Pros and cons

According to our heart rate sensor expert

Thanks to Bluetooth and ANT+, you can easily connect the sensor to devices like your smartphone, sports watch, or cyclocomputer.
The lights on the sensor indicate when you have a connection and your heart rate is being measured.
The heart rate sensor is encoded to prevent the signal from your heart rate monitor from interfering with the signals of your sports buddies.
If you forget to disconnect the sensor from the tire, the battery will run out.
No data is stored when there isn't a telephone present.

Description

Wahoo TICKR

ANT+, Bluetooth
iPhone 5
Strava, Runkeeper
No manual

What an ideal heart rate monitor! Very easy to connect to both an ANT+ and Bluetooth device. I have now used it with an iPhone 5 and Garmin Oregon 650 and am very satisfied. Furthermore, the chest strap is very comfortable and does not irritate during exercise. I am very curious how long the battery will last with simultaneous use of ANT+ and Bluetooth.

User-friendly and solid

Usability
Comfort
Energy consumption

The supplied manual is very concise. However, this is not a problem at all because everything is self-explanatory. I use the Tickr in combination with an Iphone 5s and Strava. After I put on the (soft) chest strap and the Tickr, I installed the corresponding Utility app from the AppStore. This app found the Tickr instantly and suggested updating the firmware. This takes about 20 seconds and is fully automatic.

In Strava I had to indicate in the settings that I wanted to use the Tickr. After 1x setting, Strava will automatically pick up the signal from now on.

All in all, a user-friendly device. When I'm on the bike, I barely feel that I'm wearing the Tickr. I regularly cycle with several people who have the same Heart Rate Monitor and this does not cause any problems or malfunctions.

I have not been able to test the ANT connection. The battery consumption of my iPhone 5s is also very bad. I can easily cycle 5 hour trips and then my battery is still more than 50% full (started at 100%).

Please note that this heart rate monitor can only be used with iPhone 4s or newer!

Review is 7,5 out of 10.

User-friendly but mediocre ergonomics and solidity

Ant+ and Bluetooth so compatible with everything
Band falls off when running

I've had the Wahoo Tickr for more than half a year now, and in that time I've been working out quite a bit with it several times a week. I use it for running and on road bikes.

This heart rate monitor works with both Bluetooth and Ant+, making it compatible with just about any device. For example, if you are just starting to exercise, you can first use your smartphone and if you get more serious, you can purchase a watch or cycling computer in the knowledge that you do not have to buy a new heart rate monitor.

Unfortunately, the fastening (works with press studs) comes loose quickly. This is especially a problem with running because the band sometimes loosens on its own and then falls off quickly. Then you try to slide it up and release the strap. It is therefore best to put it on quite tightly before you leave.

I haven't experienced the above on the bike, probably because you wear tight clothing over the meter that helps keep it in place. Wahoo is also a company with mainly bicycle products, so that may have been their focus with this meter.

The band is unfortunately only so-so in terms of soundness. You have to wash it regularly because, like other sportswear, it will smell quite smelly if you don't do it. Unfortunately, the poor tire can't handle that very well: the rubber pads became loose after a few months of use and after six months they were completely loose. You can then either buy a new fabric strap (these are sold separately, go figure...) or buy a jar of universal glue and glue the pads back on yourself. The band will still work fine if the pads are loose. Of course I washed the strap by hand and did not put it in the dryer.

I think the pads loosening is exacerbated by the fact that you have to put the band on very tight when running. As a result, the force that is put on the glue under the pads is greater than if it were a bit looser, such as on a bicycle.

All in all, despite the flaws, I am satisfied with the Tickr, although it is sometimes very frustrating to have to interrupt your sports session to put it back on properly. If I had to buy a new meter again, I would look for a better alternative because of the mentioned defects.
