Both will available to pre-order on TomTom's site of this morning and will be shipped to your wrist soon. TomTom also promises us they'll be hitting "running speciality" retailers later this month.

TomTom's GPS watches arrive in time for the smartwatch war to kick off; however global head of marketing, Gary Raucher, told TechRadar that despite this TomTom's focus is purely on fitness and not on competing with the likes of Apple, Samsung and Google.
