Wahoo TICKR FIT Heart Rate Armband, Bluetooth, ANT+

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

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 😃👍

In the past I have experienced problems with HRM ( wrist and chest strap )not connecting to my Zwift app or dropping out . So far no problems . I would have preferred to have paid less for a reliable monitor. 12/07/25 After use over the past few weeks this monitor has connected every time . The app is also very accurate and easy to use .

High quality heart rate monitor

I bought this to use on a Peloton bike and it works really well. It's easy and comfortable to wear and I find it almost as accurate as a chest strap. Not quite as responsive, but much easier to use. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time between charges and I haven't had any problems after six months of regular use. I occasionally use this monitor for running along with the free Wahoo Fitness app. It works well and is a reliable basic fitness app.

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.

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’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 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.

It works perfectly

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...

Ich habe den Wahoo TICKR Herzfrequenzmesser gekauft und nach mehreren Wochen intensiver Nutzung (u. a. beim Laufen, Radfahren und HIIT-Training) bin ich absolut überzeugt! Hier meine detaillierte Bewertung: ✅ Stärken: ✔ Hochwertige Verarbeitung: Das Material fühlt sich robust und langlebig an – keine billige Plastikoptik. Der elastische Gurt sitzt sicher und zeigt selbst nach häufiger Nutzung keine Abnutzungserscheinungen. ✔ Ausgezeichneter Tragekomfort: Selbst bei starkem Schwitzen oder intensiven Bewegungen verrutscht der Sensor nicht und drückt nicht unangenehm. Besonders praktisch: Er lässt sich wahlweise am Oberarm oder Brustgurt tragen (für mich ein Game-Changer, da Brustgurte oft stören). ✔ Einfache Pflege & Waschbarkeit: Nach schweißtreibenden Workouts einfach unter fließend Wasser abspülen oder kurz mit einem feuchten Tuch abwischen – keine Geruchsbildung oder Materialschäden. ✔ Lange Akkulaufzeit: Eine Ladung hält bei mir mehrere Wochen (bei täglichem Training). Die USB-Aufladung ist unkompliziert, und die Ladestandsanzeige via App (Wahoo/kompatible Fitness-Apps) ist zuverlässig. ✔ Zuverlässige & präzise Messung: Die Datenübertragung per Bluetooth/Ant+ ist stabil, und die gemessenen Werte stimmen mit meiner Smartwatch und Gym-Geräten überein – keine Aussetzer oder unrealistischen Sprünge. ❌ Kleinere Kritikpunkte: Die App (Wahoo Fitness) ist funktional, aber nicht ganz so intuitiv wie z. B. Polar oder Garmin. Beim Oberarm-Tragen kann bei sehr schmalen Armen eventuell eine leichte Anpassung des Gurtes nötig sein. Fazit: Der Wahoo TICKR ist einer der besten Herzfrequenzmesser am Markt – besonders für alle, die Flexibilität (Brust/Oberarm), Komfort und Präzision schätzen. Der Preis ist gerechtfertigt, und die Langlebigkeit überzeugt. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! Perfect für: Ausdauersportler, HIIT-Fans & alle, die genaue Bio-Daten ohne Kompromisse wollen! 🚴‍♂️💪 (Tipp: Bei Oberarm-Nutzung vor dem Training leicht anfeuchten für bessere Leitfähigkeit!)
