In loved with this watch!

I initially purchase both the tomtom spark cardio plus music and the polar a360. After one day with the Tomtom I was so frustrated unable to sync it...the software sucks. The polar a360 on the other hand synced within minutes and charged in less than 1hr. :) it took me 15 mints to figure out all the modes and working apps. I LOVE IT! I take it to the gym (cuircuit training, strenth training, swimming, indoor spinning, etc. I take it on walks, runs, hikes and pretty much everywhere!
Polar a360 pros:
Beautiful device, screen and display is colorful and clear. It's waterproof. It alerts me of inactivity, so I can get up and move around which I like because I can get caught up online. Shows me heart rate in training mode (not 100%acurate) but i can live with that. It gives me hear rate zones and calories burned. The app shows me clearly my activity through the day. The watch is simple and easy to use and at the same time very informative when in workout mode. Comfortable and subtle. Counts steps and tracks sleep. I don' t really sleep with it anymore after I learned my sleep patterns.

Cons: the band is not the best, but polar sells more bands to replace it when it's time, so I don't mind it. In fact in the future I will purchase pink and white bands. Does not have GPS.
Finally, I am so happy with it and already see results on my fitness levels and physically it's evident that this watch works for me. I also track intake calories through another app, so it would be nice if polar would integrate meals in the polar flow app!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I did a ton of research prior to making my purchase. I finally could not decide between the tomtom spark and the polar a360. The major seller was the wristHR since I didn't want a strap on my chest. I needed waterproof since I love to go swimming, but I also do many other activities and sports. I didn't need just a step counter. I wanted calories burned, heary rate, activity tracker, workout tracking, waterproof, sturdy, and hear rate zones (fat burning or cardio). I bought both the tomtom spark and polar a360.
The tomtom spark pros and cons
PROS: Beautiful watch, the small fit perfectly for a small pettite girl. The band is study and comfortable. The display and screen are very nice and clear. It has built in HR. Waterproof. I can walk, swin, run, and have gym mode. Counts calories and steps.

CONS: HORRIBLE SOFTWARE. The app wasn't comparible with my brand new tablet (android) I downloaded it to my iphone and spent a full day trying to sync and miserably failed. Without syncing with app this device is just a calorie and step counter completely useless (for me). The next day after purchase I wanted to throw it out the window that's how frustrating this was. I immediately returned it and kept the Polar a360. Shame I really wanted to be like the Spartans. :(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
