Watch Showdown

Has anyone come across a fairly current showdown between a Garmin 920, Polar v800 and TomTom Multi-sport?
I’ve never owned such a device but I’m very interested. It’s a big investment so it would be good to see all the pros and cons in one place.

I have the tom tom and it’s great in the summer but in the winter it doesn’t work too well as it has to be on skin and thus cannot be worn over a base layer.

I own a TomTom MS - it doesn’t belong in the same discussion as the other two watches. It’s okay - but missing significant features. Upgrading to the Ambit 3 soon.

I have a TomTom MS too and completely agree, just forget it. For triathlon I’d choose between the 920, V800 and Ambit 3. My choice was the V800. It is a work in progress, but I’m very happy with what has been delivered so far.
