Wahoo TICKR FIT Heart Rate Armband, Bluetooth, ANT+

I was after a specific heart rate monitor and the Wahoo TICKR armband is spot on. It’s incredibly light and the strap is so soft and really comfortable to wear - so much so that I completely forget I’ve got it on. I use it with my Garmin Edge 850 outdoors and Rouvy indoors, and connecting to both was super easy. It’s also been brilliant with sweat - no issues at all during harder sessions or longer rides. Battery life is really impressive and lasts for a number of rides, so I don’t have to worry about constantly charging it. Plus, you can easily keep track of the battery in the Wahoo app, which is really helpful. Overall I’m really pleased with the TICKR and would happily recommend it.

Brilliant. So much more comfortable than a chest strap. Use it on my indoor bike so cannot say if it would work loose when running. Paired to my phone for pass-through to Zwift. Holds a charge for ages.

I’ve had this heart rate monitor since March 2019, over 5 years and I use it for running 2-3 times a week. In that time, it’s mostly worked faultlessly and I’ve never had any issues with it until recently. It connects straight away to my Garmin 955 watch and stays connected for as long as I need it to. I hardly ever charge it as the battery lasts forever. It’s comfortable and I pay no attention whatsoever to where I wear it. I usually have it on my upper arm and never have any issues. It works equally well no matter how I position it or how tight the strap is or isn’t. I also use it on my Watt bike and it also connects without issue. The only issue I have is that after all of this use, the arm strap is starting to fray now and separate, making it harder to adjust. I’ve also started to notice some inconsistencies over the past few weeks so I’m now thinking of replacing it with something newer. When I came back to the listing to look at recent comments, I was really surprised to see other reviewers having so many issues. I previously owned a Polar H10 chest strap and it only lasted a few months before it stopped connecting and was much less convenient to wear. Maybe I was lucky with my TIKR, maybe others were unlucky but I simply can’t fault this monitor over the last 5 years. I am however wondering if recent models have changed and are not so good?

The only downside to this product - as mentioned by other users - is that there sometimes is a lag to HR changes which leads to inaccuracies. I haven’t had this lag on runs, but on any cardio / strength workouts it can be up to 2 minutes. HOWEVER - I still prefer this to a chest strap and despite owing two different (and very accurate) chest straps I only use this one now. Reasons behind this being - it’s much faster to put on, it’s so comfortable you don’t even notice it, the lag doesn’t happen all the time and I am happy o sacrifice 20 calories counted for the comfort of the strap. I love the fact that it is rechargeable and it comes with two separate straps. I’ve had no issues with the straps either - they seem durable and good quality. I’d recommend this over a chest strap unless you are hyper-OCD over accuracy

Didn’t like having to put a cold chest heart rate strap on, this is so much better. Seems to be accurate and works really well with Zwift, Elite Justo smart trainer and Garmin Fenix. The fact it’s rechargeable is also very convenient rather than fiddling around with tiny batteries. I wear it just below my elbow and generally stays put although during extra sweaty rides it has slipped just a couple of times but is easy to adjust if necessary. Ive read it works just as well above the elbow as well although I haven’t tried this yet. Recommended.

I reluctantly purchased this TICKR FIT due to others reported issues with the quality of the strap. I've use this for indoor turbo training 4 times per week for the past 2 months and the strap is showing no signs of wear. Other than that, the unit works as expected, it's accurate and it's rechargeable so no need to keep a stock of batteries as with the chest strap TICKR. The unit is not quite as quick to respond to changes in heart as the chest strap version, however that is because it uses an optical sensor as opposed to electrical signals that most chest strap heart rate monitors use to measure pulse, including the TICKR. Overall, I recommend this especially if you do not want to have to wash the strap as I have to do with the TICKR chest strap version, which starts to smell after a couple of vigorous workouts.

So much better than the sweaty under-moob chest straps that are more commonly available. Easy to slip on to the forearm, battery life is great. I’d say my only criticism is that the charging dock is dedicated for use by this device, so DON’T LOSE IT! Its USB so no problem finding somewhere to plug that in these days. Comes with a spare strap which i’ve not had to use yet. Cost is up there but its a quality bit of kit. I think you should treat yourself to the best 😃👍

I own the Polar OH1 and prefer this one. The OH1 tends to flip over due to it's shape. It also locked onto a heart rate when i was spinning for no reason i could fathom several times. This one fits better and has excellent battery life, i've not charged it since itv arrived and have used it dozens of times. My only criticism is that when you turn it on the light only comes on after you release the power button so it's guesswork how long you need to hold it down for it to power up. it would have been cool to have it show your heart rate zone by a coloured led which my old Mio heart rate monitor could do. I pair mine with a garmin 935 and it connects with no problems.

