Problematic Heart rate – always at 227 bpm – reviewed. After a few months we of use started to occasionally show extremely high HR worsening to the point of becoming unusable, HR goes to 227 and stays there forever, removing and replacing batteries do not resolve the issueReview: after contacting customer support and confirming it was a technical failure they sent me a new device
My fourth one in about 8 years. The original Wahoo Blue HR lasted me at least 4 years until a battery leak killed it. The next one was the first version of this model (TICKR) with a strap with smooth electrode pads. That one died just after the 1 year warranty lapsed, like within a few days after. Wahoo wasn’t initially keen to replace it but ultimately did. Turned out the strap had failed and the unit itself was fine. About 6 months after that, another battery leak killed yet another HRM. That’s when I decided it was best to buy the extended 3 year warranty. Seems like a good deal all things considered, especially if they honor it even for a leaking battery.Now I’ve got 3 straps that work (no idea why the original strap works again) and at least one HRM. The newer straps have different (textured) electrode pads and poor plastic tensioner things (slip more easily than the ones on the original strap). I’m going to try the other HRMs with various straps and different batteries (not wasting money on name brand batteries any more because they leak regularly). I always use electrode gel and rinse the entire strap after each use.The straps seem to be a weak point on these but the unit itself also seems entirely intolerant of moisture or liquid (I’m not sure if coin cell liquid is corrosive – I didn’t think it was). Hopefully it doesn’t fail so I don’t have to test the warranty but I suspect it will. If it makes it past the 3 year extended warranty, I’ll try a generic replacement strap or give up on chest strap HRMs all together.
Easy to use. My only complaint is the battery drains when not in use.So if I don’t ride for a while I just remove the battery to prevent this.
A good HRM that works really well…until it doesn’t. I’m on my 4th Wahoo TICKR and I finally give up. I purchased on a couple of years ago and that first initial one was the best one. Eventually after a year or so it crapped out. I bought a new one and I’ve had to replace it twice. Wahoo’s customer service has been outstanding, but at a certain point I need stop receiving replacement devices and have a working HRM. This device constantly drops connection, not only from the official app but from other compatible fitness apps.I’ve done every bit of troubleshooting: wet the electrodes, regularly clean the strap and unit, reset the device, replace the battery, update firmware (which I can no longer do because of connection issues), disconnect from the Wahoo app when using third-party apps, etc. My only guess is there seems to be an issue with the HRM unit itself, or at least it’s battery connection. The only way to get my various units to function was to squeeze the plate and apply pressure to the battery cover.
Hasn’t worked from the start *update*. Ordered this to replace a dead Garmin heart rate monitor and have had nothing but problems. I’ve had this for a week and had issues from the second it came out the box I’m regretting not buying another Garmin. The tickr doesn’t connect with my Wahoo Roam automatically – I need to forget and re-pair it each time I turn the computer on. When connected it often disconnects itself. When it is actually connected it often reads below my resting heart rate while I’m exercising. I’ve updated the firmware, made sure it wasn’t paired with multiple devices at one time, and have the same reliability issues with it paired to my phone so it isn’t the computer. I have a help ticket in with Wahoo and may update my rating based on how they handle it, but as it stands this had been a pretty bad experience.*update*Turns out one of the battery door tabs was broken from the start meaning there was a bad battery connection. Wahoo has been very communicative in troubleshooting and making an exchange for a new one has been easy. Upgraded to 3 stars based on good/quick support
