TomTom Adventurer is the sports watch for your snow sports, hiking and trail running

TomTom has added a new model to its line-up of sports watches with the TomTom Adventurer.

As the name suggests, this is a watch for the great outdoors. Built on the foundation of the new TomTom Spark, it uses a similar design to TomTom’s existing line-up of sports watches, but supercharges it. 

With the addition of a barometer to give more accurate information than you’ll get from the GPS alone, the Adventurer doesn’t just track your progress, it gives you 3D distance, taking into account the change in elevation too. 

It offers the route tracking feature that’s just been added to the new TomTom Spark 3, so if you head out into the wilds, you can see a trace on your watch and find your way back to where you started.

There’s the normal optical heart rate sensor on the rear of the body to track your activity, as well as dedicated modes for tracking skiing, snowboarding, hiking and trail running. 

To boost the appeal to skiers and snowboarders, there is automatic lift detection, showing you a summary of your run once you’re sitting down, so you can see your stats on the piste with a glance at your wrist, rather than having to fish out your phone and check an app.

The TomTom Adventurer gets itself a boosted battery, designed to be used over a weekend, as well as the normal water resistance of 40m and a strap that’s rugged. 

The Adventurer isn’t only for outdoor pursuits, however, as it will still offer you things like run tracking for the rest of the year when you’re not hitting the slopes in Morzine.

The TomTom Adventurer will be available in October for £249.99.
