Product Price History
-
Different from original TickrX. The build and software is different from the original. I had the original (white and blur) for about 5 years before it started having connection and battery issues. The original does not connect with the wahoo app but connects fin we to 3rd parties. Also one of the old wahoo apps (that shows live calories burned) no longer exists. This latest version does all the same things but weighs a little bit more and has a different shaped strap. It takes up to 24 hours to sync onffline workouts. Annoying, but it’s still the most versatile and offers everything I want for a good price. The original model strap does not fit this new model so do not lose the strap that comes with this. It is $25 for a replacement from the brand. It actually does some other fancy stuff you get from Gps watches (Elevation, cadence, speed, maps, smoothness of steps, and stores offline workouts) does require both bluetooth and GPS for live feed even when set for indoor exercise. If you dont want to pay for a watch and you dont mind carrying a phone, this is worth the price.
Super simple and does what I need. I love stats and data, but I hate wearing watches. I’m not sure I want to waste money on a subscription to Whoop. So I have given the Wahoo a try. So far I’m a fan. I love that it connects to my iPhone, iPad, my Nordic Track bike with iFit. Obviously it works with my Wahoo Kickr. It links up to every app I have attempted to connect it to and its been far more accurate than other sensors that I have used either in watch form or built into the equipment. Very happy I got it. I do kind of wish it was rechargeable rather than using the watch battery, but I will reserve true judgement until I actually have to replace it. Longevity may change my current opinion.In addition to all the technical stuff above, I order this on a whim at 11pm. It was on my doorstep in the morning before I even got out of bed. Living 40 minutes from an Amazon hub has some perks, yet this is the first time I have ever had anything that was eligible for next day delivery actually come the next day, and for it to have been in such rapid fashion, I was super stoked about that.
Love this HRM. This Wahoo heart rate monitor has always worked great easy to connect to my devices always works just great!! I would like to see a better strap compared to the Polar, It just looks inferior, but it still works great, and some different colors! I know the Polar supposed to be the gold standard, but for me, it did not work well, and I am running it on iPhone 13 with the most updated iOS.

Was a good HRM… until the accuracy became suspect after 9 months of use. Being my first HRM I didn’t know what to look for but this one seemed to be a good place to start.It appeared to be reasonably accurate for some time, but it has always been a pain ‘connecting’ via BT/ANT+PRO:Well-known brandSmall size/weightCON:- Metal clip to adjust strap length was too bulky (I bought a different brand replacement strap)- VERY ornery when connecting… app will say ‘connecting’ for a while then bail out even though I can see the LED’s blinking and it shows 3-4 bars on the app. Sometimes I’d have to go through the process 2-3 times before it was fully connected.- Loses accuracy over time?At about 8 months of use I noticed the data was getting more erratic.After research I thought it may be the strap so I checked the resistance of the strap and although just within the accepted range I bought another strap. While it ‘seemed’ to be better for a while (I now believethat was wishful thinking) it turned out to be no better.Ok, maybe it needs a new battery? Although the charge was at 88% I replaced it anyway.But even with new battery and new strap the readings from the TICKR X became so far from reality, consistently reading 20-25% higher than actual (compared to a high quality BP/HR monitor as well as other brand HRM) that I gave up on it and have moved on to another brand HRM.Not wishing for numerous accounts to various fitness tracking sites, althoughI use the WAHOO app with the HRM I export the data to my computer and ultimately to Garmin Connect.
Not worth the money. I have been a long time endurance athlete with 30+ years of endurance training and racing and have used about every HR monitor and strap out there. Garmin continues to be the best, however the most expensive. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. Prior to trying the Wahoo strap I had purchased an off brand strap that worked great for two plus years without any issue. I decided to try the Wahoo strap when I needed a new one as I had heard good things and they are cheaper than a Garmin strap. Well given it only connects initially to my GarminFenix or my Garmin Edge about half the time without having to fight with it not worth the money and not even close to the off brand strap that cost less than half as much. The worst functionality of this strap comes when I attempt to do my HRV measurement in the morning. I wet the strap and connect it to my Fenix and more often than not it shows my resting heart rate at 220. This is usually after 5-10 attempts to get it to connect. My actual HR when I check my pulse is in the 40s-50s. I will take the strap off and on multiple times but it normally takes 3-5 minutes to read properly. Do better Wahoo. My advice, if you want a higher end strap that gives you running metrics, etc. go with Garmin, they cost more but work well. Or if you are looking for a basic strap go with an off brand. They tend to work well for a much cheaper price point.
Device works great. Update: The manufacturer honored the warranty on the belt and sent me a new one. Grateful they stand behind there product.I’ve had it almost a year now. The device works great. The only issue is the strap didn’t make it a year. It started delaminating from the belt at the first of May. I cannot use the device until I get another belt. Other than that, the product and app work great for me.

Great entry level. I got this specifically for the offline workout feature. Since I can’t wear a fitness watch while playing soccer or baseball or many other sports for that matter. This heart rate monitor did exactly what I wanted. Wearing it offline for a 3 hour baseball game, I didn’t notice any drops in data. It does not measure distance in the offline mode only heart rate and time (I have a separate vest gps tracking device if I’m interested in tracking distance). Uploading the workout to the wahoo app is extremely simple, uses bluetooth. I use an apple watch to record my workouts outside of wahoo, so I allow wahoo to share the information with my health app and it updates all the calorie and workout metrics there as well if you’re interested in that. If you want to use the heart rate monitor in online mode you will need to run it through the wahoo app, unless you have a wahoo watch to pair with it. I’ve used it a few times in online mode, lots of cool additional running features. Not a fan of running with my phone so I don’t often use it for this purpose. Might invest in a wahoo watch in the future if I’m interested in using the full capabilities of the system. The strap itself is easy to adjust. I think heartrate monitors in general are difficult to keep from riding down your chest, no matter how many gel adhesives are on the strap. Although I do wish this one had some gel adhesives to help, it does stay stable on a run. I only have adjust it during the warm up. After that I don’t find myself having to adjust it while playin baseball or anything. Doesn’t feel like I’m wearing it most of the time. For my purpose of using it in offline mode this is a solid 10/10.

WORST HRM I’ve ever owned. I purchased this having used the original Tickr and was happy with the old one. But I needed another HRM. This new model is not accurate. I put it on and the HR was all over the place. From the 70s to the 130s and back within a few minutes when I was just walking. I tried a new battery and that didn’t fix it. I tried pairing it with my garmin watch. Same thing. Paired with the wahoo app. Same problem. Paired with a garmin edge 1030. Still didn’t work right. I paired it with my phone. Still inaccurate. I paired it with my wife’s wahoo ELMNT and it still didn’t read correctly. I did most of the same with my older Tickr and a Garmin HRM and they both worked fine.Wahoo has been or no help with this. I recommend getting another HRM from Garmin or if you can find the old Tickr get one of those. Don’t waste your money on this piece of crap.
I like it better than Garmin, but. It connects and stays connected much better than my garmin HRM that I use for cycling, BUT this first one only lasted about 6 months. My guess is that perhaps over time, sweat slowly worked its way into the battery compartment causing the battery to short and drain.Wahoo customer service was great. I sent them a warranty claim via their website and within a few days I had a new replacement on my doorstep. One thing I’m going to try with this one is applying a very thin layer of dielectric grease around the battery cover to see if that will help stop any potential sweat infiltration. If it is still going strong after 6 months from today, 8/21/23, I’ll update my review.Yeah, you shouldn’t have to add grease to help make it more water tight, but it is what it is. I still like the way this one is more dependable as far as staying connected to my cycling computer…now to see if we’ll get more than 6 months from it.
