Third-party reviews

What customers like about Runtastic Moment Classic

  • Elegant analog watch design that disguises its fitness tracking capabilities
  • Exceptional battery life of approximately six months using a standard watch battery
  • No charging required, unlike typical smartwatches
  • Waterproof up to 100 metres (300 feet), making it suitable for swimming
  • Integrated progress dial on the watch face allows for quick goal checks
  • Includes a vibration motor for silent alarms and inactivity alerts
  • Uses premium materials like a stainless steel case and genuine leather straps
  • Stores up to seven days of activity data offline before requiring a sync

What customers don't like about Runtastic Moment Classic

  • Many essential features (long-term history, advanced goals) are locked behind a paid subscription
  • Sleep tracking must be activated manually by holding a button, which is considered dated
  • Lacks smartphone notifications (no alerts for texts or app messages)
  • Step and distance accuracy can be inconsistent or less precise than GPS-enabled devices
  • No built-in heart rate monitor or GPS
  • Some users reported issues with timekeeping accuracy and connectivity over time
  • The companion app is described as basic and frequently prompts for premium upgrades

Verdict

The Runtastic Moment Classic is a 42mm hybrid smartwatch featuring a polished stainless steel case, scratch-resistant mineral glass, and a genuine leather strap. It operates as a traditional analog timepiece while tracking steps, distance, active minutes, and calories, with a dedicated sub-dial indicating progress toward daily activity goals. Key pros include its elegant, non-digital aesthetic, 100-meter water resistance, and a long-lasting replaceable coin cell battery that provides approximately six months of power without charging. However, it lacks a heart rate sensor and built-in GPS, does not provide digital smartphone notifications, and requires manual activation to begin sleep tracking.
