great!

I have used it for a couple of times. You receive accurate information about your workout. Easy to pair with Strava. Easy to use and practical.It has Bluetooth connection and a battery that is easy to change.

Works great with Garmin app and watch

I do not use the app that comes with it (Wahoo). This strap sync'd quickly with my Garmin Fenix 5s and iPhoneX with Garmin app. I use the strap when I need my HR to be tracked more accurately (high intensity workouts, running, strenuous hiking) then with just the wrist based tracking on my watch. Wrist based is fine for lower intensity workouts or activities, but sometimes you need more accuracy with a chest strap.

Great heart rate monitor

Heart rate strap works great. Easy to pair...I've paired with my phone, watch, and ergometer. App is pretty good too where you can share your workout information amongst multiple other fitness apps. I've used without my phone or watch nearby and the memory works really well - downloads my workout after. It's been comfortable to wear. I've worn it indoors and outdoors for running, spinning, rowing on water, and rowing indoors.

Best Monitor hands down!!

This is the best heart monitor I have purchased. I have a 48 inch chest and it fits me comfortably. When I hook it on the LED lights let me know if its on. Also, the app is great. It gives me updates on of my progress while I am working out depending on the exercise I am doing and how I set up my settings. I can program it to tell me every 5 mins, every lap I complete, or every 1 mile. Also allowing me to mark laps by double tapping my chest is an ingenious idea by the developers. The App could use more exercise profiles but so far it does what it is intended to do. Also, I left this in my sweat pants one time and the monitor went for a wash and dry cycle. It made it out and still works perfectly. It is incredibly durable. I am very satisfied

Definitely a good first HR monitor

Fiancé got this for me for Christmas. I got a garmin viviosmart as well, but whenever I do HIIT or play volleyball, the heart rate count becomes completely inaccurate. I'm trying to follow a very specific weight loss plan based on my activity during the week so as not to lose muscle mass, and having this more accurate heart rate count has been very helpful. It's also definitely worth he upgrade from the original tckr so that there is no concern about losing data if you wander too far from your phone. The app does what it's supposed to do, the calorie estimates are a bit high (I think it's probably overestimating but the about 10% on average) but it is easy to use easy to navigate and it gives useful feedback. Not too many bells and whistles but that's perfect for me

Start by downloading RunFit app. Then try collecting data without phone or watch to store data. Great value.

I just want to give some tips and explanation that the features that are useful and work straight out of the box. First, the paperwork does not explain the proper app to download. Wahoo tries to upsell you to a different app BodyFitness where you would buy video streaming coaching. I just wanna take walks and measure my heart rate as a 60-year-old man. so you have to get The wahoo app RunFit. My primary complaint is that because of that silence I didn’t know how to see the data on my iPhone initially. I also have had trouble getting it to connect to my first generation apple I watch. It has only connected once. I have nothing to compare this to, so could be the apple i watch. So once I got the RunFit app, I can see and prove that when I just wear the strap and go out without my iPhone it will record my heart rate and calories burned and time. But because it has no GPS inside of itself, it cannot record milage. When I returned home, and get the strap near my iPhone and follow steps that the RunFit app explains, I am able to sync the data that was being collected by the strap all by itself during my morning walk. Another thing I learned is that when you snap the band together, it activates the lights on the plastic main sensor (tapping helps too) and that is how you know the strap is collecting data. If you don’t see the lights, disconnect the clip, and reconnect. Next, I had purchased the Fitbit charge2 To track my heart rate, but it didn’t seem to be as accurate or consistent with my apple iwatch which was higher in many cases. After using the ticker X, I am presuming it is the most accurate, and now I would conclude that the Fitbit charge2 is not tracking as accurately when you get to higher heart rate ... 134 bpm and higher. I would also infer that the I watch first generation does probably track your heart rate pretty well, because I was getting those high readings on that I watch when I wasn’t getting those readings on the Fitbit charger2. I am presuming it is the most accurate, I would conclude that the Fitbit charger 2 is not tracking when you get a higher heart rate nearer 134 bpm. I am going to keep using the ticker x for one primary reason. I like the fact that it collects data on my heart rate all by itself without an iPhone or watch. Just strap it on. The advantage is that I don’t have to bring my iPhone on a walk unless I want to track my mileage. Carrying an iPhone can be a drag, Also sometimes you’re in a place where you don’t wanna be carrying an iPhone for safety sake. So you can get an accurate read without your iPhone and track your heart rate during a workout. Andif you already know the distance of the area you’re walking on, what does it matter you don’t have it listed in your results? However, what I do to gain mileage without the iPhone is I wear my Fitbit charger2 which gives me accurate steps and approximate distance. So my Fitbit report will show distance, but my wahoo run fit will show me the time and average heart rate and zones. Together, I have all I need. One last thing: it is also very comfortable fabric. In summary, This is an excellent value for the money. You get all the data you need for accurate heart rate monitoring. you have the option to use a smart watch. You can use a Fitbit2 to track distance when you’re not carrying your iPhone.

A HRM that actually works.

I tried a Zephyr HRM after the app I use updated and my old CooSpo unit no longer connected. That was terrible. This one connects everytime with endomondo and the wahoo fitness tracker everytime. Love the battery life so far as well. With the Fitness app Wahoo recommends, I even get to record cadence without having to buy a cadence tool. Comfortable strap. Fits my 46 inch chest fine.

Awesome option for anyone on a budget for a all in one tracker

Well worth the money for someone looking for a cheaper option then a tracker that goes on your wrist. If you have a smart phone this is your next best option. Have used in conjunction with Apple Watch 4 and hold within 1-2 bpm with the watch on the heart rate.

Better than expected!

I bought this heart rate monitor partly because it connected to the fitness apps I use on my iPhone (Mapmyride, Cyclemeter, etc.). It does connect flawlessly to my phone and apps so I am pleased. I went ahead and downloaded the free Wahoo fitness app anyway and gave it a try - it is able to use the motion sensor in the tickrx to estimate cadence. Checked the cadence accuracy during spin class and it is right on. There is a slight delay (about 3-5 seconds) when I change cadence until the estimate updates but at steady pace it is very accurate. So that was a bonus as I was just buying it for the HR measurement. Also the ability of the monitor to record and store HR and then upload to phone later is a nice feature. On the whole very pleased with this product!

Great HR Monitor. Expect to buy a replacement strap.

I have not used all of the features of this device. It can do Rep counting and indoor cycling cadence metrics, but I have primarily used it for strength training, treadmill running and outdoor running. As for the strap included..... it lasted around 4 months before the electrode section separated from the elastic strap. The strap was comfortable there were very little problems with it working but the components did not seem to last together for long.... I bought a new strap to go with the main unit and everything is working well now. The main unit itself works very well, the main reason for my 5 star rating. It can track a very large slew of statistics that most people would probably want to use in physical training. Instantaneous HR, Average HR, HR zones, Cadence while running, ect. This device allow any user to monitor what's going on. It doesn't just work with the Wahoo Fitness app (which is a very good app), it worked with Samsung health, and even connected via ANT+ to a fitness watch. It's ability to connect via bluetooth and ANT+ should allow for some connectivity on any smartphone or fitness device.
