What's new
Fitness Age
TomTom Fitness Age is an indication of how well your body functions physically, relative to how
well it should work, based on things like your heart rate during activities, maximum and resting
heart rates, activity, gender, age, height and weight.
The more effective activity you do, the better your Fitness Age becomes. Start working on your
Fitness Age by earning Fitness Points. You earn Fitness Points when you record your activity on a
TomTom Sports watch with heart rate monitoring.
To learn more, go to Fitness Age in this manual.

private storage of all your activity data. The Sports Cloud also provides computing power for
things like body composition calculations, progress and trends. To learn more, please visit

Using multiple devices
There is no limit to the number of TomTom Sports devices you can own. A TomTom Sports device
can be linked to one user account only.
You can sync multiple devices one at a time using your computer and then all your activity data is
shown in the app for your Sports account.
When you set your Profile settings they are shared between all devices linked to your user account,
as well as device specific settings for individual devices.
You can add a new TomTom Sports device or remove a linked device from the TomTom Sports App
or account at any time when you are using the app.
Note: You can only remove a Sports device by performing a factory reset. This will stop the
device from syncing with the account. However, the Sport device stays linked to the account
until it is linked to a different email address.
Using the Sports App with no internet connection