Ottimo prodotto però nel mio caso, parlo della mia esperienza da neofita di fitness per le uscite in E-bike se persa ogni volta 3-4 volte associazione con il Garmin, non so se dovuta a una connessione tramite Bluethoo del telefono perchè mi trovassi in mezzo a palazzi edifici e perdeva la connessione segnale ,o perchè su E-Bike e Cyclette parlo sempre ovviamente del mia esperienza sarà che muoveno di continuo il braccio sia su E-Bike e Cyclette non e tanto affidabile si perde assocciazione ogni volta devo fermarmi più volte per associarlo anche avendo la carica batteria al 60-70% cosa che non mai successo con fascie cardio anche modelli molto economici che le attacchi sotto il petto anche facendo molto movimenti su Cyclette ed E-Bike sempre associato connesso. Ovviamente ripeto un ottimo prodotto lo lavo sotto acqua corrente fredda dopo ogni uso la fascia sola ovviamente, però anche se ho notato all' inizio che lo accende dopo il led blu lampeggiante si connette subito se apro opzione nel menù esempio bicicletta su Garmin oppure opzione cardio o ancora passeggiate vedo subito il simbolo icona del cuore indipendentemente dalla ricezione del satellite per E-Bike o passeggiate subito si connette il cuore diventa subito fisso che non lampeggia ma fisso stabile . Infatti alterno spesso le due fascie cardio + il bracciale alterno questi 3 pezzi a passeggiate all'esterno , o E-Bike o Cyclette , e tutto sommato mi trovo bene ovviamente se so che dovrei fare Cyclette oppure E-bike per un associazione piu affidabile e piu stabile userò fascie cardio semplicemente perchè muovendomi di continuo , e non mi va di associarli ogni volta . Parlo del bracciale cardio , ovviamte con bracciale indossarlo una volta scelto la misura del bracciale si fa molto più rapidamente ,indossarlo a differenza delle fascie cardio che ti devi spogliare per indossarle+ metti gel per elettrodi per una connessione più rapida e precisa. Aggiungo questo lo provata più volte dopo vari attività fisiche non si disconnette più era semplicemente un caso sporadico , figuratevi nei giorni feriali che dopo attività fisiche che svolgo circa un oretta all'alba da lunedi al venerdi preferisco 1000 volte i due bracciali cardio il Coros e Wahoo fit semplicemete perche non devi metttere il gel, le indossi e togli subito, il lavaggio dopo ogni utilizzo e molto più rapido e poi sia questa Wahoo fit che Coros sono molto precise ed affidabili , la differenza con le fasce e semplicemente a parte il sistema che le fasce possiedono che ECG , e i bracciali hanno il sistema a Led e vi e una discrepanza da 1 a 3 % quindi minima a fine attività tra ciclismo oppure camminata moderata elevata le calorie attive , totali a riposo , Bpm la frequenza cardiaca ecc non si nota nemmeno questa minima minima differenza

The battery dies even when I don't use it. So, if I don't keep it connected to the charger, it's not charged when I want to use it. Need to edit: After 2 years of use, it was really bad, so I decided to write to Wahoo support. I requested at least a new charge cable to have extra one home and other work, because the battery was not enough to get to and from work. Wahoo support was so kind that they sent a new one, and after 30 days, charged once upon receipt, it still has 68% used around 25 hours. Either it was an improvement, or my previous one was defective; it wasn't like that from the beginning, so I think I should updade here my review.

the wahoo trickr fit, works well, connects instantly to the wahoo App and is made of good qulaity material. There is a replacement armband included and a USB charing port.

Utilisé avec l'application Runtastic Pro, c'est vraiment l'accessoire parfait que j'espérais. Une mesure précise du cardio, beaucoup moins dérangeant qu'une ceinture. Tiens bien malgré la transpiration, les batteries tiennent de nombreuses heures ( j'estime à 8-10h meme si je n'attends pas aussi longtemps pour le recharger entre 2 entrainements). Aucun raté depuis que je l'utilise, j'ai hésité un peu à cause du prix, mais ça les vaut vraiment...

Für das Training auf einem Fahrradindoor Trainer über die App Zwift nutze ich regelmäßig einen Brustgurt für die Herzfrequenz, weil darüber auch der Ventilator gesteuert wird. Je höher der Puls ist, umso mehr leistet auch der Ventilator. Da ich mit Wahoo sowohl mit dem Kickr Rollen-Trainer, als auch mit dem Ventilator bereits gute Erfahrung gesammelt habe, habe ich mich, nachdem der Brustgurt seinen Geist aufgegeben hatte, für ein weiteres Wahoo Gerät entschieden. Dabei war ich gespannt, ob die Funktion am Arm genauso zuverlässig ist, wie bei der Brustgurtvariante. Sowohl die Einrichtung war entsprechend einfach, wie auch die Funktion sehr zuverlässig erfüllt wurde und er die typischen Herzfrequenzen bei den typischen Watt Belastungen anzeigt, genau wie vorher. Im praktischen Betrieb hat sich gezeigt, dass das Umbinden um den Arm sehr einfach und stressfrei ist, der Sensor beim Trainieren nicht stört oder rutscht und zuverlässig, unspektakulär und störungsfrei arbeitet. Das Connecten geht sehr schnell, ebenso wie das Ausschalten. Dabei zeigen die LED die entsprechenden Funktion an. Weiterhin ist mir aufgefallen, dass das Gerät sehr lange genutzt werden kann, bevor es aufgeladen werden möchte. Das war ein kleines Manko bei meinem vorherigen Gerät, von daher bin ich auch mit der Ausdauerleistung sehr zufrieden. Insgesamt hinterlässt das Gerät ein wirklich guten Eindruck, es wird mit einer einfachen Ladeschale für die Rückseite geliefert, welche man in einem vorhandenen USB Port eines Ladegeräts oder am PC einstecken kann. Für mich hat es sich im mehrmals wöchentlichen Einsatz jetzt über Monate bewährt, es ist präzise und auf das Anlegen eines Brustgurt kann ich auch verzichten. Von daher hat er sich meiner Meinung nach zurecht fünf Sterne voll verdient.
