The Wahoo TICKR FIT armband is by far the best heart rate monitor I’ve owned. This year I purchased and returned three different highly rated chest straps – two Polars and one Garmin. Without going into great detail, let me just say the other three caused me nothing but trouble, mostly connection issues, along with a host of other problems. By the way, I followed the instructions explicitly!
I have been using the Wahoo for a little over a month now without a glitch. It has been flawless from the day I first set it up. It is also extremely accurate. I have compared it with both my fingertip pulse oximeter, and my Omron heart rate monitor. It is always right on target, or at least within two or three points. One other thing I’m stoked about, it is a heck of a lot easier to put on than a chest strap!
I can’t imagine anyone being unhappy with this product. Just buy it!

Excelente producto, falla en ocasiones cuando usas algún bloqueador o crema en los brazos.

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.

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.

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.

De momento me parece una buena cinta , ya que marca bien las pulsaciones y dura bastantes días sin cargar ..

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.

Le misurazioni sono molto precise , il materiale buono , escono due misure di fascia braccio ed una volta indossato non crea problemi . avevo bisogno di un cardiofrequenzimtro con storico e cronologia ed un po di grafici della sessione e sono rimasto super soddisfatto. io mi alleno 5 giorni a settimana per circa 3 ore a sessione e con questo cardiofreq ho trovato la mia pace . per ora sto usando l’app base di Wahoo che mi va piu’ che bene. ho notato che la distanza dal cellulare non crea problemi al blueth. quindi per me rapporto prezzo qualita ‘ piu’ che 5 stelle

This heart monitor is awesome. It connected right away to my Peloton bike. It’s accurate, comfortable and has a great battery life. I charge it once a week just in case but I bet it lasts longer. It’s got two sizes for the band which is good as my husbands forearm is bigger than mine. I really love it!

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!
