TOMTOM TOUCH: Track What You’re Made of, Not Just Your Steps
TomTom Touch is a new slim, stylish and easy to use fitness tracker that not only tracks efforts such as steps and calories burned, but also lets the user see the effect of these efforts on their body. TomTom Touch measures body composition (ratio of body fat to muscle mass) to provide a better picture of a person’s overall fitness. Changes in body composition over a period of time illustrates real progress towards users’ fitness goals, in a way that solely tracking steps or stairs never could. Users get a measurement of their body composition with the touch of a button* on the device.
Body composition provides a better understanding of fitness levels and how it changes over time. TomTom Touch is the most complete fitness tracker as it also gives users the ability to track sleep and heart rate up to five days at a time.
