Here's a summary of my first impressions with the Spark:
Pros:
-GPS is very accurate!!!!
-GPS locks on quickly.
-Auto upload data to favorite running apps.
-Much smaller than Smart Run. Not the most attractive device, but it wouldn't be uncomforatble to wear all day.
-Waterproof
-Good battery life (so far)

Cons:
-Rubber wristband, would have preferred silicone.
-No auto-stop feature for when you stop at a stoplight, for example. Strava, and possible other apps, does correct for this, though.
-Headphone connection cuts out when wearing on left wrist.

I have Jaybird Bluebuds X2 wireless headphones. They work great with watch, I can wear on either wrist with no signal problems. Quite pricey, but the sound quality is fantastic.

TomTom Special Edition Runner GPS Watch: Increase your running stamina with this watch, which offers interval and treadmill training with a digital partner. Water resistance up to 165' allows use in aquatic environments or rainy weather.
Does this watch (TomTom special edition RUNNER) show speed in mph?
I am looking for a watch for running but it would also be nice to be able to use it on my bike to measure my speed in mph (not pace in min/mile). Can anyone confirm that it will show me speed? I know the TomTom multisport shows speed, but I am asking specifically for the Runner model. Thanks!

Is this the same watch as the TomTom Spark Cardio + Music
The naming is slightly different, so I'm trying to determine if this is the same watch as advertised on the TomTom website http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/sports/fitness-watches/gps-watch-music-cardio-spark/sky-captain-scuba-blue-large/?icmp=2015-Nov-Sports-SparkXmas-banner-2
Except for the wrist band color.

When running, do you have to have your phone with you too?
In other words, does phone need to be in close proximity? Purchased a Pebble SmartWatch tonight at Target but it syncs with phone and you have to run with phone and watch. Trying to find a solution where the phone is not needed for running.
You can leave your phone at home! The TomTom Spark has GPS, music, and heart rate monitor. I sync all data with my phone afterwards. You can set up to automatically upload to other apps, as well (e.g., Strava, MapMyRun, etc).
