Third-party reviews

What customers like about Runtastic Moment Basic

  • Classic analog design that looks like a traditional watch rather than a fitness tracker
  • Long battery life of up to six months using a standard replaceable coin cell battery
  • Waterproof rating up to 100m, making it suitable for swimming and showering
  • Comfortable for all-day wear with a lightweight silicone strap
  • Secondary dial on the watch face provides a quick visual of daily step goal progress

What customers don't like about Runtastic Moment Basic

  • Requires a paid Runtastic/Adidas Premium subscription to unlock many features like historical data and advanced goals
  • Sleep tracking must be activated and deactivated manually via a button press
  • Lacks smartphone notifications and advanced smart features found in competitors
  • Step and distance tracking accuracy can be inconsistent or underestimated
  • The app interface is considered dated and heavily pushes for premium upgrades

Verdict

The Runtastic Moment Basic is a hybrid analog fitness tracker that blends traditional watch aesthetics with activity monitoring for steps, distance, active minutes, calories burned, and sleep cycles. Key specifications include a stainless steel case, scratch-resistant mineral glass, and a waterproof rating of 100 meters (330 feet), making it suitable for swimming and diving. Its standout feature is a replaceable CR2430 battery that lasts up to six months, eliminating the need for regular charging. Main pros include its durable build, long-lasting battery life, and subtle progress indicator on the watch face. However, notable cons include the lack of digital notifications, the requirement for manual sleep mode activation, and some features being restricted behind an app subscription paywall.
