This item WILL replace the chest strap for cyclists!

I am an avid cyclist who has used chest straps with electrode paste for years. This product pairs instantly with Garmin and Peloton and iPhone apps. Accurate, stays in place, comfortable. Rechargeable, long battery life. What's not to like? I won't be going back to the chest strap.

Amazing

I made my own neoprene strap and wear it on my calf....It has good reading but 5 to 8 seconds of lag compared to the polar h10 chest strap. I wear this almost always as chest straps are meh at best for comfort. The 5 to 8 second delay doesnt bother me when I push the gas when exercising. Overall I would tell everyone on the market to buy it and forget chest straps

Pairs well with others

Works exactly as expected. Pairs well with my phone, zwift, and my GPS head unit. Have used it roughly 20-25 times in the month I have owned it and only charged it once, which was just one day ago. Should be good for another month no problem. Recommend to anyone out there looking for a monitor that doesn't wrap around the body and simple to put on and off and promptly control.

Works perfectly.

Have not had any issues, has worked perfectly. I pair this with the Wahoo App and Strava, and wear during bike rides and indoor training sessions. I no longer even consider the chest strap. Charge holds over many multiple workout sessions. Highly recommend.

SO Much Better Than a Chest Strap!

I am an avid amateur cyclist and was very frustrated with chest heart rate straps that slipped down, quit working, needed batteries changed every few weeks, and/or were just plain uncomfortable. My husband suggested and armband monitor and I went with the Wahoo, based on its 30 hour battery life. (I have done 10 hour bike races and needed the longer life.) I will never use a chest strap again!! The armband TICKR is very reliable, comfortable and yes, the battery does last 30 hours or longer. The armband slips off the mechanism with ease so I can wash it occasionally. I average 250 miles (12 hours per week) on the bike in the summer and I charge this about every 10-14 days--but my charging is proactive--it has only died once when I couldn't find the charger! Highly recommend.

No More chest strap!

I bought this in April 2018 and am very happy with it! Yes, the arm band deteriorates rather quickly. However, the main black band will still hold true. Once I get the length right for my arm, I don't unstrap and strap it. The band stretches so you can remove and replace the HRM on your arm. So even though the cloth like material and the plastic film on the band separated, the band still holds strong! I do wear sun sleeves on my arms so they go right over the Tickr Fit and hold it in place. I rode without sleeves too. I've had no issues with this HRM!

So far so good!

I’ve never really liked wearing chest strap heart rate monitors so when I saw the new TICKR FIT I was intrigued. Honestly tho I was hesitant to buy this TICKR FIT given the number of negative reviews about the strap, but I decided to give it a shot anyway given the very positive track record I’ve had with Wahoo. I’m glad I took the chance. I really like wearing this thing. It’s definitely more comfortable for me than a chest strap, and it seems just as accurate. I like that it comes with two band sizes so I can wear it on my wrist if I want sometimes instead of on my upper arm. I’ve tried both locations and they’ve both worked just fine for me. I’ll admit, I’ve only had it a week and we’ll see how the straps hold up over time. I checked with Wahoo and the strap is covered by the same 1 year warranty as the device- so if I do have strap issues I know Wahoo will step up and replace them during this first year. Hopefully that won’t be necessary but I know Wahoo stands behind their products.

TICKER FIT > Scosche > Mio

This is my 3rd optical hr monitor- used primarily for running (daily) and sometimes cycle (weekly). the Mio Link and Scosche Rhythm+ were my other two, each lasting 2 years. The Mio had the most durable strap- that stayed on when swimming- but would pick up cadence and had only an 8 hr battery. The Scosche was a bit more reliable, sometimes but seldom picking up cadence, and bands would last about 6 mos, and easily replaced. Battery life 7hrs. I've had this Wahoo for a few months now and it's the smallest, most comfortable, the band- unlike prior comments, seems to be holding up well, it has yet to pick up my cadence and seems to be spot-on with my HR. And- the best part- is the (spec) 30hr of battery life. So far- my best optical HR monitor yet. Now my HR monitor will last for any Ultra race, an IM, or a 2 week vacation without bringing the charger. Nice!

Never using a chest strap again!

Bought this TICKR HR monitor for use while road cycling in the mountains, as well as in spin classes. I primarily chose Wahoo because I already use their speed/cadence sensors on my road and TT bikes, and have their app on my phone. It works like a charm! Pairs quickly, is comfortable to wear and does not lose signal. I've been wearing it like a watch on my left wrist and am super impressed with how it consistently delivers accurate HR info. You're supposed to wear it on your forearm or upper arm but I find that the wrist is more comfortable and delivers the same results. Really excellent little product for the serious cyclist / spinner.

Just works

My wife and I use this with our Concept rower. Connects easily and has been very reliable. It's fairly comfortable too. Only issue we've had so far is that occasionally we have to wait a minute or two for the device to warm up a bit before readings are reliable. Not too terrible to put the band on while setting up. By the time we're ready to row it's usually warmed up enough.
