My TICKR FIT has been working extremely well since I purchased it a couple months ago. I use it with my Apple Watch and it connects smoothly to the watch via blue-tooth, and never seems to drop out. It is comfortable (I wear it just above or below my elbow, with the “wahoo” facing in front of me) and it has enabled my watch to read my heart rate much more consistently and accurately. Before, I had to cinch my watch so tight it hurt and even then it was all over the map on heart rate reading during cardio exercise. Now, I can wear my watch + TICKR FIT comfortably and heart rate readings are consistent and accurate. I now have much more confidence in my health data. I also tried the TICKR (iphone) app which will record heart rate during workouts. I liked the app and would be happy using that as well but the data there is not in-step with the way Apple records it’s “active cals”. So, to keep my health data consistent, I use it with the watch.

This is an excellent HRM. Easy to wear, accurate and has a long lasting battery. It gave comparable results to my old chest strap monitor. I’m completely satisfied.

Plus confortable que la ceinture tout en étant aussi précis !

Ho effettuato ad oggi una decina di uscite impegnative tra ciclismo e running e devo dire che il dispositivo funziona in maniera perfetta. Ho utilizzato in tanti anni diverse fasce cardio e quasi sempre riportavano forti oscillazioni anche con battiti regolari.
Questa non sbaglia un colpo.
Comoda e leggera una volta provata non tornerete più indietro verso quella toracica.
Durata batteria ottima in due ore di allenamento consuma più o meno un 5%

I’ve tried wrist and chest monitors for years.
Don’t like the inconvenience or discomfort of chest straps, and found wrist monitors like an Apple Watch frequently not accurate and or update rate too slow. But the Wahoo armband is PERFECT! As accurate ( or very close) to my chest strap, but FAR more comfortable and much easier to use, it also updates rate very very quickly ( usually within 1-3 beats), great battery life, easy to charge up in about 1.5hrs.
Arm placement was very easy about1in below elbow on outer forearm works perfect!
Had to take my time adjusting tightness of band to be snug, but not to tight. Very comfortable to wear for long periods during any time of exercise. Once band length is set it just slides on or off very easily, no need to adjust after that. Not sure about the negative reviews, but mine works flawlessly and easily.
Will never go back to a chest strap monitor.
I suspect the reviewers who had dropouts on readings either had tightness of band wrong or incorrect placement,, does take a little experimentation initially.
Great product!! I’d give it 6 stars if I could.

I did a lot of research before buying 2 of the Wahoo Ticker Fits for myself and my wife. Turns out nearly all of the negative reviews we read about had an easy fix. A little trial and error in where to place the sensor on your body goes a long ways in eliminating dropouts and false readings. Experiment with Bluetooth connectivity with your phone, especially when bike riding, keep the distance short. I wear mine just below my shoulder when cycling and on the same side as my phone carrier. Also, do NOT use any sunscreen or lotion! With a little common sense these are exceptional HRM’s that work very well. The batteries last a really long time and are easily charged with the magnetic USB clip, remaining charge is shown on the app.
The factory App is basic, which I like, yet shows all of the important stuff. It has a wide variety of named workout routines, including cycling and skiing, and the ability to modify or easily create your own named routine. After imputing personal stats it auto-computes your personal heart rate ranges and calories burned, along with easy to read graphs that track each other. On our bike rides we get a detailed map of our route with elevation, speed, and heart rate graphs. Additional pages of collected data can be added at will. The stationary workout routines of course do not show mileage or elevation and are tailored to the workout you choose, all of which are saved in history and easily retrieved or deleted. Linking is easy to a plethora of fitness apps. I personally just use the factory app, but my wife links to Google Fit.
Cleaning is easy with mild soap and water as the sensor is waterproof with no battery doors. I had heard how flimsy the band was, really? Its a soft Velcro band that is very comfortable and after a month of daily use and a few cleanings I see no signs of visible wear. That said, it is not stainless steel or hard plastic which would no doubt last longer at the price of comfort. I think the band is a non issue, when and if I wear it out I’ll just replace it, to me comfort is more important than extreme longevity.
Bottom line is we are extremely satisfied and glad we did not listen to some of the bad reviews or get a wrist watch or the chest strap type. Is it perfect? No, and you will need to experiment a little to get your personal ‘sweet spot’ for where to place it on your body. After that it will perform very well. We use them daily!

I bought the Tickr Fit because I don’t like chest strap heart rate monitors. I find them annoying to get on and uncomfortable to wear. The Tickr Fit is way easier to wear and I find it very comfortable. I’m not sure it is as precise as the chest-strap monitors but it is sufficient for my purposes. However, I’ve been very disappointed with the app as compared to the Polar app. It’s not intuitive to use, doesn’t show a heart-rate range as you exercise and seems very glitchy connecting to the device at least at the gym where I exercise. I’ve looked at other apps that theoretically are compatible with the Tickr Fit but none of them seem to do what I want.

Finally. I got rid of the chest strap. I use the HR monitor for road cycling and mountain biking. The chest strap was it for years. The problem is that the chest strap is uncomfortable. And if you have a GoPro harness on your chest or a chest strap for a hydration pack, it’s worse. I researched my alternative, and ended up with the Wahoo band. It works like a charm. It’s comfortable, and it’s unobtrusive. It works with my Garmin Edge. I haven’t run into battery limitations, and the magnetic charging clip is a cinch to use.
It took 15 minutes of practice and adjustment to figure out how to properly put it on (it goes on your upper forearm). Once I’ve figured it out, it takes a few seconds.
What about accuracy? Isn’t optical less accurate than electrical? In all honesty… I don’t care. It seems accurate. It tells me my HR just the same. If I were to find out that it’s 2% less accurate than my chest strap, would it diminish the utility? Not in the slightest.
So far I am very happy with this product.
